Metso supplies power boiler to SAICA in Spain

HELSINKI, FINLAND, Jul 30 (MARKET WIRE) --

Metso Corporation's company release on July 30, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. local
time

Metso will supply a power boiler to S.A Industrias Celulosa Aragonesa's
(SAICA) new waste-to-energy power plant at Zaragoza in Spain. Start-up
for the plant is scheduled for the third quarter of 2011. The value of
this order is approximately EUR 50 million. The order is included in
Energy and Environmental Technology's Q3 orders reveiced.

The power boiler will be a 150 MW (thermal capacity) multi-fuel boiler
using Metso's circulating fluidized bed technology and high-performance
flue gas cleaning system, giving the new plant very high environmental
performance. With this investment SAICA will minimize their landfill
operations and instead recycle their paper mill waste into electrical
power.

SAICA is Spain's largest paper producer with a production capacity of 2
million tons/year of corrugated paper. SAICA is also the largest paper
recycler in Spain, using recovered paper for papermaking. At present the
company recycles 2.2 million tons of paper per year which otherwise would
go to dump.

Metso is a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for
mining, construction, power generation, automation, recycling and the
pulp and paper industries. We have about 28,000 employees in more than 50
countries. www.metso.com
