The
Mackenzie Pulp Mill in British Columbia had to unexpectedly shut down
production on September 30 and it has remained idle since, after a vapor duct
collapsed in its bleaching tower, RISI has learned. Workers at the 235,000
tonnes/yr northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK), unbleached kraft (UKP), and
sawdust pulp mill are now working on repairs. The company is expected to loose
10,500 tonnes of output.
