What’s next for state-of-the-art bioproduct mill?

Pulp mills have not had the best of reputations over the years. Looking back to my childhood in the 1970s, some of that infamy is merited, but we can all be proud of the industry today and the improvement of environmental performance alongside raw material and energy efficiency.

How to make HSE part of the company DNA?

Every autumn, Valmet celebrates a Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) awareness week. Continuous improvement in HSE performance is an integral part of Valmet's excellence in processes must-win and our 360° agenda for sustainability.

What’s the value of giving more autonomy to mills or plants?

While Industrial Internet applications can be used to instantly optimize processes, they also allow us to predict what’s around the corner: Thanks to the more predictive nature of the available information, it’s possible to gain better control of the daily work in a mill or plant by pre-planning activities and running the process with fewer resources.

GTL – the fuel of the future?

Fischer-Tropsch based technology present viable route in producing non-crude oil based high quality fuels and specialty products to meet the growing market demand. GTL opens new markets to natural gas producers as the estimated natural gas reserves have continuously increased over the past decade.

Aerodynamic noise attenuation in rotary control valves

Are rotary control valves a good choice to be used in dampening aerodynamic noise? Here’s what our expert blogger Ville Kähkönen explains.

Achieving better accuracy in flow control with a unique plug shape

Although Finetrol belongs to the eccentric plug valve category (IEC 60534-1 Sect 3.1.2.5), it has design differences that distinguish it from other eccentric plug valves currently available on the market. One of the special design features is a balanced plug that delivers benefits when it comes to better accuracy in flow control.
