Chempolis to supply three biorefineries to China
Chempolis has signed a licence and EPC agreement with Tianjin Jiuqian Paper Co Ltd. to supply three formico® biorefineries, each capable of producing 100,000 t/a of bleached wheat straw pulp. The new plants are scheduled to start up in 2012-2013.
Chempolis’ scope of supply will cover formico® technology licence and supplying EPC services (engineering, procurement, commissioning and start-up services). The biorefineries will incorporate Chempolis’ latest formicofib™ technologies. The value of the order exceeds EUR 60 million.
“Many paper companies are now focusing on solutions that would help save forest resources, and Chempolis’ formicofib™ technology offers an excellent way of refining residual local non-wood biomass into high-quality papermaking fibres and biochemicals,” which can be distributed locally too”, says Esa Rousu, the President and CEO of Chempolis Ltd.
