This plant, fueled by bark and wood residuals, produces treated wood for lumber.
The major heat source for the processes at the facility is a 225 mmBtu/hr four-cell Wellons furnace. The furnace is fired by bark and wood residuals. Additional burners are being added to burn Landfill Gas (LFG). There is also a 40 mmBtu/hr back-up thermal oil heater at the facility.
This is a major amendment which allows for the construction and use of a pipeline from Crow Wing County Landfill to the facility in order to supply Landfill Gas to be used as an additional fuel for the dryers. This requires the addition of an additional burner in each Dust/Gas Burner to burn LFG only. The anticipated maximum supply of LFG is 16mmBtu/hr from the landfill.
Pollutants that will increase with LFG usage are SO2 and VOCs.
