Environmental Synergies

We resolved an air quality issue at Powell River by diverting salt-laden woodwaste to Elk Falls, as its wet electrostatic precipitator minimizes particulate emissions. Conversely, woodwaste with a higher moisture content but less salt content from Elk Falls is now burned in the fluidized-bed boiler at Powell River. As a result, we have reduced the consumption of natural gas at each location, lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
