Metso-supplied world’s first commercial LignoBoost plant successfully starts up

In Finland, Metso reports that Domtar has successfully started up a commercial-scale LignoBoost lignin separation plant at its Plymouth, North Carolina mill. This is the first commercial installation of a LignoBoost plant in the world and the technology is supplied by Metso. “The technology has been developed by Innventia in Sweden, in association with Chalmers University of Technology. Metso purchased it and is furthering the development. We continue to work together to refine the technology to develop new lignin applications in partnership for current and future customers,” says Gene Christiansen, Senior Manager, Business Development Innovations at Metso’s Power business line for North America.
