Kruger Inc. announced a temporary shutdown for a period of 4 days of its Corner Brook Pulp and Paper mill in Newfoundland, to hook up equipment required for the fall start-up of its cogeneration project.
The temporary shutdown begins June 17th. The installation of the cogeneration equipment, a $29 million-investment, along with downtime related to other capital and improvement projects, resulted in a 12,000 metric ton reduction in newsprint output over the last few months for the Corner Brook Paper Mill.
"These investments will enable us to optimize the use of wood residue for the production of steam and electricity at the Corner Brook mill and are in keeping with Kruger's environmental policy, which favors responsible management of natural resources," said Michel Vachon, Vice-President, Manufacturing. "In accordance with an agreement in principle signed in October 2000 with Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro CBPP will sell them 12 MW of electricity produced by the cogeneration project, helping HYDRO meet its objective of providing cost-effective power generated through technologies that address environmental concerns."Latest from Recycling Today
