Valmet will deliver a recovery boiler upgrade to Lecta Group’s Torraspapel combined pulp and paper mill in Zaragoza, Spain.
According to Valmet, the primary target of the upgrade is to increase the recovery boiler’s black liquor capacity. The upgrade will also reduce the mill’s emission levels and improve the water side of the boiler, hence enabling the capacity increase. The upgrade will take place during the mill’s annual shutdown in October 2023.
“The project will help Lecta to optimize the energy balance of Zaragoza mill as well as make progress in our medium-term decarbonization plan. It also contributes to eliminate a bottleneck for possible future growth in production and/or use of other eucalyptus species. Valmet has always been a reliable and trustworthy supplier for Lecta, with a high degree of technical capabilities in the pulp and paper areas,” says Primitivo Prados, Mill Manager at Torraspapel mill.

Arctic Paper S.A. expects an EBITDA result for the Q2 2023 in the range of PLN 60-70 million ($14.7- 17.2 million), which is lower than current market estimates. The lower result is due to a significantly lower revenue of PLN 836 million ($205 million); this in turn is due to the general economic slowdown and customers destocking. Arctic Paper focuses on margins and has adapted production with a high degree of cost efficiency to meet the weaker market.
“The volatility of the pulp and paper markets serves as a reminder of the importance of our long-term strategic plan to diversify into energy and packaging, while maintaining our strong positions in the pulp and paper markets. We are working intensively to develop future growth opportunities in line with the 4P strategy”, says Michal Jarczyński, CEO of Arctic Paper S.A.
