Project Overview
Neste Jacobs has been selected to provide EPCM services for SunPine's new Tall Oil Rosin production facility in Piteå, Sweden. The facility is scheduled to be operational in the second half of 2015 and will supply rosin to the Lawter facility in Kallo, Belgium.
Production Details
Once operational, the new plant will enable SunPine to produce three distinct products: raw tall diesel, which serves as a feedstock for renewable diesel production; rosin, a raw material used in various derivatives including printing ink and adhesives; and tall oil pitch, an energy product utilized in the paper industry.
Project Management
Neste Jacobs will oversee the project from its offices in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Turku, Finland. The company's expertise in Tall Oil process design is a key factor in their selection for this project.
Strategic Importance
This project is significant for SunPine as it expands their product portfolio and supports employment in the region. The collaboration leverages Neste Jacobs' extensive experience and track record in the biorefining industry, particularly in Tall Oil technology.
