PRINCE GEORGE — Canfor Pulp has announced an extended outage on one production line at its Northwood Pulp mill in Prince George.
“The outage is to enable the rebuild of the lower furnace of its number one recovery boiler, in order to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the boiler,” reads a statement from Canfor.
The company estimates that the extended downtime will be approximately 85 to 100 days, with a reduction in production of NBSK pulp of 68,000 to 80,000 tonnes and an estimated capital cost of $30 million, as well as higher associated maintenance costs.
Canfor Pulp will continue to operate the second production line over this time period.
