Emerson Process Management has helped Celulosa Arauco strengthen its world-class pulp supply capability by digitally integrating the world’s largest “smart” pulping mill built by the industry leader at Nueva Aldea in central Chile. Digital automation allows mill personnel to readily access more data, allowing for easier calibration and greater mill-wide visibility, efficiency and management.
Combining its expertise and PlantWeb architecture, Emerson digitally automated the entire Smart Mill, resulting in an unusually fast start-up while meeting Arauco’s critical goals of environmental protection and personnel safety, and quality production.
Celulosa Arauco is one of the world’s largest forestry companies measured by plantation area and production of Kraft wood pulp and sawn timber and wood panels. The pulp mill construction project represents an approximate US$850 million capital investment.
