The blow heat recovery systems, more popularly known as “The Black Hole,” is one popular area where the pulp and paper industry has utilized the […]

AV Nackawic is part of a new and innovative group of companies (AV Group), which are focused on producing high-quality dissolving pulp and other products. For dissolving pulp, the pulp reactivity in the subsequent converting process is an important parameter, which ultimately determines the quality of the product. This internship will investigate the solutions to […]

AV Cell, located in Atholville, New Brunswick, produces high-quality specialty cellulose (dissolving pulp). As an integral part of the manufacturing process, it operates a modern internal circulation (IC) anaerobic reactor system that handles the mill effluent while producing bio-gas that feeds to the boiler. The objective of the project is to enhance the performance of […]

AV Nackawic is part of a new and innovative group of companies (AV Group), which are focused on producing specialty pulp products to service the textile and paper industry. The pulp produced is the raw material for the rayon production process, where reactivity of pulp is an important parameter determining the quality of the product. […]

AV Nackawic has experienced significant variations in the quality of its final product, including, pulp viscosity. There are many variables, both quality parameters of raw materials such as, wood species, chip size, and process conditions such as P- factor, EA, H-factor, play a key role in the overall quality of the final product. Due to […]
