  • Patent number: 10252228
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and a device for feeding at least one chemical substance into a main process stream. The method of the invention comprises the steps of providing a concentrated stream of said chemical substance, mixing said concentrated stream with a diluent stream to provided a diluted stream of said chemical substance, injecting said diluted stream of said chemical substance into said main process stream, wherein said mixing of said concentrated stream with said diluent stream is effected by injecting a jet of either one of said concentrated stream or said diluent stream into the respective other stream.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2019
    Assignee: BASF SE

  • Patent number: 9567710
    Abstract: A pulp making process in which fibrous cellulosic material is pulped to form an aqueous suspension of cellulosic material, the suspension is drained through a screen to form a pulp sheet and that the pulp sheet is dried to form a dry market pulp, in which a water soluble cationic polymer is added to the suspension as the sole drainage aid wherein the water-soluble cationic polymer is either, i) a copolymer comprising (a) between 1 and 70 mole % (meth) acrylamide and (b) between 30 and 99 mole % (meth) acryloyloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride with an intrinsic viscosity between 5 and 9 dl/g; or ii) a hydrolysed homopolymer of vinylformamide comprising between 1 and 100 mole % vinyl amine units and having a K value of between 45 and 240. The process of the invention provides improved drainage time and solids content of the dewatered pulp.
