  • Patent number: 5762760
    Abstract: The reactor comprises a pressurized vessel having an outlet member at its top and further including a blow line. The outlet member includes a housing that is in fluid communication with the vessel and to which the blow line is connected. A rotor is arranged in the housing for urging pulp in a direction of an inner side of the housing so that the pulp is discharged to the blow line while gas accumulates in the center of the housing. An outlet line is in fluid communication with an outlet channel for removing the gas from the center of the housing.
