Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to an improved method for generating clean steam in a digester plant of a chemical pulp mill. By feeding a steam-to-steam converter (SSC) with venting steam from a black liquor flash tank (FT) as well as venting steam from chip steaming (SV) could the volume of clean steam produced be increased by over 40-50%, and to such an extent that the volume of clean steam covers the needs for preheating of chips in the digester system also in severe operational conditions. The total consumption of clean steam from the steam net of the mill may be reduced and used for other purposes such as electricity production, which meets the requirements for converting the pulp mill to an environmental friendly pulp mill.
