Abstract:
A screen basket in a top separator for a cellulosic material treatment vessel, the screen basket includes: a cylindrical plate having a vertical joint connecting opposite edges of the plate, rows of slots extending through the plate, and each slot has a curved or chamfered inlet corner edge adjacent an inside surface of the plate and is oblique to a vertical axis of the basket.
Abstract:
A flash tank including: a closed interior chamber; a gas exhaust port coupled to an upper portion of the chamber; a liquid discharge port coupled to a lower portion of the chamber; an inlet nozzle attached to an inlet port of the chamber, wherein the inlet nozzle includes a flow passage, and a movable valve plate in the flow passage, wherein the valve plate has a first position which defines a first throat in the flow passage and a second position which defines a second throat having a smaller cross-sectional area than the first throat.
Abstract:
An insert inlet tube assembly for a flash tank including a sidewall and an insert inlet port has been conceived, the insert inlet tube assembly may comprise: a tubular section configured to be inserted into the inlet port and fixed to the inlet port, and an insert outlet of the tubular section, and inserted into an inlet port of the chamber, wherein the insert inlet tube extends inward of the sidewall and the insert outlet has an elongated cross-sectional shape oriented substantially parallel to a center vertical axis of the flash tank and substantially perpendicular to a radial line of the flash tank, such that the insert outlet is substantially tangential to the sidewall.
