West Linn Paper Invests $3M in Capital Improvements

The second of the planned projects will provide cleaner whitewater that will better enable reuse throughout the mill and reduce associated heat loss to the effluent. This project is expected to reduce fuel costs and has the potential to reduce effluent flows by as much as 20 percent.

The bulk of the work is scheduled for the second quarter of 2012, requiring a machine outage of less than a week. West Linn Paper does not expect the minimal down time required to affect customer shipments.
