NORSKE SKOG PLANS NEW RECYCLING PLANT

Norske Skog is to build a deinking plant for waste paper at its newsprint mill at Skogn, Norway. The construction work is scheduled to begin in the autumn of 1998, and is expected to last 18 months. The recycling facility will be significantly larger than was originally planned, and will require investments amounting to just under NKr500 million. The plant will be capable of processing approximately 170 000 tonnes of waste paper per year. The de-inking process removes the printing ink from the printed matter, allowing the wood fibres to be reused to make paper. During 1997, Norske Skog Skogn completed investments totalling around NKr300 million in a new waste treatment plant and biofuel boiler, which are required to treat discharges and waste from the de-inking plant. During the first quarter of 1999, Norske Skog will complete a waste paper recycling plant and a new paper machine at Golbey, France.
PAPER MILLS ACT TO CONTROL AIR POLLUTION Environmental Elements Corporation (EEC) has announced contacts to supply two pulp and paper mills with air pollution control equipment. The two contracts will add nearly US$3 million to the company's backlog. For the first project, located in Canada, EEC will design and supply an electrostatic precipitator, in anticipation of a future bubbling fluid bed power boiler

conversion. This fluid bed technology is emerging as a preferred application within the pulp and paper industry, to address the need to burn multiple fuels in the power generation process. The second contact is for the engineer and supply of an electrostatic precipitator for a paper mill in central USA. This contract is the second received by EEC from this mill in the last two years. The pulp and paper company recently contracted with EEC to supply a new recovery boiler. This project is in its final stages and is scheduled for start-up in the spring of 1998.
US$60 MILLION FOR PROJECTS IN PENNSYLVANIA
Authority's total funding for community water and sewer projects to US$1.9 billion since the program's inception in 1988.
UNITED WATER TO CONSTRUCT ULTRAFILTRATION PLANT United Water Resources has announced that its affiliate, United Water Services, has signed an agreement for the design, construction and operation of an ultrafiltration water treatment plant, near San Antonio, Texas, USA. The facility will be provided for Bexar Metropolitan Development Corporation (BMDC), which will provide finance and own the plant. The new plant would be part of a US$30 million agreement between United Water and BMDC. According to David Sherman, president of United Water Services, the new ultrafiltration facility could be operating by December 1999. Sherman pointed out that advantages of incorporating the new ultrafiltration technology include less time and money spent constructing the plant. BMDC will also construct a six-mile pipeline to supply the west side of San Antonio with drinking water from the new plant.
The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority has approved grants and loans worth more than US$60 million, for 27 waterrelated projects across the state. US$59.4 million in low interest loans and US$1.3 million in grants is available for the drinking water, waste water and stormwater projects. The projects include a US$4 million treatment plant, with a capacity of more than 3 million gallons-per-day, in Adams BRAZIL GETS County, and a US$2.5 million FINANCE TO sludge handling facility at a treatment works in Beaver IMPROVE WATER County.

Total project costs are estimated at US$300 million. The Overseas Economic Development Fund is providing US$105 million, and Water Utilities is providing US$45 million, in addition to the World Bank loan.
GAS SUPPLY PLANT OPENS IN BRAZIL Air Products Gases Industriais Ltda, a wholly-owned company of Air Products and Chemicals Inc, has brought a new hydrogen and carbon monoxide production facility on-stream, in Bahia, Brazil. The new production facility, in the Camacari petrochemical complex, will supply a variety of petrochemical customers in the area, with 25 million standard cubic feet per day of the two gases. A major portion of the hydrogen, carbon monoxide and steam capacity is being supplied to ISOPOL's toluene diisocyanate facility, a joint venture of Dow Quimica and Pronor Petroquimica. Hydrogen and steam are also being supplied to Nitrocarbono's caprolactam production facility. Additional carbon monoxide and hydrogen are being supplied, via pipeline, to other major petrochemical customers in the area.
