Archive addition: Valmet details Rizhao pulp delivery booked in Q2
The 21 October disclosure concerns an order exceeding EUR 100 million already booked in Q2, not a new award today.
The story explained
Valmet’s 21 October announcement details a Century Sunshine Rizhao pulp-mill order exceeding EUR 100 million, already booked in Q2 2026. This archive addition does not present it as a new award.
Delivery covers cooking and fibre lines, evaporation, recovery boiler optimisation, ash treatment and white liquor production. One fibre line switches between hardwood and softwood; another serves fluff and dissolving pulp.
The recovery scope includes recausticising and two lime kilns with biomass drying and gasification. Start-up is expected in June 2028. No separate valve contract or confirmed equipment subcontract list is disclosed.
Why it matters
Editorial analysis: Pulp, black liquor, white liquor and steam require separate evaluation of plugging, abrasion, corrosion and thermal cycling.
Relevant toProject owners, EPC contractors and flow-control suppliers
What to watch next
Watch implementation, material grades and supply boundaries; total contract value is not valve-order value.
These are research prompts, not announced tenders or confirmed subsequent developments.
