Lime Kiln Operators at Billerud Gruv\u00f6n Ready to Break Production Records \ud83c\udf1f<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

A successful commissioning is about more than just technology \u2013 it\u2019s about thoughtful planning, meticulous preparation, and strong collaboration between customer and supplier. On September 15\u201318, 2025, we at Optimation commissioned our control concept for lime kilns at Billerud Gruv\u00f6n \u2013 a smooth, uneventful startup that was the result of a close partnership from the feasibility study all the way to commissioning.<\/p>\n

During the implementation of our new control system, we were met with curiosity and strong engagement from the operators at Billerud Gruv\u00f6n. This is a sign of a strong company culture and an understanding that the right technology does not replace operator expertise, but reinforces it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

The project has now been delivered and approved, and we are already seeing clear improvements:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 9% reduction in energy consumption.<\/li>\n
  • Stable temperatures on both the lime and flue gas sides, with optimal residual carbonate levels.<\/li>\n
  • Robust control performance that can handle disturbances, such as a 50-degree drop in lime temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The lime kiln will more or less run itself with the supervisory control system. When the complex regulation is handled automatically, the operators\u2019 expertise can instead be used to identify and eliminate what we call \u201ccontrol deficiency costs\u201d \u2013 a direct gain for profitability. This is exactly how digitalization creates value: by combining technology and people.<\/p>\n

    Next stop for Optimation is Nordic Paper in B\u00e4ckhammar, where we plan to commission another lime kiln control system during Q1 2026. Don\u2019t hesitate to contact us to learn more about how our lime kiln control concept can support your operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3971,"parent":0,"template":"","tags":[],"cases_category":[],"class_list":["post-3977","cases_slug","type-cases_slug","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAdvanced lime kiln control for Billerud Gruv\u00f6n - Optimation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/optimation.se\/en\/cases\/advanced-lime-kiln-control-for-billerud-gruvon\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Advanced lime kiln control for Billerud Gruv\u00f6n - Optimation\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Lime Kiln Operators at Billerud Gruv\u00f6n Ready to Break Production Records \ud83c\udf1f A successful commissioning is about more than just technology \u2013 it\u2019s about thoughtful planning, meticulous preparation, and strong collaboration between customer and supplier.
