1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The new KHANNA DIP line comprises the installation of a 3 loops deinking pulp
line complete from waste paper to pulp storage, including variable washing -
deashing and DIP water processes.
The deinking grade produce is PRINTING/WRITING made with deinking pulp

from this line and from an existing modified line.
The capacity of this deinking line is 300 BDMT/24h into the storage.
This document is to serve as basis for the program of the DCS control software, a
guide for operation of the line and training of the operators.
The area considered here is fully controlled from by a Distributed Control System
(DCS), with local controls for a limited number of applications, for regulations,
interlocks, sequences and group-start/group-stop.
2 SCOPE
We review in this document the global process layout and main control
parameters.
Chemical Storage and distribution, Sludge Thickening, Paper Machine systems

are excluded from the scope of this document.
For each area, the process is outlined with a definition of the main sub-systems,
basic operating data and main control relations to other process areas.
All items used hereafter (for equipment, valves and instrumentation) correspond
to Flow-Sheet N° FS5232.
GENERAL

3 DE-INKED PULP PRODUCTION SET-POINTS
3.1 Control Principle
The object of the Line production control will be to maintain all intermediate pulp
storage volumes stable (Dump Chest, Bleaching Towers) and maintain Storage
Tower at required level.
Differences in actual tonnage processed in the different loops, resulting either

from instrument error or process variation, are corrected by operator following the
evolutions of the levels in the intermediate capacities
The operator determines the production set points for the line as described
hereunder.
3.1.1 Waste Paper Pulping tonnage
Pulper system takes water from Pulper Water Tank 05CE11 and dumps stock
into Pulper Dump Chest 01CPA15.
The Pulper production follows the level in Pulper Dump Chest 01CPA15.
3.1.2 Loop 1 production control P1-3015
Loop 1 takes pulp from Pulper Dump Chest 01CPA15 and delivers Pulp to Loop
1 Bleaching Tower 07CPA01 - with water recirculating from Loop 1 Disc Filter &
Screw-press to Loop 1 Water tanks.
Loop 1 Pre-screening Slots production is set as set-point to P1-3015.
As transmitter NT3015 continuously measures the consistency of this flow, flow in

m3/h can be calculated and adjusted automatically through Flowmeter FIC3020.
Pre-Screen slots 02SC19 accept flow is forwarded from Constant level box
02CP20.
Then the flow accepted from Stage 1 Pre-Screen slots 02SC19, in excess from
the flow controlled by FIC3020, flows back to Slots screening Feed Chest
02CPA16. The operation of ScreenOne is not affected by changes in throughput.
The Loop 1 Pre-screening accept tonnage is adjusted by checking Loop 1

Bleaching Tower 07CPA01 level LIS6070.
In practice, the residence time of 2 hours in the Loop 1 Pollcon Tower operated
at 80% level with an average 25-35% consistency, leaves time to avoid
overflowing or emptying the Tower.
Operation with stable Bleaching Tower level is recommended for stable

Bleaching operation.
GENERAL
Page 11/265

Loop 2 takes pulp from Loop 1 Bleaching Tower 07CPA01 and delivers pulp to
Loop 2 Storage Tower 12CPA03 - with water recirculating from Loop 2 Disc Filter
& Screw-press to Loop 2 Water tanks.
Loop 2 Production is adjusted with Flowmeter FIC8010 on post-flotation stock

feed pipe.
This adjustment has a direct repercussion on Loop 2 screening feed chest

07CPA08 level control LIC6120 with valve LCV-6120 regulating delivery flow
from Bleaching tower 07CPA01 extraction pump 07PPC07.
Then Loop 2 production P2-5070 is calculated from Flowmeter FI6115 (bleaching

tower 07CPA01 extracted flow) and consistency controller NRC6095.
Operator must check and correct Flowmeter FIC8010 set-point in order to keep
constant level in Bleaching Tower 07CPA01.
In order to keep constant Storage tower 12CPA03 level LIS11045, Loop 2

tonnage P2-5070 should vary relatively to Deashing system throughput P3-12005
and to Final Storage tower 14CPA04 level LIS15040 (when DNT washers are by-
passed).
Loop 3 takes pulp from Loop 2 Storage Tower 12CPA03 and delivers pulp to
Storage Tower 14CPA04 - with water recirculating from Loop 3 DNT Washers to
Loop 3 Water tanks.
Deashing stock feed production is set as set-point to P3-12005.

As the consistency of this flow is continuously measured & controlled by
regulation loop NIC11075, set flow in m3/h can be calculated and adjusted
automatically through Flowmeter FIC12005.
Moreover a washing by-pass line allows to transfer pulp from Storage Tower
12CPA03 directly to Storage Tower 14CPA04 via extraction pump 12PPC05.
Consistency at this point is continuously measured by regulation loop NIC11050,
set flow in m3/h can then be calculated and adjusted automatically through
Flowmeter FIC15095.
Total stock production required from Loop 2 is the sum of Washing feed
production and washing by-pass production.
The Loop 3 Production control P3-12005 and washing by-pass quantity can be
adjusted by checking Storage tower 14CPA04 level LIS15040 and Loop 2
Bleaching tower 12CPA03 level LIS11045.
Operation with stable Storage Tower level is recommended for stable water
balance.

