The Yeomans’ Period (1966–1967) Dr Hendrik van Eck, Chairman of the Saiccor Board, turning on the switch in the pumphouse at the opening of the submarine effluent pipeline, 10 March 1967 consequently progress on all was painfully slow� The project had become a disaster and a public embarrassment� The Saiccor Board considered dismissing Collins but was not convinced anyone else could do any better� The Saiccor pipeline was finally completed in early March 1967, and was started at a grand opening ceremony attended by Dr van Eck and the Saiccor Board� Paddy Brannigan noted in the Factory Report that ‘The commissioning of the effluent pipeline on 10 March 1967 was a great success and has eliminated our foam problem�’ From the end of 1965 to 1967 pulp quality deteriorated, particularly with respect to trash levels (i�e� ash)� Annual average figures were: ASH (ppm) BLOCKAGE CONSTANTS Sheet Flock Sheet Flock Total Si CaO Total Si CaO 1965 914 54 661 1625 70 692 20 24 1966 1043 59 699 1972 93 806 25 31 1967 1168 78 807 2235 146 935 24 31 The one improvement to quality was the installation of densification presses (from Farrel) on No 1 continua in November 1966, followed a month later on No 2 continua� This stopped sheets floating in caustic soda in the viscose factories� 61
The First Fifty Years Courtaulds complained about the quality of Saiccor pulp� Fred Aldred believed the local management was at fault in that Yeomans was not technical and Reed was more interested in production and expansion projects� Aldred informed Kearton of his opinion� Yeomans was transferred back to Courtaulds at the end of August 1967, and was replaced by John Wharton, the Technical Manager at Courtaulds’ viscose plant at Mobile, Alabama� Ken Reed was made Technical Director (a Courtaulds nominee), relinquishing his responsibility for running the factory� In October 1967, D R B Mynors resigned from the Board, and was replaced by F C Aldred� 62
