Abstract
A method and apparatus for treating green liquor from a sulphate pulp mill enhances the clarification of the green liquor and may easily be integrated into existing pulp mills. A first portion of the green liquor from the sulphate pulp mill is clarified in a clarifier to produce a clarified green liquor and a dregs-containing green liquor. The dregs-containing green liquor is filtered in a green liquor filter to produce filtrate and dregs. The filtrate is combined) with the clarified green liquor to produce a first combined stream; and the dregs are filtered in a dregs filter. A second portion of green liquor from the sulphate pulp mill is combined with the dregs-containing green liquor to produce a second combined stream, and the second combined stream is introduced into the green liquor filter. The dregs from step (b) are washed prior to filtering the dregs, the green liquor filter and washer comprising a single structure.