3.1.5 Pulp from Storage to Paper Machine
Paper Machine area Controller adjusts the remote set-point of FIC-15060

controlling extracted flow from Storage Tower 14CPA04.
This transfer production is calculated through Flowmeter FIC15060 and

consistency controller NRC15045.
3.2 Interlocks & Production Set-Points
Operation of the process equipment will prevail on production control through

control interlocks to maintain continuity of operations on the line.
These interlocks are detailed in the applicable paragraph for each process area.
However Operators are required to check all Pulp Bleaching and Storage Towers
level trends regularly in operation and to adjust Production set-points accordingly.
Note: for all systems operated at a stable hydraulic load (flotation cells, cleaners),
no interlocks protect against operation in sub-optimal conditions, if a pulp flow is
applied superior to the design capacity.
Setting a production flow above the design values may lead to sub-optimal
performances or production disruption.
3.3 Production Flexibility, Quality Control & Pulp Production
The line production configuration possibilities described hereunder allow full

flexibility regarding final requirement for bleaching profit and final ash content.
In case of off-specification pulp production due to either Waste Paper

contamination or transitory process upsets, the possibilities proposed allow
proper handling of the off-spec pulp produced.
Bleaching steps series
According to waste paper characteristics and final desired quality, the following
bleaching steps can be adjusted:
- Loop 1 oxidative bleaching in Pollcon tower 07CPA01.
- Loop 2 Reductive bleaching through Heating Screw 14VIT01 and reactive
Tube 14BLT07a & 14BLT07b.
- If required, this Reductive bleaching is achieved in KRIMA dispersion system
(through Disperser 11KR06).
GENERAL
Page 13/265
23/09/2004
Deashing system
Ash content in deinked pulp is proportional to production ratio sent to washing

system (and then to filtrate flow to be treated by Micro-flotation).
Feed production to Loop 3 washing is adjustable through Flowmeter FIC12005,
commanding stock extraction from Transfer chest 12CPA06 (and then from Loop
2 Storage Tower 12CPA03). (Production can be calculated with consistency
measured with NIC11075).
Washing by-pass production is adjustable through Flowmeter FIC15095 (and
calculated with stock consistency measured NRC11050).
The sum of Washing feed and By-pass productions gives the stock quantity to be
processed by the 2 upstream deinking loops.
Case Loop 1 Accept pulp recycling to Start Chest
In the case the Pulp quality obtained at the Loop 1 Disc Filter Outlet is
unacceptable, or during transitory start-up conditions, the Pulp accepted from
Loop 1 Disc Filter may be pumped back from MC Pump 05PMC10 to Start Chest
07CPA11 (and then pumped back to Dump Chest 01CPA15) with On/Off valve
AV6010 forced closed and On/Off valve AV6006 open.
In this case, the Pulp Flow to Loop 2 is closed.
Case Loop 1 Dispersion system By-pass
In the case of malfunction of equipment in Dispersion system, or during special

operating conditions, the Pulp accepted from Loop 1 Disc Filter may be sent
directly to oxidative bleaching tower 07CPA01 with On/Off valve AV6015 forced
closed (with On/Off valve AV6150 open) at Screw Press 06PVS01 inlet.
The upstream Loop 1 process throughput remains controlled as described above.
Case Loop 2 Accept pulp recycling to Start Chest
In the case the Pulp quality obtained at the Loop 2 Disc Filter Outlet is
unacceptable, or during transitory start-up conditions, the Pulp accepted from
Loop 2 Disc Filter may be pumped back from MC Pump 14PMC03 to Start Chest
07CPA11 (and then pumped back to Dump Chest 01CPA15) with On/Off valve
AV15035 forced closed and On/Off valve AV9015 open.
In this case, Reductive Bleaching is inactive:

 Heating Screw .14VIT01 is only used for stock conveying and steam
feed must be closed.
 Reductive chemicals injection must be closed.
Then the Pulp Flow to KRIMA dispersion is closed, the upstream Loop 1 & Loop
2 process throughputs remain controlled as described above.
GENERAL
Page 14/265
23/09/2004
Case Loop 2 Hot Dispersion system By-pass
Same as in Loop 1, in the case of malfunction of an equipment in KRIMA Hot

Dispersion system, or during special operating conditions, the Pulp accepted
from Loop 2 Disc Filter may be sent directly to Loop 2 reductive MC pump feed
tank 12PMC02.
The downstream Loop 1 & Loop 2 process throughputs remain controlled as

described above.
3.4 Ash control and Yield control in Pulp Production
The Ash & Fines content in the Pulp produced and related DIP Line Yield are
controlled by the following process parameters:
- % of total production sent to Loop 3 washing. Then, as a consequence, % of

Washers filtrates processed on Micro-flotation.
- % of Pre Flotation foam re-introduction to Prime Mac feed.
- % of Post Flotation foam re-introduction to Prime Mac feed.
- % of Micro-Flotation sludge re-introduction to Prime Mac feed.

4 DIP LINE WATER BALANCE & CONTROLS
The DIP Line water is structured in 3 circulation Loops.
- Loop 1: from Waste Paper Pulping to Loop 1 Bleaching Tower;

- Loop 2: from extraction of Loop 1 Bleaching Tower to Loop 2 Tower.
- Loop 3: from extraction of Loop 2 Bleaching Tower to DNT Washers and
Storage Tower.
For each loop, the filtrates produced by the thickening equipment are used for
dilution of the thick stock entering the loop.
For loops 1-2-3, the operation of the line requires a filtrate make-up to balance
water exportation through rejects and stock flows.
The Paper Machine process generates an excess of filtrates, which is used to

cover the required make-up to DIP Line.
The object of Filtrate and Water controls is to:

- Obtain a stable operation on the DIP Line filtrate & water flows,
- Allow smooth start-up & shut-down,
- Control water balance through all process variations without Low level or
overflows.
Water process control for each loop are detailed in each corresponding
paragraph.
4.1 Loop 1 Filtrate balance controls
The Loop 1 dilution water tanks are the following:

