Lignin Demonstration Plant in Operation at AbitibiBowater Thunder Bay Mill

摘要

FPInnovations in partnership with the Centre for Research and Innovation in the Bio Economy (CRIBE), Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) and AbitibiBowater is now producing its first batches of operational lignin for Canadian researchers. The partners plan to develop a world-class black liquor and lignin evaluation center in Thunder Bay, Ontario. At the core is the lignin demonstration plant, a state-of-the-art piece of equipment that ties directly into the black liquor stream of AbitibiBowater's Thunder Bay kraft pulp mill. When fully operational, the demonstration plant will produce up to 100 kg of lignin per day, which will be shipped to a network of R&D labs across Canada that are developing novel uses for wood products.
