MECHANICAL PULPING
MECHANICAL PULPING
A crew of 7 individuals carry out the daily operation of the Pulp Mill in a safe and efficient manner. We run 24/7 every day of the year, with the exception of maintenance shutdowns. There are a total of four crews that work on a rotational basis.
Our areas of responsibility include not only the production of quality TMP pulp, but we provide the following for use mill wide:
Clean Water
Clean Steam
Capture and Re-use of Steam and Water
Compressed Air
Top Notch Effluent Control
Using state of the art technology enables us to run lean. The Control Room Operator uses a computer based operating system. He is in constant radio contact with members of the crew, who are his eyes and ears out in the field. Video cameras to oversee vital areas in the mill, such as the boiler drum level, are required by law.
TMP employees follow a thorough on-the-job training program which is complimented by our computerized Learning System. Other requirements of the TMP Operators are:
Certified Steam Engineers
Certified Transportation of Dangerous Goods
Certified Fork Lift Operators
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS)
First Aid
Initial Fire Response Team
Mill Evacuation
