Abstract

See full text

The multi-stage modular horizontal digester is primarily comprised of a single auger in a horizontal orientation. The single auger includes sections of lesser and greater inner diameter, thus creating sections of that allow for mixing and time to operate on the contents, and sections where the liquids are squeezed out. As compared to the known processing methodology, the multi-stage modular horizontal digester creates numerous benefits. For example, by maintaining elevation of the pulp, it can be directly expelled into the hydrapulper without the need for an additional pump. Processes can be changed quickly by altering the rotation speed, auger sections, or chemical inputs and outputs without the need to move heavy tanks or adjust pumps. In other words, there is no need for the standard cascade-style system where the pulp descends through a step, is raised to the next step, and so forth.
