Evaporator Rebuilds for Increased Capacity and Condensate Segregation, 1992 Engineering Conference Proceedings
The emphasis placed on improving the environmental efficiency of the pulping industry has impacted the configuration of the multiple effect evaporator plant. The evaporator is one of the largest contributors of BOD and TRS loading to the waste water treatment facilities within a mill. At the same time the evaporator often becomes the bottleneck when a production capacity increase is considered. The upgrading of an existing evaporator plant to increase capacity can be accomplished in conjunction with the implementation of condensate segregation to solve capacity concerns and environmental objectives.