- Clear Filtrate Tank 05CE03, with level controller LIS5055, used for Cleaners
and Loop1 dilution pumps and overflowing into:
- Cloudy Filtrate Tank 05CE02, with level controller LIS5045, used for
Flotation dilution and overflowing into
- Pulper Water tank 05CE04, with level controller LIC5010, used as transfer to
- Buffer Water tank 05CE11, with level controller LIS5000, used for Pulpers
dilution (occurring high discontinuous flows). This tank has a big volume
capacity in order to store water during transitory phases (for example
shutdown of Loop 1 when filtrate generated by thickening is no more
consumed for Loop 1 process dilutions).
The make-up to Loop 1 is obtained from pump 10PPC09 (Loop 2 Periodic

Filtrates pump), through level controller LIC5010 (level decreasing in tank 05C04)
commanding control valve LCV-5010.
The make-up from Loop 2 to Loop 1 Clear filtrate tank 05CE03 covers the water
losses through the cleaning, screening and flotation processes.
Design flow is to allow minimum for start-up & variations.
GENERAL
Page 16/265
23/09/2004
Note: The Clear Filtrate Tank 05CE03 level controller LIS5055 and Cloudy
Filtrate Tank 05CE02 level controller LIS5045 will be adjusted as to respond
rapidly to any variation in level.
The Pulper Water tank 05CE04 level controller LIC5010 will be adjusted to act
slowly to keep the Pulper Water Tank level trend stable.
The Water tank 05CE11 serves as buffer tank, and its level oscillates following
the batch operation of the Pulper.
Normal variations in operation
When Dump Chest level goes down, either voluntarily or because of process
variation, the volume of water pumped out of Dump Chest flows to Loop 1 Filtrate
tanks. This constitutes an excess of filtrate that ends up in Loop 1 Buffer Water
Tank 05CE11.
To avoid overflow, it is required to have in operation enough storage available in

Water Tank: i.e. the lowest water volume in Pulper Water Tank 05CE11.
On the other hand, when Dump Chest level goes up, i.e. on starting the DIP Line,
the volume filling the Dump Chest will be supplied from Buffer Water Tank
05CE11. For a smooth start-up, it is required to have a sufficient level in Buffer
Water Tank.
Repetition of strong variations in Dump Chest level should be avoided, as this will
have the effect of filling up the Buffer Water chest with Loop 2 water with
additional call of PM White Water into the DIP Line.
The Loop 2 dilution tanks are the following:

- Loop 2 Clear Filtrate Tank 10CE06, with level controller LIS9055,
overflowing into:
- Loop 2 Cloudy Filtrate Tank 10CE05, with level controller LIC9050.
The water make-up to Loop 2 is obtained from pump 13PPC09 (Loop 3 dilution
pump), through control valve LCV-9050 to Clear water tank 10CE06, controlled
by level controller LIC9050.
Then make-up water feeds Clear filtrate tank 10CE06 and overflows to tank
10CE05.
The make-up from Loop 3 to Loop 2 covers the Loop 1 & Loop 2 water losses
through the cleaning, screening and flotation processes.
In case of Microflotator not used for deashing process (DNT washers stopped),
then Loop 2 Clear Filtrate can be pumped through 10PPC10 to DAF feed tank
13CE07. After being processed by Poseidon, clarified filtrate flow back to Loop 2
through transfer pump 13PPC11.

When Loop 1 Bleaching Tower level goes down, either voluntarily or because of
process variation, the volume of water pumped out will be negligible compared to
global water flows.
Operational priority will be to maintain level in Loop 2 filtrates tanks to smooth out
all process variations.
The Loop 3 water tanks are the following:

- Poseidon Feed tank 13CE07 with level controller LIC13010, recovering by
gravity the Filtrates accepted from Filtrates from DNT Washers or filtrates
transferred from Loop 2 (in case DNT washers are not used).
- Loop 3 dilution tank 13CE08 with level controller LIC13005, recovering

accepted from Poseidon and PM water make-up. This tank is used for Loop 3
dilutions and make-up water.
Pump 13PPC10 feeds the Poseidon Clarifier at a controlled & fixed flow (in direct
relation with level controller LIC13010 in order to operate Poseidon accordingly to
DNT filtrates flow).
The make-up to Loop 3 is obtained from PM Clarified Water, through level

controller LIC13005 acting on valve LCV-13005 commanding complement flow to
Loop 3 tank 13CE08.
If required, pump 13PPC19 allows transferring filtrate from tank 13CE07 to

another micro-flotation system in a parallel line (called existing VOITH line).
In order to maintain a stable water balance in the whole system, the same water
quantity must be repatriated from VOITH line in water tank 13CE08.
The make-up from PM Clarified Water to Loop tank 13CE08 covers the Loop 1,
Loop 2 & Loop 3 water losses through the cleaning, screening and flotation
processes.
When Loop 2 Bleaching Tower level goes down, either voluntarily or because of
process variation, the volume of water pumped out of will be negligible compared
to global water flows.
Operational priority will be to maintain level in Loop 3 filtrates tanks to smooth out
all process variations.
When Storage Tower 14CPA04 level goes down, either voluntarily or because of
process variation, the volume of water pumped out of Storage Tower flows to
Loop 3 Washer Filtrate tank 13CE07. This constitutes an excess of Loop 3
filtrate.

