Recipient's Legal Name:
CARIBOO PULP AND PAPER
Program Purpose:
The objective/purpose of this project is to fund capital improvements at the Cariboo Pulp & Paper Company pulp mill in Quesnel, British Columbia, by installing one new R8-type chlorine dioxide generator (ClO2), which is methanol-based, and use this new generator instead of the two existing Mathieson chlorine dioxide generators. The main objective of installing a new generator is to obtain chemical efficiency gains, which result in several environmental improvements. A secondary objective is to eliminate sulphur dioxide from the mill site. Sulphur dioxide will be replaced with methanol which has less environmental risk.
