Abstract

See full text

A system for dewatering/washing wood pulp and also for bleaching the same. Pulp from a digester is directed into a dewatering/washing apparatus which comprises a high pressure vessel in which there is a table assembly having a perforate support surface for receiving the pulp thereon. A pressure differential is applied across the table assembly so that liquid is removed from the pulp. Also, a processing chemical and/or compound for bleaching is directed into the pulp at a final stage in the washer so as to be retained in the pulp. The pulp is then directed to a pressurized processing vessel where the compound and/or chemical reacts with the pulp. The pulp so treated in the processing vessel is then directed through a second washing station where the pulp is dewatered and has a compound and/or chemical introduced thereon, after which the pulp is transmitted to a second pressure vessel. This process is continued until the bleaching process is completed.
