Valmet will deliver solids measurements and Valmet Sludge Dewatering Optimizer to Águas do Tejo Atlântico in Alcantara, Lisbon, Portugal. The optimization, together with reliable solids measurements use, aims at improving the plant's energy and environmental efficiency. The order was placed by Valmet’s local partner Tecnilab Portugal SA, the official distributor for Valmet's wastewater solutions and services in Portugal.

The order was included in Valmet's orders received for the first quarter of 2022. The value of the order will not be disclosed. The delivery takes place during the first half of 2022.

“Our mission is to operate and manage the multi-municipal wastewater sanitation system of Greater Lisbon and Western Portugal, ensuring the quality, continuity, and efficiency of the public wastewater services. This solution will support our efficiency targets with sludge dewatering by increasing the dry content and decreasing the use of polymers,” says Paulo Inocêncio, Responsible for Strategic Studies of the Asset Management Department.

"Reliable solids measurements enable accurate monitoring of the sludge dewatering process and provide valuable process data.

The geopolitical situation caused by the crisis in Ukraine and the intensified COVID-19 restrictions in China have reduced the orders at the valve factory in Helsinki, Finland, during spring. The exceptional situation has particularly impacted the factory’s oil and gas projects. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in China also continues to cause challenges related to component availability and logistics.

To adjust production capacity to match the reduced workload at the valve factory in Helsinki, Valmet is initiating personnel negotiations on potential temporary layoffs on May 25, 2022.

The employees within the scope of the negotiations are those in the Flow Control business line’s valve production and related operations in Helsinki, excluding the positioner production unit. The layoffs will be temporary and are estimated to last a maximum of 90 days. The negotiations involve around 340 employees.

Valmet employs about 6,200 people in Finland, about 830 of the employees are in the Flow Control business line.
