Summary
The objective of the project is to employ innovative anaerobic hybrid digester (AHD) technology to improve effluent treatment and generate bioenergy as an alternative to fossil fuels. Specifically, the AHD technology will produce a methane-rich biogas from the pulp mill effluent to fire reciprocating engines in a power station to co-generate electricity and heat, replacing fossil-fuel-derived electricity and natural gas in mill processes. Excess biogas will directly replace natural gas in mill processes, and hydrogen sulphide scrubbed from the biogas stream will be converted to sulfuric acid for mill use.

Program Purpose (French)
Le projet vise à utiliser la technologie innovatrice du biodigesteur hybride anaérobie pour améliorer le traitement des effluents et produire de la bioénergie comme solution de rechange aux combustibles fossiles. Plus précisément, la technologie du biodigesteur hybride anaérobie produira du biogaz riche en méthane à partir des effluents de l'usine de pâte pour alimenter les moteurs à piston d'une centrale, assurer la cogénération d'électricité et de chaleur et ainsi remplacer l'électricité dérivée de carburants fossiles et le gaz naturel utilisés dans les procédés. Le biogaz excédentaire se substituera directement au gaz naturel dans ces procédés, et le sulfure d'hydrogène récupéré du flux de biogaz sera converti en acide sulfurique aux fins d'utilisation par l'usine.
