Olin Mathieson Begins Multi-Million
Dollar Expansion For Waste Control
This Research
Started Some
15 Years Ago
Installation of heavy equip
ment representing the first
stage of a multi-million dol
lar effluent control system has
been started here by the Ecu
sta Paper Division of Olin
Mathieson Chemical corpora
tion.
The system will represent an
investment of $3,000,000, one
third of which already has been
spent in research and develop
ment leading up to the modifi
cation of the equipment to han
dle the type of pulp produced
at Ecusta and the effluent re
sulting from Ecusta’s pulping
process.
The equipment now being
installed includes two large
screw presses, called Pressa
finers, which separate flax
fiber from the liquid in which
it is “cooked” or processed,
and screens, chests, pumps
and material handling equip
ment.
State Committee Cooperated
In announcing the installa
tion, Arthur J. Loeb, vice presi
dent of Olin and general mana
ger of the division, said:
“These facilities are the re
sult of many years of inten
sive research and develop
ment effort here at Pisgah
Forest. Ecusta has been most
fortunate in having had the
cooperation and counsel of
the North Carolina State
Stream Sanitation Committee
in planning this installation.
The committee is one of the
n.ost progressive and effective
groups in this field in the en
tire country. We are pleased
that the committee has ap
proved our plans for this in
stallation as part of this state’s
comprehensive program to im
prove the water quality of
North Carolina streams.”
The need for effluent control
has arisen as operations at Pis
