Domsjö Fiber procures all raw materials for the facilities of Domsjö Fabriker and Övik Energi. Its geographic location provides excellent conditions for receiving raw materials delivered by ship, rail, and truck.
The Port of Hörneborg is located directly adjacent to the industrial area and is owned and operated by the municipally owned company Öviks Hamn och Logistik AB.
To optimize sea transport, we collaborate with Domsjö Fabriker by shipping cellulose and lignin on the return voyage to Lübeck, where the cargo is reloaded for further transport to destinations around the world.
Railway tracks are directly connected to the industrial area, providing us with the added transport advantage of receiving raw materials by train.
We use a few external terminals for storage of both pulpwood and biofuel.
All incoming raw material is measured by Biometria, regardless if it is wood or biofuel. Biometria is a national independent timber measuring and reporting association, a fusion of former associations VMF and SDC.
The wood is measured in solid cubic metres under bark (scbm) by weighing and by atomatized camera measuring.
The biofuel is measured in scbm or tonnes, after which the conversion to MWh is made on the basis of measured moisture content, ash content and energy calculation keys.
A sampling method is used to make the measurement rational and accurate.
