With the completion of the 35 million CDN dollar conversion of the AV Nackawic mill from paper pulp to dissolving pulp in January 2008, production will ramp up to a rate of 540 ADMT/day over a three month period.
Further optimization projects will increase production levels to 600 ADMT/day, taking the annual capacity to 210,000 ADMT by end of 2008.
In addition, a project has been launched that will leverage bio-refinery technology to overcome recovery boiler limitations and allow an annual production rate of 280,000 ADMT/year during 2009, contingent on securing an adequate wood supply.
Independently, Aditya Birla Group has established a team that is actively involved in identifying and evaluating additional pulp opportunities to support their Viscose Staple Fibre capacity expansion plans worldwide.
The scope of the search includes North America, Russia and other Western countries and following a final review of the opportunities appropriate decisions are expected to be taken in the next few months.