5.4 Pulping area
Waste paper loading to Pulper
Waste paper bales are dewired manually & dumped as Loose Paper on Pulper
Conveyor 01TAP01.
The batches put on the conveyor are previously weighted by WIRS1045 to check
the weight of materials going into the Pulper.
In general, the Waste Paper Handling system is controlled locally (local control
panel with PLC, interfaced with DCS) for bales reception and de-wiring, waste
paper controls for the system downstream. (To be checked and corrected with
exact situation).
Afterwards, waste papers are dumped in the Pulper 01PH02 running & filled (25%
level) with hot water and necessary chemicals.
Pulper 01PH02
The hot water tank 01CE05 receives the quantity of filtrate necessary for the next
batch pulping from the distribution water (via pump 05PPC12).
Level controller LIS1075 measures this tank level. High threshold LSH1075 closes
filling On/Off valve AV-1070.
Then filtrate is heated by mean of direct steam: Steam injection quantity (via
control valve TCV-1065) is adjusted through controller TIC1065 and must be
adapted according to required temperature inside Water tank 01CE05.
From this water tank 01CE05, a line brings filling water into Pulper vat via
automatic valve AV-1080. A hand valve MV-1066 is located upstream for
adjustment of the filling water flow.
The volume of Filtrates is completed to the amount required for operation of the
Pulper at a design of 14-16% operating consistency, and the Pulper operates for
the Pulping time required for a proper dispersion of the fibers.
After the set Pulping time, if Dump chest 01CPA15 has enough room, the Dumping
Poire 01PV06 cycle is set to ON.
Pulper 01PH02 rotor is driven in rotation with a gearbox equipped with security
alarms FSAL1050 (cooling water flow Low alarm) and TSAH1055 (Gearbox
temperature alarm).
The Pulper turbine remains in operation continuously during the Pulper operating
cycle. The Dump screen starts and stops at each Pulper discharge cycle.
PULPING

Dumping Poire 01PV06
When the Dump Poire 01PV06 is running, the Pulper discharge proceeds.
A manifold brings the water used to dilute the stock during this dumping sequence:
the largest portion (about 60 to 70 %) is introduced directly at the Dump Poire inlet
(via valve AV-1100), a further quantity goes into the Pulper tub (valve AV-1085),
lastly a small quantity is sent through the tub bottom under the rotor to avoid stock
building up there (valve AV-1095).
The water quantities are measured by Flowmeter FIQS1106 to control the proper
operation and regularity of the different phases of these dumping sequences.
Diluted pulp is pumped out of the Pulper vat towards the dump tank 01CPA15
through the Dump Poire 01PV06 by the Pulper dump pump 01PPC07 at a 4,5-
5,0% consistency.
At the discharge of pump 01PPC07, a regulating command valve HIC1115 is

installed to allow 3 different flows:
- -A closed position to avoid pulp return.
- -An open position for complete closing of the flow to the tank.
- -A selected half close position used during Dumping Poire screen washing
step.
The flow through the Dump Poire is an important factor to ensure the equipment’s
proper operation and efficiency. Too fast, it will carry through more contaminants.
Too slow, it will effect dumping time.
After a set time, if the Dump screen has not been set to Thickening step (auto
alarm or manual), the Pulper Discharge proceeds to Thickening and Emptying, and
the cycle re-starts.
When the Pulper Discharge valve AV-1060 closes, Dumping Poire 01PV06
sequence goes to Rejects Thickening, Draining, Rejects Dumping and Water
Filling.
The Poire motor stops if the Pulper is not in Discharge step.
During the dumping of rejects (Flap valve AV-1105 opens), the regulating valve
HCV-1115 has to be shut to prevent from discharge of the pulp contained in the
feed pipe of tank 01CPA15.
A motor amp-load high intensity alarm JISH1110 helps to detect an eventual

malfunction during Dumping Poire 01PV06 operation.
Waste paper loading to Pulper
Waste paper bales are dewired manually & dumped as Loose Paper on Pulper
Conveyor 01TAP08.
The batches put on the conveyor are previously weighted by WIRS1345 to check
the weight of materials going into the Pulper.

Pulper 01PH09
The hot water tank 01CE12 receives the quantity of filtrate necessary for the next
batch pulping from the distribution water (via pump 05PPC13).
Level controller LIS1375 measures this tank level. High threshold LSH1375 closes
filling On/Off valve AV-1370.
Then filtrate is heated by mean of direct steam: Steam injection quantity (via
control valve TCV-1365) is adjusted through controller TIC1365 and must be
adapted according to required temperature inside Water tank 01CE12.
From this water tank 01CE12, a line brings filling water into Pulper vat via
automatic valve AV-1380. A hand valve MV-1379 is located upstream for
adjustment of the filling water flow.
The volume of Filtrates is completed to the amount required for operation of the
Pulper at a design of 14-16% operating consistency, and the Pulper operates for

Dumping Poire 01PV13
When the Dump Poire 01PV13 is running, the Pulper discharge proceeds.
A manifold brings the water used to dilute the stock during this dumping sequence:
the largest portion (about 60 to 70 %) is introduced directly at the Dump Poire inlet
(via valve AV-1400), a further quantity goes into the Pulper tub (valve AV-1390),
lastly a small quantity is sent through the tub bottom under the rotor to avoid stock
building up there (valve AV-1395).
The water quantities are measured by Flowmeter FIQS1405 to control the proper
operation and regularity of the different phases of these dumping sequences.
Diluted pulp is pumped out of the Pulper vat towards the dump tank 01CPA15
through the Dump Poire 01PV13 by the Pulper dump pump 01PPC14 at a 4,5-
5,0% consistency.
At the discharge of pump 01PPC14, a regulating command valve HIC1420 is

installed to allow 3 different flows:
- -A closed position to avoid pulp return.
- -An open position for complete closing of the flow to the tank.

