Best Management Systems at Georgia-Pacific Leaf River Pulp Operations, 1998 Cluster Rule Symposium Proceedings
Georgia-Pacific’s Leaf River Pulp Operations is a 1,700 ton per day bleached market pulp mill that began operation in September 1984. The choice of wastewater treatment was an activated sludge treatment system. To protect the system from upsets due to overloads, a number of black liquor best management systems were installed and have been operated since start-up. These included collection sumps, storage, curbing and diking, instrumentation, and spill diversion. Over time, these systems have been modified and added to in an effort to further reduce upsets. This presentation will examine the systems implemented at the Leaf River Mill and will focus primarily on the equipment and instrumentation that is utilized.
