Valmet to deliver biomass boiler and flue gas cleaning system to Saica Group

The order is included in Valmet’s orders received of the second 2Q25. The value of the order will not be disclosed. The boiler plant is scheduled to be handed over to Saica at the end of 2026.

The boiler to be supplied is a Valmet BFB boiler that utilises bubbling fluidised bed (BFB) technology. It is engineered to produce steam with a capacity exceeding 700 000 tpy. By utilising biomass as fuel, the BFB boiler will significantly reduce fossil fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, aligning with Saica's dedication to sustainability and circular economy principles.

“This project is part of Saica Group´s decarbonisation plan, fully aligned with Saica´s values. We rely on Valmet for this project due to their proven technology for biomass BFB boilers, and also because of the cooperation and results achieved in previous projects. We expect this new partnership will bring success to this challenging project,” said Juan Antonio Meler, Industrial Projects Director, Saica Group.

“We are delighted to support Saica in their decarbonisation project. This order underlines the importance of our advanced boiler technology in helping industries to transition towards more sustainable energy solutions,” added Lauri Pehu-Lehtonen, Vice President, Energy and Circularity, Valmet.

Valmet’s scope of delivery includes a Valmet BFB Boiler along with auxiliary equipment and the boiler building, including erection, commissioning, and start up. Additionally, Valmet will provide a flue gas cleaning system featuring a bag house filter.
