Metso’s delivery will include a two-vessel Compact Cooking G2 digester for producing 200,000 tons of eucalyptus pulp per year.

It will also reduce the mill’s environmental impact.Start-up of the equipment is scheduled for July 2012."This order confirms that our continous cooking technology is considered world leading," said Erik Kornfeld, site manager at Metso Paper Sweden AB in Karlstad.Phoenix Pulp & Paper Public Company is a pioneer in pulp products.
