Prince George Pulp Mill Green Transformation Project

The Prince George Mills Green Transformation Project involves the following upgrades:

#1 Power Boiler Precipitator
Installation of a new Electrostatic Precipitator to process the flue gas from the boiler will reduce particulate emissions and thus enable the boiler to run more efficiently, generating more steam from biomass. This steam will be used to generate additional carbon-neutral power from the Prince George Pulp Mill turbo generator. The amount of power we will generate would run roughly 800 typical North American homes for a year. In addition, particulate emissions are expected to be reduced by approximately 70%, resulting in improved air quality in Prince George. Start up is planned for 2012.

Prince George Pulp Mill Boiler Feed Water System
By upgrading the Boiler Feed Water System, this project will significantly reduce boiler blow down rates (from the current average of 8% down to 1.5%) and reduce the volume of water we take from the Nechako river. This will result in an improved energy efficiency and a significant improvement in water quality.
