SAPPI PAPERS OVER BAD ODOURS

PULP and paper producer Sappi has invested R58m to reduce dust and bad odours emitted from its coal-fired boiler at the Ngodwana mill near Nelspruit. Sappi said the company allocated R22m earlier this year to upgrade dust removal equipment at Ngodwana and cut dust and the rotten egg smell by 60%. Sappi allocated a further R36m this month to reduce the company’s impact on the environment. The project would be completed by the middle of next year. – African Eye News Service
