Pöyry awarded EPCM services assignment by Millar Western for bioenergy project at Whitecourt pulp mill in Alberta, Canada

PÖYRY PLC    Press release 21 July 2014 at 10 am (EEST). Millar Western Forest Products Ltd. has awarded Pöyry with the assignment for EPCM (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management) services for an anaerobic bioenergy project at its Whitecourt pulp mill in Alberta, Canada. The project involves integration of anaerobic hybrid digesters into the pulp mill's existing aerobic effluent treatment system. Recovered organic material will be converted to biogas, used to fuel two reciprocating engines that will produce up to 6 megawatts of renewable green power for use by the mill itself. Recovered heat of engine exhaust gas will be used in pulp drying to reduce the use of natural gas. Pöyry's scope of work comprises typical EPCM services such as project management and scheduling, overall engineering management and detail design services, procurement and contract administration, cost control, construction management and co-ordination of the commissioning activities. The planned startup of the plant is August 2015. "This project is a good example of utilising innovative technology in a smart way to convert organic waste material to renewable energy. It is also an important EPCM reference for Pöyry in North America" says Ari Asikainen, President of Pöyry's Regional Operations North America. The value of the order is not disclosed. The order will be recognised within the Regional Operations Business Line order stock in Q3/2014. PÖYRY PLC Additional information by: Ari AsikainenPresident, Regional Operations North America+1 514 341 3221 Zennie LamarreDirector, Business Development, Canada + 1 514 341 3221 Pöyry is an international consulting and engineering company.
