Plant construction in Schwedt Large quantities of pulp and paper are produced in Kemi , in the far north of Finland . Recently , an existing pulp mill in the seaport city was converted into the largest fossil-free , sustainable pulp mill in Europe using BUTTING pipes . The new bioproduct plant focuses on achieving high environmental , energy , and raw material efficiency . Marko Busse , Managing Director of BUTTING Anlagenbau in Schwedt , explains : “ The pulp and paper industry is an important yet challenging industry regarding sustainability because production and environmental protection are often in conflict . However , the modernisation

Plant construction worldwide While BUTTING has built many SCR ( Selective Catalytic Reduction ) catalytic converters for MAN Energy Solutions , at the end of 2023 , a new milestone was the production of a massive Cluster 5 Double Layer . The converters are used in cruise ships and cargo ships to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 90 %. The clusters , ranging in size from 1 to 5 , are produced for both high and lowpressure ranges . The family business relocated its series production for SCR catalytic converters from Knesebeck to Tieling in China at the beginning of 2023 to generate economic benefits for its customers . Engineering and prototype construction is supported by the headquarters . The Cluster 5 Double Layer has a diameter of 3,900 mm and a total weight of 28 metric tonnes . “ We are proud of our team ’ s performance and very confident that the Cluster 5 Double Layer will be a successful product for
BUTTING ’ s main plant in Knesebeck was commissioned to produce this one-off ring burner for an ammonia plant . our customer ,” states Steven Schlabritz , Project Manager at BUTTING .
Plant construction in Knesebeck Recently BUTTING successfully delivered a ring burner – an important component for ammonia production - for its longstanding customer Topsøe . The main plant in Knesebeck was commissioned for the first time to produce this one-off item , which delighted the customer in all respects . With a diameter of 1,200 mm and a length of 3,000 mm , the ring burner is used for the Sohar International Urea & Chemical Industries LLC ( SIUCI ) project in Oman , where hydrogen and nitrogen are converted into ammonia at high temperatures and pressure with the help of a catalyst . The many forming operations and the welding of various temperatureresistant nickel-based alloys proved to be a challenge . Particularly noteworthy are the very sophisticated manual welding operations . Both the machining of the component and the final assembly had to meet tight tolerances . Andreas Kasten , Sales Manager Spools and Plant Construction , states : “ Kudos to our manufacturing team , which has mastered their craft to make such a precise component . Plant Construction at Knesebeck focuses on products with a level of vertical integration that calls for special competencies in material grade technology , as well as extensive skill and expertise regarding approvals and quality assurance .”
