The company that purchased the defunct Prince Albert pulp mill in 2011 says it plans to restart the facility as early as 2023.
Paper Excellence announced Friday it has spent more than $600,000 on engineering and consulting work for new equipment at the site and to evaluate existing equipment that will be refurbished.
“We plan to replace the entire fibre line from the digester to the last bleaching stage. This will replace the heart of the mill and let us take full advantage of the existing recovery boiler which is one of the most modern in Canada,” Carlo Dal Monte, vice-president of energy and business development at Paper Excellence, said in a media release.
