The objective/purpose of this Project is to fund capital improvements at the West Fraser Mills Ltd. Quesnel River Pulp Division that will include the purchase and installation of heat exchangers, piping, pumps and instrumentation. The Project will enable the Proponent to capture more heat energy from the effluent stream and increase temperature of the fresh water entering the mill. This will reduce the amount of thermal energy required in the drying process, therefore reducing the amount of natural gas consumption in the pulp drying stage. In addition, the Proponent expects some minor chemical savings associated with the reduced defoamer usage in the effluent treatment system by improving cooling of the water.
