Optieng collaborated in the preparation phase of the Celbi cellulose project at the Figueira da Foz plant, which is to increase production for the 750 thousand tons of pulp per year by 2017, investing 30 million euros.
The work developed, for about 3 months, was consulting in the area of control systems, through our represented Metso Automation. The main tasks were the integration of a new pulp sieve, changes in the chip line and the drying machine, and the introduction of a new feed water pump in the recovery boiler, which includes changes in the control system and security system.
During the general shutdown and subsequent plant start-up, integrated support was provided to Celbi's systems team to ensure all production requirements.
