Powering its own production through a bioheating plant
Kerto LVL’s utilises its side streams to extract the highest value: parts of sawdust and wood chips are used as raw materials in pulp production and the rest, such as bark and other smaller fractions, in producing renewable energy for running the mill.
View project
Bark: a mill by-product replacing fossil fuels
The project consists of two parts: it enables a high amount of bark to be fired in the lime kiln while lowering the energy demand of the lime kiln by increasing heat transfer. The overall goal is to increase the use of internal fuels, thereby eliminating fossil fuels.
