Process experience, good pilot plant test facilities, innovative deinking line equipment and system simulation
capability are required to deliver an optimum deinking system.
This paper presents equipment performance data for a new pulping rotor design as well as a new 5-stage air flotation cell for "ink" removal. High consistency (3.5-4.0%) screening data are also presented.
Process simulation is demonstrated as a computer aided design tool. Spreadsheet input/output and a new graphical user interface are applied to an actual deinking line design.
