  • Publication number: 20220106210
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for cleaning process water circulated in a paper recycling system, comprising a process water treatment step, which comprises at least one pre-acidification step and at least one anaerobic cleaning step, wherein at least some of the process water to be cleaned is subjected to hydrolysis and acidification in the at least one pre-acidification step and the process water thus treated is then brought into contact with anaerobic microorganisms in the at least one anaerobic cleaning step in order to break down impurities in the process water, wherein at least one saccharide-splitting enzyme is added to the process water before or during the pre-acidification step, and the pH of the process water is set to 8.0 or lower at least during the at least one pre-acidification step and during the at least one anaerobic cleaning step.

  • Patent number: 9216921
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for purifying process water, particularly for continuously purifying process water in the paper industry. The method comprises at least one process water treatment step, which comprises the following steps: a) an anaerobic purifying step, wherein process water to be purified is brought in contact with anaerobic microorganisms in an anaerobic reactor in order to decompose impurities present in the waste water, b) a first separating step, wherein gases present in the process water obtained in step a) are separated from said process water, and c) a second separating step, wherein solids present in the process water obtained in step b) are separated from the process water.