During the dumping of rejects (Flap valve AV-1410 opens), the regulating valve
HCV-1420 has to be shut to prevent from discharge of the pulp contained in the
feed pipe of tank 01CPA15.
A motor amp-load high intensity alarm JISH1415 helps to detect an eventual

malfunction during Dumping Poire 01PV13 operation.
5.4.3 Buffer water tank 05CE11
This tank is filled with filtrate by pump 05PPC05 connected on water tank 05CE04.
From this tank, pump 05PPC12 ensure Pulper 01PH02 dilution and pump
05PPC13 ensures Pulper 01PH09 dilution.
Water tank 05CE11, additionally to being a buffer for the discontinuous Pulper
Water consumption, is used to absorb variation in water needs on the DIP Line
related to Pulp Storage levels. (See § 4.1 - Loop 1 Filtrate balance controls).
Controller LIS5000 measures tank 05CE11 level continuously.

Low level in tank 05CE11 must be adjusted in order to always assume a minimum
reserve volume of water corresponding to a water total quantity required for a
dumping cycle.
Level set-point must correspond to normal operating level on the Pulper Water
Tank. This level will oscillate at the rhythm of the Pulper batch cycles, and the
controller long integration will ensure that on a 15 minutes period, the Water taken
out by the Pulper is smoothly made-up.
5.4.4 Dump chest 01CPA15
The Dumping Chest 01CPA15 has a volume sufficient to ensure storing between
this first step of the process, which is sequential, and the following steps, which are
continuous.
Controller LIS1425 measures chest level continuously.
Pump 01PPC17 transfers pulp stock to downstream Holes screening.

9 OPERATION
Notes: Both Pulper areas work in parallel and then refer to the identical Start-up
and shutdown sequences. Only one sequence of each is described hereunder but
is applicable to both areas.
The following sequences are an explanation going with function charts describing
all Pulping area operation. Programming must be done in priority with
Function charts (supplied separately by Kadant).
9.1 Start-up
Basic conditions:
- Sealing water main line is under pressure and Flow switch
FSA20135 is not alarm Low.
- Compressed air system is under pressure (pressure PIA19202 not on Alarm

01PH02b (or 01PH09b), and then of main Pulper drive 01PH02a (or 01PH09a).
Opening of valve AV-1080 (or AV-1380) for filling the Pulper with water.
As soon as a minimum volume (about 25 %) has been reached, starting of

conveyor for introduction of paper. The conveyor stops automatically after a pre-
set time or after no presence of waste paper on the conveyor.
PULPING
Page 38/265
23/09/2004
Introduction of chemicals:
- Peroxide H2O2
- Silicate Na2SIO3
- Soda NaOH
- DTPA
- Soap
As soon as the Pulper is filled with the whole water quantity: closing of filling valve
AV-1080 (or AV-1380).
Pulping (Refer to associated Grafcet)

As soon as the Pulper is correctly filled (water, chemicals and paper): countdown
of pulping time.
At the end of pulping time:

 If there is enough volume available in the dump Chest 01CPA15: Pulper
is emptied through the Dump Poire 01PV06 (or 01PV13).
 If there is not enough volume available in dump Chest 01CPA15: waiting
time = 5 minutes. If after these 5 minutes, there is still not enough volume
available, the Helico Pulper motor stops and only starts again when there
is sufficient volume in the tank.
Pulper dumping (Refer to associated Grafcet)

Water filling of Dumping Poire via the dilution valve at the unit inlet (AV-1100 for
01PV06 and AV-1400 for 01PV13).
Start of Dumping Poire motor.
Opening of Pulper dump valve (AV-1060 for 01PV06 and AV-1360 for 01PV13).
Start of Pulper pump 01PPC07 (or 01PPC14) and control valve HCV-1115 (or
HCV-1420) opens to pre-set position.
Opening of dilution valves AV-1085 and AV-1095 for Pulper 01PH02 (AV-1390 and
AV-1395 for Pulper 01PH09).
Pulper dumping time is controlled through timer.
At the end of dumping time, closing of dilution valves AV-1085 and AV-1095 for
Pulper 01PH02 (AV-1390 and AV-1395 for Pulper 01PH09).
Discharge of the water remaining in the Pulper bottom (phase called

“ Exhaustion ”).
Closing of Pulper dump valve (AV-1060 for 01PV06 and AV-1360 for 01PV13).
Once the valve is shut, the Pulper cycle can restart without waiting for the end of
the Dumping Poire cycle.

Washing of contaminants (Refer to associated Grafcet)

Water valve at the inlet of the Dumping Poire (AV-1100 for 01PV06 and AV-1400
for 01PV13) is still open, and then the water washes the contaminants to rid them
of residual fibers.
Closing of the Dumping Poire’s water valve (AV-1100 for 01PV06 and AV-1400 for
01PV13).
Exhaustion by the pump 01PPC07 (or 01PPC14) of most of the water remaining in
the Dumping Poire.
Stop of Pulper dump pump 01PPC07 (or 01PPC14) and closing the valve HCV-
1115 (or HCV-1420).
Discharge of contaminants (Refer to associated Grafcet)

Opening of Dump Poire reject valve (AV-1105 for 01PV06 and AV-1410 for
01PV13): the contaminants are carried away by the water volume remaining in the
Dumping Poire.
Closing of the reject valve (AV-1105 for 01PV06 and AV-1410 for 01PV13) after a
pre-set time.
Remark:
In case of overload of the Dumping Poire motor (perhaps from a too large quantity
of contaminants or from clogging), one goes directly over to the washing of the
contaminants of the Dump Poire. In that case, at the end of the Dumping Poire
cycle, another cycle will automatically be re-launched to complete Pulper dumping.

