\u00a9 ANDRITZ<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This major investment marks S\u00f6dra\u2019s entry into the lignin market as part of its strategy to make the most of the wood used in pulp production. This will be the first commercial kraft lignin plant in Sweden and the largest in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kraft lignin is a by-product of pulp production for paper. Today it is used in pulp mills to generate energy. However, it can also be used as a renewable resource to replace fossil-based materials in the chemical industry or form the basis for new biofuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis investment means a lot for S\u00f6dra and for our kraft pulp mill in M\u00f6nster\u00e5s. We will make more out of every tree and strengthen our profitability. This is a big investment for S\u00f6dra and the green transition,\u201d <\/em>says Karin Derneg\u00e5rd, Mill Manager at S\u00f6dra Cell M\u00f6nster\u00e5s.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ANDRITZ will supply a system to recover the lignin contained in the black liquor from the pulping process, making it available to S\u00f6dra as a saleable product. The scope of supply will also include supporting systems that improve the mill\u2019s environmental performance and ensure full integration of lignin recovery into the existing operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system will be based on the innovative ANDRITZ LignaRecTM<\/sup> lignin recovery process<\/a>. The lignin drying section, equipped with flash dryer technology, will further process the kraft lignin, ensuring a top-quality product. The integration of the LignaRec process into the M\u00f6nster\u00e5s pulp mill will be completed by the installation of an ANDRITZ SulfoLoopTM<\/sup> sulfuric acid plant<\/a>. This plant enables the closure of the sulfur loop, avoiding the purge of sulfate streams even after lignin recovery is implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lignin and sulfur recovery solutions are part of ANDRITZ\u2019s CircleToZero<\/a> initiative, which aims to maximize the use of side streams in pulp mills, laying the foundation for zero emissions and zero waste production. With the new order, S\u00f6dra continues its collaboration with ANDRITZ on the reuse of side streams. The company already operates an ANDRITZ KraftanolTM<\/sup> biomethanol<\/a> plant at its M\u00f6nster\u00e5s mill. This plant is the first of its kind in the world to convert by-products of pulp production into purified biomethanol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are very pleased that S\u00f6dra has once again placed its trust in us to implement a first-of-its-kind solution that supports the green transition and at the same time opens up new business opportunities,\u201d says Joachim Sch\u00f6nbeck, President and CEO of ANDRITZ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

S\u00f6dra\u2019s lignin production plant is scheduled to start up in 2027 and is enabled through the Swedish Energy Agency and The Industrial Leap via NextGenerationEU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
