Valmet Analyzers Support Luzhou Yongfeng in Achieving Quality Gains and One-Year Payback

Valmet’s advanced analyzer technologies have enabled Luzhou Yongfeng Pulp and Paper to improve product quality and operational profitability, with the company reporting full payback on its investment within one year, according to information published by Valmet.

The Chinese producer implemented Valmet’s online analyzers as part of efforts to enhance process control and optimize production efficiency. The deployment focused on improving measurement accuracy and real-time monitoring across key stages of pulp and paper manufacturing.

By integrating the analyzers into its operations, Luzhou Yongfeng achieved more stable production conditions and improved consistency in product quality. The system also supported reduced raw material variability and better control of chemical usage, contributing to overall cost efficiency.

According to the report, the improved process visibility allowed operators to make faster and more informed adjustments, minimizing deviations and reducing waste. These gains translated into measurable financial benefits, enabling the company to recover its investment within a year of implementation.

The case highlights the role of advanced process analytics in modern pulp and paper manufacturing, where tighter quality requirements and cost pressures are driving adoption of automation and digital monitoring technologies.

Valmet’s analyzer solutions are designed to provide continuous, real-time data to support decision-making and process optimization in industrial environments. The Luzhou Yongfeng project demonstrates how such technologies can deliver both operational and economic outcomes when applied at scale.
