Technology
|
|
The mills at Claiborne
represent the very latest in environmental and process technologies. This
allows us to make a better product without compromising the environment.
Alabama River's softwood and hardwood pulping operations utilize a number
of process innovations - oxygen delignification, improved washing, and
elemental chlorine-free bleaching. Advanced environmental control
systems include an oxygen-activated sludge effluent treatment process, one
of the most modern and efficient facilities in the U.S., and highly
advanced emission control equipment, including large low-odor recovery
boilers, power boilers with electrostatic precipitators, scrubbers and NGC
collection equipment and a specially designed stand-by incinerator.
The mill processes utilize all wood waste for fuel, water conservation and
re-use features, and feature extensive recovery and reuse of process
chemicals.
