MOSCOW (MRC) -- SunPine AB has awarded Poyry with the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services assignment for SunPine biorefinery expansion project in Pitea, Sweden, as per Hydrocarbonprocessing.
The assignment includes all engineering disciplines, project management services, procurement and construction management services. Poyry has been involved in the study phase of the project and has now the role to further develop the project in accordance with the conditions, standards and procedures of the existing plant to form a single unit. The work will be carried out between 2018 and 2020.
SunPine has a world-leading sustainable bio-refinery, with a portfolio of green products that meet strong demand in the market. The market for SunPine's sustainable tall diesel fuel is growing when consumers are shifting to renewable fuels. Working proactively to develop and grow its operation is part of SunPine's endeavour to participate in the switch to a green economy for society at large. SunPine have decided to invest in a completely new facility adjacent to the company's existing plant at Haraholmen in Pitea. Capacity will be increased by 50 percent with second tall diesel production line. The approximately EUR 25 million investment will be completed in 2020.
"We are meeting an interesting future. Now, together with Poyry, we can realize SunPine's planned biorefinery. Poyry will complement us as our partner in this work and we are looking forward to an interesting and rewarding project," says Ulrika Hagman, project manager for investment at SunPine. "With increased capacity, we can further consolidate SunPine's position as a world-leading, sustainable biorefinery with green products" states Magnus Edin, CEO, SunPine.
"Poyry is proud to contribute in this green economy investment. Our long co-operation with SunPine and deep knowledge of bio-based solutions will lead this project to success. Our strong safety performance ensures that the implementation of the second line can be done when the first line is in production. This assignment further strengthens Poyry's position as a global provider of bio-based solutions," says Jonny Stridh, Managing Director, Industry Business Group, Poyry Sweden.
As MRC reported earlier, in January 2018, Oulun Energia Oy awarded Poyry with the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management services for the new Laanila Bio Power Plant project in Oulu, Finland.
