Insight
An integrated kraft mill producing 1,500 TPD in North America was looking to improve and automate its brown stock washing operations. Clean pulp is crucial to have optimized production, and the mill saw the value in being able to monitor the dirtiness of the incoming pulp. This mill wanted to use Nalco Water's Pulp Wash Intelligence to improve this important part of their pulping operations.
Innovation
Nalco Water and the customer partnered to install Pulp Wash Intelligence on all wash lines and integrate it into mill operations. This solution provides a novel technology of total load measurements for better control and optimization of washing stages by using sensors capable of real-time measurement in pulp and liquor process (solids range), along with a novel ability to provide organic and inorganic fractions, as well as a feed-forward control of wash aid and dilution factor.