9.2 Operation
The different steps run off automatically.
Monitoring only consists in checking the correct course of these cycles:
- Monitoring of cycle times,
- Monitoring of consistencies.
- Check if no fiber in Compactor outlet.
- Monitoring of inlet and outlet pressures of Cleaner if used.
9.3 Stop
Refer to associated Grafcet.
On requesting the stop of automatic operation, pulping, chemicals dosing systems

and dumping are carried out normally, the Pulper and Dump screen only stopping
at cycle end.
Remark:
All steps are controlled by delay times or thresholds to be defined on DCS during
the start-up or optimising phases according to raw materials with the exception of
the Pulper dumping delay which is set on.

10.2 High Density Cleaner basics
10.2.1 HD Cleaner Description
The High-Density Cyclone is a centrifugal cleaner, or hydro-cyclone, designed for

the elimination of heavy contaminants (specific gravity superior to 1) from a stock
flow of up to 4,5% consistency. It protects the downstream equipment from
abrasion-related wear and deterioration by those contaminants.
The Heavy contaminants considered here are staples, paper clips and metal
fragments, sands, glass, …

Reject Periodic
The Cleaner head with tangential stock inlet impels a rotating downward
movement to the stock flow. The heavy contaminants are centrifuged against the
wall of the cleaner cone and flow downward to the cleaner reject trap, where they
are collected. The clean stock flows back upwards at the centre of the cyclone to
the accept nozzle of the cleaner.

Page 44/265
23/09/2004
The counter-pressure pressure water flow (continuous clear filtrates, or water)

recovers the fiber captured with the heavy contaminants and contributes to the
control of the cyclone vortex at the bottom of the cleaner. Proper setting of the
counter-pressure pressure water flow is required for optimal operation.
The Reject trap at the bottom of the Cleaner collects the Heavy rejects.
Periodically, the Reject trap is isolated from the cleaner by a sliding gate-valve for
flushing of the accumulated rejects according to a set-time sequence
During the flushing cycle, the feeding of the HD Cleaners remains uninterrupted;
with rejects accumulating for a short time in the lower part of the cleaner cone.
High Density Cleaner requires a backpressure of 10 mWC on the accepted flow.
A H.D. Cleaner is characterized by its pressure loss curve against flow in given
conditions: for adequate operation, the pressure differential across the cleaners
is 12-18 mWC.
10.2.3 HD Cleaner Sequence
10.3 Horizontal screen (CH) basics
10.3.1 Horizontal screen (CH) Description
The CH Horizontal screen operates continuously up to 4,0%.

The perforation size and operating consistency depends on the process
application.
The KADANT CH Screen consists of:

- A stainless steel horizontal cylindrical body, fitted with a bolted front end door-
lid and a back-end spiral-shaped reject chamber;
- A screen basket with fine perforations, with micro-vortex surface;
- A Rotor -rotating on interior of basket- fitted with hydrofoils arranged
horizontal shaft of the mechanism;
- A complete rotating mechanism driving the screen rotor, with a horizontal
shaft running in two grease-lubricated bearings and a water lubricated packed
gland seal, pulleys and V-belt drive;
- A supporting base for the screen body and mechanism.

Page 45/265
23/09/2004
10.3.2 Horizontal screen (CH) Operation
The 3,0-3,5% stock is introduced in the CH Screen at the top and front of the
screen body, tangentially to the wall of the screen body. The pulp flows towards
the screen basket and rotor.
The screen perforation allows the passage of the fiber in the stock to the
ACCEPTS compartment of the screen. Contaminants do not pass the
perforations, and continue their flow downward towards the REJECTS spiral
chamber & outlet.
The rotating rotor foils generate a rotating local pressure pulsation on the screen:
first a light pressure pushing the pulp through the basket, second a strong
depression generating a local counter flow, which frees the basket surface from
potential plugging.
Horizontal CH Screen Overview:

- Rejects Chamber to CH"T" Pipe
The CH screen requires a backpressure of 10 mWC on the accepted flow.
The reject flow is the main operating control parameter.
The pressure differential across the screen basket (Accept/Inlet) is 3-5 mWC in
normal operating conditions. The value is checked for verification of the proper
operation of the screen.

10.4 Tailing screen Diabolo
10.4.1 Diabolo Description
The DIABOLO screen operates with accumulation of the rejects and periodic
discharge, with Holes or Slots perforation depending on the application. The
operating consistency (1,5-2,0%) depends of the process application.
The KADANT DIABOLO Tailing Screen consists of:

- A stainless steel Diabolo body comprising a large reject chamber, fitted with a
bolted front end door-lid;
- A Rotor -rotating on interior of basket for basket Diabolo; rotating in front of
the perforated plate for standard Diabolo- fitted with hydrofoils arranged
horizontal shaft of the mechanism;
- A complete rotating mechanism driving the screen rotor, with a horizontal
shaft running in two grease-lubricated bearings and a water lubricated packed
gland seal, pulleys and V-belt drive;
- A supporting base for the screen body and mechanism.

