Carbon Capture Storage
We delivered columns and heat exchangers to Statoil Mongstad, the world's first full-size CCS site in 2009. The choice of material is critical for this demanding application.
PULP & PAPER
The Swedish pulp and paper industry is among the most effecient in the world. A condition for competing with low-cost countries is efficiently automated mills with few maintenance stops.
E&S is supporting our customers with support and process analysis to shorten and minimise such stops. A team of our support staff has assisted Södra Cell in Mörrum.
Back flushing for decreased fouling:
A number of paper mills in Sweden have installed the Ekström backflush valve and have decreased the maintenance stop interval from 6 months to more than 2 years. Read more at Smart Loop backspolningsventiler
