Description (French)
La Crete Sawmills met en place un nouveau procédé permettant de convertir l'écorce, qui représente un flux de déchets important, en énergie utile. Il s’agit d’un projet d’amélioration des procédés en plaçant un brûleur avancé à biomasse (haute efficacité) à la pointe de la technologie dans la production de Sawmills. Le nouveau brûleur est de 20MM BTU et il permettra d’utiliser l’écorce comme combustible. L'écorce est traditionnellement un déchet en raison de sa forte teneur en humidité.
