Start-up of the Pulp Dryer at Catawba. The Flakt air float dryer was the first of its type in North American and the 5th installed in the world. The dryer still operates today and is the oldest Flakt air float dryer still in service. The pulp appears to be either very low brite semi-bleach or unbleached.
