The objective/purpose of this project is to fund capital improvements at the Tolko Industries Ltd. pulp and paper mill in The Pas, Manitoba, that will replace or modify a number of components on the paper machine vacuum system to increase the forming and press section dewatering capability. The increase dryness will result in reduced steam demand to dry the paper in the dryers, improving energy efficiency and reducing fossil fuel consumption. The diminished reliance on fossil fuels will also reduce the mill's greenhouse gas emissions.
