Klabin, Brazil, has awarded Pöyry, Finland, engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) services for a relevant part of the Balance of Plant (BOP) at the Puma Project in Brazil. The scope of work includes the required interconnection between all process EPCs areas, water intake, and effluent outfall systems, cooling tower, central control room, chemicals handling, and other complementary systems.

The state-of-the-art greenfield pulp mill ("Puma Project") is located in Ortigueira, Parana State, in the South of Brazil. Raw material for the mill will be eucalyptus and pinus wood from the company’s own plantations in the surrounding area.

Pöyry has been involved in the project since January 2012 when it was awarded an assignment for environmental studies and basic engineering by Klabin. Pöyry was also awarded a preparatory work for mill infrastructure.
