New Digester Project Includes World Class Technology for Efficient Operations

The current phase of the Irving Pulp & Paper Mill Modernization project is approximately 87% complete. The new equipment and technology is on schedule for commissioning and start-up by March 2016. The project is part of a $450 million modernization – the largest pulp mill investment in Canada since 1993. Operators at the mill are preparing for the new digester equipment with simulation training next month. “We’ve invested in training software very similar to flight simulator technology,” said Rob Wilcox, Senior Electrical Engineer, Irving Pulp and Paper. “The virtual control system simulates the entire process, complete with all of the flows, pressures, and temperatures. We’ve programmed simulations for the digester operator to start-up the digester, fill it with chips, introduce an upset condition, and have him learn how to adjust. This allows us to simulate operation before we are actually able to use the digester itself."

U.S. crude oil stockpiles rose 4.6 million barrels in the week to Sept. 25, the American Petroleum Institute (API) said, well above a modest increase of 100,000 barrels that analysts polled by Reuters had forecast. Investors awaited official weekly inventory figures from the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration (EIA) due later on Wednesday to see if they confirmed the API data.
