Fibrek Inc., Montreal, Qué., Canada, temporarily shut down its market pulp mill in Saint-Félicien Qué., starting this past Sunday, July 29, to carry out repairs on the electrostatic precipitator. The shutdown is expected to last about one week, and is being taken, the mill notes, to avoid excessive particulate emissions into the atmosphere
"We will spare no effort to ensure that Fibrek's operations achieve the same environmental performance as those of Resolute Forest Products," said Richard Garneau, president and CEO of Fibrek and Resolute Forest Products Inc.
