being conSidered by many Canadian forestry companies. In this internship sponsored by the
MITACS Accelerate program, for approximately 4 months of the 8 month internship period,
Cedric Diffo will conduct an internship with West Fraser Timber Company and FPlnnovations
in order to better define issues related to product design and the lignin-based biorefinery. At
the West Fraser mill in Hinton Alberta, Cedric will evaluate the existing process as well as
product-process biorefinery opportunities. At FPlnnovations, Cedric will assist in the
operation of the lignin preCipitation pilot plant.
