Résumé
The objective/purpose of this Project is to fund capital improvements at the West Fraser Mills Ltd. Quesnel River Pulp Division that will include the purchase and installation of heat exchangers, piping, pumps and instrumentation. The Project will enable the Proponent to capture more heat energy from the effluent stream and increase temperature of the fresh water entering the mill. This will reduce the amount of thermal energy required in the drying process, therefore reducing the amount of natural gas consumption in the pulp drying stage. In addition, the Proponent expects some minor chemical savings associated with the reduced defoamer usage in the effluent treatment system by improving cooling of the water.

Program Purpose (French)
L'objectif de ce projet est de financer des travaux d'amélioration aux immobilisations de la division Quesnel River Pulp de la société West Fraser Mills Ltd qui comprendra l'achat et l'installation d'échangeurs de chaleur, de tuyauterie, de pompes et d'instrumentation. Le projet permettra au promoteur de capter plus d'énergie thermique à partir des eaux usées et d'augmenter la température de l'eau douce entrant dans l'usine. Ceci permettra de réduire la quantité d'énergie thermique nécessaire au processus de séchage, réduisant ainsi la consommation de gaz naturel. Le promoteur prévoit faire des économies au niveau des produits chimiques nécessaires au système de traitement des effluents, et ce en améliorant le refroidissement de l'eau.
