Old boiler gets a makeover
Posted on September 11, 2008, 9:09am
A scheduled maintenance shutdown on equipment at the KCA Millicent Mill occurs this weekend.
The large Number Six Boiler will be temporarily out of action for a few days.
The structure is visible from the Tantanoola Access Road and is topped with the sky blue colors and the Kimberly-Clark logo. A large stack stands alongside the boiler .
Since an upgrade 15 years ago, it has had the capability to be fired by woodyard waste and piped natural gas from the Katnook gasfields.
When it was built in the mid-1970s, Number Six Boiler was fired by brown coal briquettes which were railed to the Millicent Mill.
It coincided with the construction of the number three tissue machine and superseded five smaller oil-fired boilers.
Tantanoola Mill manager Bill Beumer said the mill would not be producing any pulp during the boiler maintenance shutdown.
Mr Beumer said the mill would be producing the steam needed by its kindred mill at Millicent.
