Valmet will supply Valmet DNA Distributed Control System (DCS) and Valmet IQ Quality Control System (QCS) with the latest web-based Valmet DNA User Interface to Union Paper Mills’ paper machine PM 2 in its Dubai facility, in the United Arab Emirates.
Union Paper Mills selected Valmet’s automation systems based on a successful previous project conducted in 2017 for the automation of paper machine PM 3 in its Al Dhafra facility in Abu Dhabi. The new systems will replace the existing DCS and QCS from another supplier and enable the mill to improve the operating efficiency and optimize the end-product quality with the latest automation technology.
The order was included in Valmet’s orders received of the third quarter 2023. The delivery and start-up will take place in 2024. The value of the order is not disclosed.
