Sdra pulp mill receives 21m green injection

Sdra has invested 21.1m (SKr300m) in two environmental improvements at its Mrrums Bruk pulp mill.

One is a treatment plant for water discharges and the other a steam boiler. The plant uses the multibio treatment system, where bacteria consumes pollutants in several stages before leaving the mill with the water waste. It will reduce the discharge of harmful CODs, or chemically oxygen consuming substances, by 60%.

The steam boiler was built using the mills old unused recovery boiler and is fuelled by surplus bark from the production process. Existing electrostatic precipitators have been reconstructed to reduce the impact of dust discharge.

Mrrums Bruk employs more than 400 staff.
