Lincoln Paper Mill to Lay Off 200 Workers Indefinitely Due to Boiler Explosion
About 200 workers will be furloughed from Lincoln Paper and Tissue LLC (in Lincoln, Maine) in response to a recovery boiler explosion last month that hampered the company's ability to make pulp, said company co-owner Keith Van Scotter.
The layoffs affect about half the company's workforce. The laid-off workers attend to the company's two paper machines and pulp-making operations, the areas served by the recovery boiler, which exploded on Nov. 2 when a tube within it leaked water onto a hot smelt bed, creating steam and pressure, Van Scotter said.
