SCA
Fully Automated Impregnation Plant
Customer: SCA
Location: Bollstabruk, Sweden
Construction period: 2009–2010
The Challenge
SCA required a modern impregnation facility capable of delivering both efficiency and traceability. The goal was to strengthen production capacity, ensure compliance with industry standards, and reduce the need for manual supervision during operation.
The Solution
We delivered a fully automated impregnation plant with a complete transport system, tailored to SCA’s specific requirements.
The plant was designed in full compliance with applicable standards and directives, ensuring operational safety and process reliability. It can run both Fullcell and Lowry processes and operate unmanned for up to 10 hours.
The facility is supported by an advanced SCADA system for monitoring, control, and reporting, as well as automated SMS alerts to notify staff when the plant runs autonomously during nights and weekends.
The Benefits
With this installation, SCA has achieved:
A high-capacity impregnation plant (95,000 m³ annually)
Full production traceability through automation
Flexible process options with Fullcell and Lowry technologies
Reduced need for continuous on-site staffing with up to 10 hours unmanned operation
Enhanced safety and reliability with SCADA monitoring and SMS alerts
The Result
SCA now operates a future-ready impregnation facility that combines capacity, efficiency, and reliability, positioning the company to meet current demands and adapt to future requirements.
