Chinese Quality Dimple Plate Heat Exchanger for Black Liquor Treatment in Papermaking Industry

Multiple-effect evaporator and concentrator
Evaporation plants are well-proven in installations around the world. There are a variety of configurations and models available – from pre-evaporators to multiple-effect evaporation trains – to accommodate even the most challenging pulp mill or effluent plant evaporation needs

The major advantage to multiple-effect evaporators is the utilization of proven lamella heating surfaces for high efficiency and reliability.

Critical equipment for the chemical pulp mill
Black liquor evaporation is an essential part of the chemical recovery process as it significantly concentrates the dry solid matter in black liquor so that the liquor can be effectively combusted in recovery boiler. The water removed from the liquor can be segregated and processed so that it can be reused in the mill – reducing fresh water requirements, effluents, and saving money.

Evaporators and concentrators, with their lamella heating surfaces, are adept at processing the spent cooking liquors or mill effluents using the minimum amount of energy while maximizing product dry solids, plant availability, and condensate quality. The lamella heating surfaces are inherently non-scaling. This allows the use of various heat sources inside the lamella, allowing the mill to select the most energy-efficient process connection.

Black liquor evaporation
·  Black liquor recovered from pulping contains 14-17% dissolved solids
·  These solids are composed of about 1/3 inorganic chemicals that were in the white liquor added to the digester
·  The remaining 2/3 consist of the organic chemicals extracted from the wood
·  Black liquor must be concentrated to above 60% solids so that it will burn without supplemental fuel

Basic process requirements
·  Efficient use of energy
·  Efficient separation of water vapor from black liquor
·  Proper separation of methanol, tall oil soap
·  Concentration of black liquor to 75-85% dry solids

How to reach 80-85% dry solids?
Due to the high viscosity
MP-steam as heating medium
 liquor temperature 175 ℃ in final concentrator

Liquor retention time
evaporator acts also as a LHT-reactor

Duplex construction material
high alkali content may cause Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC)

Best possible energy efficiency
The use of fully integrated foul condensate stripping, optimized liquor distribution, and the ability to use various heat sources within a single thermal effect ensure an evaporation system that meets unique customer requirements while providing the best possible availability and energy efficiency.

Benefits
Energy-efficiency for reduced costs
Highest dry solids liquors with maximum availability using crystallization technology
Cleanest reusable condensates using the minimum amount of steam
Lowest steam and electricity consumption
Self-cleaning
Tolerate even non-soluble scaling
