particulate boiler air emissions, which are 50% lower than
required by state and EPA regulations and is recognized as the
“Best Available Control Technology”
-
Three Boiler Co-Generation Plant – Consumes 95% of
manufactured wood shavings as fuel to generate 3.1 million
kilowatt hours of clean electricity for the facility, which
is 20% of plant electricity requirements and all plant process
steam requirements
-
Grinders – Convert over 40,000 tons of wood shavings
into fuel for the Co-Generation Plant eliminating the need to
landfill wood waste
-
