Abstract
A method and system for heating a hydraulic digester, such as a single-vessel hydraulic digester, which has a top separator, a level of chips and a liquid phase above the level of chips. The method includes: a. entraining chips in liquor to produce a slurry having a first temperature, b. feeding the slurry of chips to the digester through the top separator, c. supplying direct steam to the liquid phase between the level of chips and the top separator to heat the slurry to a second temperature for the impregnation stage, wherein the steam is fed by using at least one steam injector having a plurality of steam discharge openings; and d. heating the slurry to a third temperature and cooking the chips in a cooking zone, and withdrawing the cooked pulp from the bottom of the digester.