23/09/2004
The Diabolo is the Tailing screen, last stage of the Pre-Screening system
ensuring a very Low fiber loss in the rejects through its washing cycle prior to
discharge of the rejects.
The 2-2,5% screening rejects are introduced in the Diabolo Screen at the top and
front of the screen body, tangentially to the wall of the screen body. The pulp
flows towards the screen basket and rotor.
The screen perforation allows the passage of the fiber in the diluted stock to the
ACCEPTS compartment of the screen. Contaminants do not pass the
perforations, and are accumulated in the REJECTS chamber.
The rotating rotor foils generate a rotating local pressure pulsation on the screen
plate or basket: first a light pressure pushing the pulp through the basket, second
a strong depression generating a local counter flow, which frees the perforated
plate or basket surface from potential plugging.
Periodically or in case of accept low pressure alarm, or in case of drive overload

alarm, the accumulated rejects are washed and dumped according to a set-time
flushing sequence (See Grafcet)
After the Dumping cycle, the Diabolo fills up on filtrates through the Wash valve
(20-40 seconds) and resumes screening operation. The Diabolo drive operates
continuously during the sequence.
The Diabolo screen requires a backpressure of 5-10 mWC on the accepted flow.
The Diabolo screen is operated without any other regulation than the start-up
setting of the manual valves on the equipment, and trigger of the rejects dumping
step according to Screen differential pressure or drive overload alarm.
The pressure differential across the Diabolo screen basket (Accept/Inlet) is 3-4
mWC in normal working conditions. The value is monitored to trigger the Rejects
dumping step on alarm high.
The Diabolo drive load is monitored to trigger the Rejects dumping step on alarm
high.

10.5 HD Cleaning and Holes Screening Area
The area process structure is as follows:
From the dumping tank 01CPA15, pump 01PPC17 feeds the stock chest
02CPA01 that is a constant level working chest.
The level control LICS2005 commands the stock quantity required upstream the
system.
10.5.1 High Density Cleaning
Pump 02PPC03 on Holes screening chest 02CPA01 feeds the 3 parallel HD

Cleaners (02EPE04, 02EPE05 and 02EPE06) with the pulped stock at a
controlled consistency (through regulation loop NRC2010) of 3,0-4,0%.
HD Cleaners heavy rejects flow by gravity periodically through an automatic

sequence.
The following pressures are obtained from pressure transmitters:
Item Inlet Pressure Accept Pressure Differential

Pressure
02EPE04 PIS2030 PIS2045 PdIS2050
HD Cleaners accepted stock feed directly the 2 parallel Horizontal screens

02CH08 and 02CH09 at a pressure adjusted by control loop PIC2125 with control
valve PCV-2125 on pulp pipe recycling to feed chest 02CPA01.
This configuration of circuit enables HD Cleaners operation at constant rating,
whatever the production. Malfunctions or possible problems are thus more easily
detected.
Counter-pressure & trap filling water to the HD Cleaners is obtained from Booster
Pump 02PPC07. Dilution pressure is continuously checked by PIS2020.
10.5.2 Pre-screening Holes 3 Stages
The Pre-screening system processes the 3,0-4,0% pulp on a 3-stage screen

holes system.
Stage 1 Screens 02CH08 & 02CH09:
The Stage 1 is composed of 2 Horizontal screens (02CH08 and 02CH09) working

in parallel.
Screen 02CH08 inlet and accept pressures are respectively measured by

transmitters PIS2305 and PIS2320. Then differential pressure PdIS2325 is
calculated and helps to check proper operation of Horizontal screen.

Page 49/265
23/09/2004
Idem for Horizontal Screen 02CH09: inlet pressure is measured by transmitter

PIS2355, accept pressure by PIS2365 and differential pressure PdIS2370 is then
deduced.
Stage 1 screening accepted pulp flow to Constant Level Box 02CP15.

Accept flow from each screen is adjustable through a hand-command control
valve (HIC2330 for 02CH08 and HIC2380 for 02CH09) and measured by FI2335
for 02CH08 and FI2375 for 02CH09.
Constant level box 02CP15 feeds Slots pre-screening area. An overflow

connected to Screening feed chest 02CPA01 enables the whole area operation
at constant rating, whatever the production variations.
After being diluted in line (through On/Off valves AV-2340 for 02CH08 and AV-
2385 for 02CH09), Stage 1 screens rejects are routed to Reject chest 02CPA10.
Reject flow from each screen are regulated with flow controllers (FFIC2345 for
02CH08 and FFIC2390 for 02CH09) whose set-points are calculated in direct
ratio with accept flows and accordingly to a pre-set reject rate in %.
Reject chest 02CPA10:
Rejects chest 02CPA10 collects:

 Primary Screens 02CH08 & 02CH09 reject pulp.
 By-pass of Diabolo 02DIA14 infeed.
 Accepted stock from Diabolo 02DIA14.
 Tertiary accept A3 from downstream ScreenOne 02SC19.
 Complement dilution water.
The level in Rejects chest 02CPA10 is controlled by LICS2395 and kept

constant through control valve LCV-2395 on periodic filtrates from Pump
05PPC08.
Stage 2 Screen 02CH13:
Secondary Horizontal Screen 02CH13 is fed with pulp from pump 02PPC12
connected on Rejects chest 02CPA10.
Screen 02CH13 inlet and accept pressures are respectively measured by

calculated and helps to check proper operation of Horizontal screen.
Stage 2 screening accepted pulp is routed in forward to Constant Level Box

02CP15 at a flow regulated with controller FFIC2500 whose set-point can be
calculated in direct ratio with Primary screens accept flows and accordingly to an
pre-set production repartition between primary and secondary stage.
After being diluted in line through On/Off valve AV-2490, Screen 02CH13 rejects
are processed on last stage Diabolo 02DIA14.
Flowmeter FI2460 continuously measures this reject flow.

