Fortress Paper's co-gen project delayed by second pump failure

摘要

The co-generation facility at Fortress Paper's Thurso, Que., dissolving pulp mill is once again experiencing pump problems. The company reports that the high pressure water pump at its Fortress Specialty Cellulose Mill was re-installed on July 12, allowing the cogeneration facility to operate for 20 days before being shut-down again due to pump failure. The back-up high pressure water pump was then installed on August 5, but "its operation was again unsustainable due to inadequate repairs," says a press release.
