Wednesday 15. October 2008 - Metso will supply several control systems and upgrades to the existing automation of Mondi Syktyvkar pulp and paper mill in Russia as a part of an extensive modernization project. The order is included in Metso Automation´s Q3 orders received.

The delivery includes control systems for both hardwood and softwood fiber line digesters and the new white liquor production area for causticizing, condensate plant and the lime kiln. Previously delivered Metso systems, for both fiber lines and the existing causticizing plant and lime kiln, will also be upgraded in addition to extending the control system. The delivery also includes software, project management and engineering, both factory and site testing, installation supervision and start-up assistance.
