摘要:
A multi-stage pressure diffuser is provided for treating paper pulp or similar comminuted cellulosic fibrous material. Two different subvolumes are defined within the annular screen of the pressure diffuser by a tubular baffle hung from adjacent the top of the vessel, and a transverse wall near the middle of the vessel. Wash liquid is introduced into the top stage, extracted liquid passes through the bottom of the baffle, and is removed through a liquid outlet at the top of the vessel. That removed liquid is then reintroduced into the bottom stage as wash liquid, and the extracted liquid from the bottom stage is discharged from the vessel at the bottom. The screen assembly may be blanked at the area of the transverse wall dividing the subvolumes from each other, in order to minimize the possibility of mixing of the extraction flows in the different stages.

In a paper pulp treating vessel, such as a pulp thickener or diffuser, the screens are backflushed by reciprocating an internal piston utilizing an internally mounted hydraulic cylinder. The screens are supported by conduit arms having a central hub, and the hydraulic cylinder is mounted directly on top of the hub, with the backflushing cylinder mounted below the hub. Hydraulic lines lead from exteriorly of the vessel to the hydraulic cylinder within the vessel, and a sealing conduit is mounted surrounding the hydraulic lines. The sealing conduit extends to a point above the top of the vessel to act as an indicator if hydraulic fluid leaks in the vessel. A flexible bellows is connected between the sealing conduit and the hydraulic cylinder to allow tilting action between the arms and the top of the vessel.

A method for washing pulp in a batch digester modified pulping process wherein black cooking liquor used for cooking the chips is partially displaced by pumping a first stage wash effluent into the bottom of the digester, additional amounts of the cooking liquor are displaced by pumping a second stage wash effluent, and so on, until sufficient increments of wash effluent have been pumped to displace the cooking liquor. A wash filtrate water is then pumped into the digester from a final pulp washing operation to displace the hot black liquor until all of the hot black liquor is sent to an accumulator, and the various wash effluents have been replenished in their respective stages.
摘要:
A pressure diffuser includes in a liquid-tight pressurized vessel a vertical screen and which screen and vessel wall define first and second interior volumes for transmitting pulp from a pulp inlet to a pulp outlet and receiving displacement (e.g. wash or bleach) liquid transmitted from headers through the pulp. The screen ends have different cross-sectional areas, and quick movement of the screen effects backflushing. The volumes are segregated by a vertical, generally cylindrical, screen. A chamber is provided in communication on opposite sides of a piston therein with the pulp adjacent the pulp inlet and the extracted liquid. By displacing the piston immediately prior to rapidly moving the screen vertically to effect backflushing through the screen, the pulp pressure on the screen is being reduced and at the same time a volume is made available adjacent the pulp inlet in the chamber thus avoiding pressure shocks and compaction of the pulp adjacent the inlet caused by the movement of the screen.
摘要:
Pulp washing efficiency at any given dilution factor and production rate is maximized by controlling washing surface speed in response to determination of total mass of product stream in weight per unit area on the surface and simultaneously controlling the rate of dilution liquid introduction in response to sensing of feed level in the container feeding the surface, thereby to obtain a substantially constant level of pulp in the feed and in the pulp mat formed on the washing surface which is to undergo washing and a substantially constant weight of pulp mat (on a dry pulp basis) per unit area on the washing surface.
摘要:
A pressure diffuser for paper pulp includes a vertical pressurizable liquid-tight vessel having a pulp inlet at the bottom and a pulp outlet at the top. One or more ring shaped screen elements providing first and second concentric screen surfaces, are vertically mounted within the vessel. A number of radially extending header arms mount the screen elements for movement in the vessel and in fluid communication with it. A first linear actuator effects reciprocation of the arms. A cylinder, open at both ends, is affixed to the arms and extends both above and below them, and a piston is disposed within the cylinder, below the arms. A second linear actuator is operatively connected to the piston to effect reciprocation of the piston in the cylinder. A guiding conduit surrounds the open end of the cylinder above the arms and guides reciprocation of the cylinder and transports liquid from the arms to an effluent outlet. A perforated jacket surrounding the guiding conduit, nozzles at the vessel wall, and the like introduce liquid into the vessel for treatment of the pulp. The ring shaped screen element is connected to the arms in a manner to allow the best liquid communication between them. In this way pulp can be effectively treated in a pressurized vessel while the screens for treating the pulp are periodically backflushed without causing a surge within the vessel.
摘要:
A method in connection with continuous pulp cooking to wash the delignified pulp in a vertical, elongated pressure vessel comprising a cooking zone (1), a main washing zone (3) and a conditioning zone (4) at the bottom of the vessel, where the pulp is further washed and optionally diluted and cooled, said cooking zone being separated from said main washing zone by an interruption zone (2), where diluting/washing liquid displaces the cooking liquor, which is drained via one or several interruption circulation screen girdles (5), while contaminated washing liquid in the conditioning zone is displaced by cleaner washing liquid and is drained via one or several bottom screen girdles (10). At least part of that washing liquid which has been drained through the bottom screen girdle/s/ (10) is passed in counter-current to, but not through, the pulp, i.e. not in contact with the pulp, but through at least one separate counter-current conduit (17) up to at least one intermediate screening stage (14) between the interruption zone and the conditioning zone, where it enters the pulp centrally and spreads outwards to displace contaminated diluting/washing liquid, which is drained through one or several intermediate screen girdles (15).

摘要:
A method and apparatus for effecting washing, bleaching, or thickening, etcetera of paper pulp or the like utilizes stationary screens, yet provides efficient treatment without significant screen clogging. Pulp introduced into the bottom of a cylindrical upright vessel is caused to flow in particular radial segments and channels. Introduction of pulp into all channels of a particular radial segment, extraction of withdrawn liquid from the radial segments, removal of treated pulp from the top of the vessel, and the introduction of treating liquid between the stationary screens, are coordinated so that uniform treatment of the upwardly flowing pulp results.
摘要:
In washing paper pulp or similar fibrous suspension the suspension is moved intermittently vertically through a column. In the dwell periods, washing liquid is forced through the fibrous suspension, and the resulting ''''extract'''' removed, in a generally horizontal direction through perforate screening members forming portions of the column.
