According to a report this past week by CFJC Today, Kamploops, B.C., Canada, one of the city's big industries delivered some good news to the Kamloops City Council on Tuesday, February 23.
Domtar said at the meeting it has reduced particulate emissions at the Mission Flats pulp mill (photo below) by 68% over the past seven years.
The company said in its report that it has spent $35 million dollars over that time to utilize new technology to keep particulate emissions as low as they can be. Some of the improvements are the result of the shutdown in 2013 of the sawdust pulp line, which has allowed the company to eliminate some old equipment that was part of the problem.
The report doesn't talk about the total amount of emissions from the mill, or the volumes that the reductions represent.
