Canfor Pulp Products announced an extended outage on one production line at the Northwood Pulp Mill in Prince George.
According to Canfor, the outage is to enable the rebuild of the lower furnace of its number one recovery boiler, in order to ensure its safe and reliable operation.
The company currently estimates the extended downtime will be approximately 85 to 100 days, with a reduction in production of 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 at the Northwood Pulp mill over this period.
