The cluster rule, with the magnitude of the required investments, presents a major challenge to chemical pulping mills. For the sulfite industry, the smaller segment with less “industry standard” practices, the uncertainty is even greater about what will be imposed. This paper discusses the current status of the regulatory process, the currently proposed regulations, identifies areas where opportunities exist on a plant level to improve methods of responding to this challenge.
