Manufactured Wood Products

As we all know, the forestry industry has had a rollercoaster ride since the turn of the millenium. Following the wood products manufacturing boom of 2003 and 2004, the industry is facing tremendous pressure to streamline operations, optimize production, and reduce costs across the board. With plant closures and lost jobs resulting, there is a great deal at stake. Now, more than ever, our clients in the forestry industry count on us to ensure maximum efficiency and availability of their energy generation assets. In many cases, the thermal oil heaters and boilers that provide the vital energy needed to run the plant are taken for granted. It is truly the heart of production. Like human beings, we tend to ignore our hearts until something goes wrong with it.

If there is one thing we can count on, it is the dedication and resiliency of this industry. We firmly believe that the forestry industry will not only recover, but thrive once again with the innovations and inspirations of its people and allied suppliers like Atlantic Combustion Technologies.

As slag builds up in your furnace, a great many adverse results occur, ultimately resulting in significant increases in operating costs. In our experience, these costs are often much higher than realized by our clients until the problem is removed. Since slag build-up initiates a "domino-effect" of problems, costs go beyond furnace cleaning into costs such as repairs, wear and tear, safety, reliability and production.

With a little help from us, we will show you why this problem occurs, and how to solve it.
