Ongoing work to get the Old Town mill up and running again took one big step forward last week, with the #5 package boiler started up last week.
According to a post on ND Paper’s Facebook page, the boiler was is the first piece of major operating equipment to run in the mill since it shut down in October 2015.
“Further, the mill will now be self-supplied with heat; up to this point, we’ve relied on portable heat units,” wrote ND Paper.
Plans remain on schedule for the reopening of the Omill this spring. The property was purchased by ND Paper LLC, a subsidiary of Nine Dragons Paper of Hong Kong, in October. Nine Dragons Paper is China’s largest producer of containerboard, which most commonly is used in making cardboard boxes.
