The HPD evaporation system is designed to process weak black liquor to 80% total solids and will utilize falling film technology. A switching system used above critical solids will provide for a continuous wash of one of the four first-effect concentrator bodies. The system is designed to minimize total steam and power usage, as well as minimize boil-out requirements while maintaining high, on-stream delivery of 80% liquor to the boiler.
The equipment also includes a foul condensate stripping system, a methanol rectification and handling system, NCG (non-condensable gas) collection, and features a condensate segregation system to allow control of flow, temperature, and quality of water for reuse in the mill. A CRP (Chloride Removal Process) System will also be integrated into the process as an effective technology to remove non-process elements from the recovery cycle while recovering sodium to reduce chemical makeup costs.
