  • Patent number: 10597821
    Abstract: A system and process is disclosed for treating foul condensate such as foul condensate produced in a Kraft pulp mill. Foul condensate is directed through a steam stripper to produce a clean condensate that is partially evaporated by a volatile rich vapor stream produced by the steam stripper in the course of treating the foul condensate. Vapor produced by the evaporation of the clean condensate is directed to one or more electrically driven mechanical vapor re-compressors that produce the steam that is used in the steam stripper.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 21, 2016
    Date of Patent: March 24, 2020

  • Patent number: 10392748
    Abstract: Wood pulping process including pulping wood to produce a pulping effluent or liquor. Pre-concentrating the liquor in a pre-concentration unit produces concentrated liquor, a contaminated condensate and a non-contaminated condensate. Directing the concentrated liquor to a multi-effect train of forced circulation solids concentrators that further concentrating the concentrated liquor to form a highly concentrated liquor. Directing the contaminated condensate produced by the pre-concentration unit to a steam stripper and stripping gases therefrom and in the process producing a contaminated vapor stream. Utilizing the contaminated vapor stream and its thermal energy to power the forced circulation solids concentrators of the multi-effect train.
