In late October, Rentech Inc. announced the startup of its Atikokan wood pellet facility. Commissioning and startup of the Wawa facility was expected to begin before the end of the year. All major equipment at the Wawa facility was in place in October, and certain critical items, including the drying system, bark furnace and both log cranes were commissioned and operational at that time.
“I’m pleased to reach this important milestone at the Atikokan facility. Our Canadian team has done a superb job managing the construction of Rentech’s first two pellet plants, through one of the worst winters on record. We are excited about beginning operations and bringing jobs back to these communities,” said Sean Ebnet, senior vice president of Rentech’s wood fiber business.

Rentech noted delays in deliveries by certain vendors prolonged construction and startup of the two Canadian plants. The first shipment of pellets to Drax is expected to occur during the second quarter.
