High-Rate Anaerobic Treatment as a Clean Condensate Alternative?, 2003 Environmental Conference Proceedings

High-rate anaerobic treatment has proven to be a reliable method to remove methanol from foul condensates. The same process can be applied to remove methanol from lower strength condensates. Depending on a number of other factors, high-rate anaerobic treatment can be an alternative to hooding and venting brown stock washers.

Smurfit-Stone was interested in studying the possibility of anaerobic treatment of condensates prior to reuse in their brown stock washers. To test the feasibility an IC pilot plant with an effective reactor volume of 60 liters was brought on-site.

The main goals of the study were:

  • Determine methanol removal rates at the projected organic and hydraulic loading rate
  • Determine if the effluent is of such a quality that it can be reused
  • Determine stability of the system under dynamic conditions
  • Obtain parameters for sizing a full-scale system
