A scheduled maintenance outage on one production line at the Northwood Pulp Mill will be extended another 70 to 80 days, Canfor Pulp Products Inc. said this week.
"The outage is to enable necessary tube replacements to its No. 5 recovery boiler to rectify damage discovered during routine preventative maintenance inspections," the company said in a statement issued Monday.
It will reduce production of its Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft pulp by 60,000 to 70,000 tonnes but its second production line will continue to operate, the company added.
"Due to the mitigation efforts by Canfor Pulp, the temporary outage is not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition of the Company," Canfor Pulp added.
