Metso supplies power boiler to SAICA in Spain

HELSINKI, July 30, 2009 (Market Wire) - Metso will supply a power boiler to S.A Industrias Celulosa Aragonesa's (SAICA) new waste-to-energy power plant at Zaragoza in Spain. Start-up for the plant is scheduled for the third quarter of 2011. The value of this order is approximately Euro 50 million. The order is included in Energy and Environmental Technology's Q3 orders reveiced.

The power boiler will be a 150 MW (thermal capacity) multi-fuel boiler using Metso's circulating fluidized bed technology and high-performance flue gas cleaning system, giving the new plant very high environmental performance. With this investment SAICA will minimize their landfill operations and instead recycle their paper mill waste into electrical power.
