Description: Having proven that the Alma, Que., mill can be competitive in its primary market of newsprint and directory papers even with 1920s technology based equipment, Abitibi-Price began a C$151 million modernization projects that included a deinking facility, a new wastewater treatment plant including secondary treatment and, most importantly, a modern thermomechanical pulping (TMP) plant which replaced the mill's tandem of groundwood and sulfite pulp mills. With the TMP plant started up in June 1996, Alma now has the fiberline capability to produce better newsprint and directory papers, can meet customer requirements for recycled content in its directory grades, and is meeting both federal and provincial effluent regulations.