Page 50/265
23/09/2004
Diabolo 02DIA14:
Diabolo 02DIA14 works in sequences, i.e., alternating working phases along with
wash and contaminant removal phases (See Grafcet).
Diabolo 02DIA14 inlet and accept pressures are respectively measured by

deduced and helps to check proper operation of the unit.
Over working phases, the unit is fed via valve AV-2450. The flow through the unit
is adjusted by means of manual valve MV-2411, installed on the accept piping,
connected to the unit’s top part.
The Diabolo accepts are sent backward to reject chest 02CPA10.
An eventual plugging of Diabolo basket will be detected by accept pressure low

alarm PSL2415 and/or motor amp-load High pressure Alarm JISH2405. Then
Diabolo automatic sequence triggers Washing and dumping phases.
During the Dumping cycle (outside working phases), the stock sent to the Diabolo
screen flows directly to Rejects chest 02CPA10 for a Dumping cycle duration of #
1-2 minutes over a working time of 5-30 minutes depending on the application.
The flow is then adjusted (via a manual by-pass valve MV-2456) to the same
value as accept flow over the working phase to avoid variations in the primary
screen.
Diabolo rejects are flushed periodically.

14 OPERATION
14.1 Start-up
HD Cleaning & Holes screening area is to begin after Pulping.
14.1.1 Water filling.
Starting up the Pre-screening area begins with the filling phase of the units (refer
to associated Function charts):
Basic conditions:
- Sealing water main line is under pressure and Flow switch FSA20135 is not
alarm Low.
Low).
- Loop 1 Clear Filtrate tank 05CE03 level LIS5055 is not Low.
- Periodic water pump 05PPC08 must be running.
- Continuous water pump 05PPC07 must be running.
Open sealing water valves:

 SV-19330 for St. 1 Horizontal Screen 02CH08.
 SV-19338 Diabolo 02DIA14.
Start of the cycle of the high density cleaners 02EPE04, 02EPE05 & 02EPE06
whose first step is the filling phase. (Dilution pump 02PPC07 start is obtained
from HD Cleaners sequence).
Start of the cycles of Horizontal Screens 02CH08, 02CH09 and 02CH13, which
each first step is the filling phase.
Start of Diabolo 02DIA14 cycle, whose first step is also the filling phase.
The units working in cycles (high density cleaners and Diabolo tailing screen) will
automatically go over to the working configuration at the end of filling times.
The filling time of the different units is controlled by delay times set on start-up of
the installation. They take account of the size of units and of pressures and flow
rates available in the water circuits.
14.1.2 Starting of the loop
Once the units are filled, the Pre-screening loop is enabled to start:
If dump chest 01CPA15 level is sufficiently filled with stock, start transfer pump
01PPC17 to fill Holes screening feed chest 02CPA01 up to 60%.
Start of Primary screens 02CH08 and 02CH09 motors.
Start of Holes screening feed pump 02PPC03.

Page 61/265
23/09/2004
As soon rejects chest 02CPA10 level has reached a minimum height (usually
40%):
Start of Secondary screen 02CH13 motor.
Start of Secondary screen feed pump 02PPC12.
NB 1: It is not necessary to wait for the end of Diabolo filling. Indeed, when it fills,
its feed valve AV-2450 is shut, but its by-pass valve AV-2455 is open. The Pre
screening loop can work, the rejects of Secondary screen 02CH13 will simply be
sent directly into the rejects chest 02CPA10.
NB 2: Through interlocks, all regulation controllers will be enabled and will

proceed to Auto with associated equipment start-up.
14.2 Production
The process block can run few minutes in full recycling mode via constant level
box 02CP15.
The stock is bled downstream of the constant level box 02CP15 when required
by slots Pre-screening chest 02CPA16 level controller LIC2605.
14.3 Operation
To be monitored during the operation of the installation:
- Correct course of cycles of the sequence-working units. In particular, whether
the time of working phases does correspond to the quantities of contaminants
to be removed will have to be checked.
- Inlet and accepts pressures of cleaners and in the different screening stages.
- Consistencies.
- Flows through screening units.

Page 62/265
23/09/2004
14.4 Stop
Stop of Holes screening feed pump 02PPC03.
Stop of High-density cleaner cycles.
Stop of Primary screens 02CH08 and 02CH09 motors after a delay to flush the
screen.
Stop of Secondary screen feed pump 02PPC12.
Stop of Secondary screen 02CH13 motor after a delay to flush the screen.
Stop of Diabolo 02DIA14cycle.
The working phases of the units with sequences discontinue bring their cycle to
an end normally. They stop in idle position.
Note: After a shut during which the HD Cleaner have been emptied, the operator
must fill up the HD Cleaner with the HD Cleaner sequence prior to
starting Pump 02PPC03. Failure to do so may generate a pressure
shock in the HD Cleaner piping and valve system.

15.2 ScreenOne basics
15.2.1 ScreenOne Description
ScreenOne is an integrated three stage screen. It is a self contained fine slot

screening plant with a very low reject rate, energy consumption for a very low
overall investment.
ScreenOne basically consists of a tank sealed with a cover and positioned

vertically. Inside there is a screen basket that allows the stock to be filtered as the
result of the action of a rotor.
The rotor is supported and driven by a mechanism that is actuated by a belt
drive.
Primary coarse screen (ScreenOne) connections:

 1 inlet pipe
 3 accept pipes
 3 water dilution pipes
 1 reject pipe
 1 heavy rejects pipe (used as a drain)
 1 sealing water inlet (to avoid eventual damage on internal elements).

15.2.2 ScreenOne operation
The pulp is fed from the bottom into the first stage, which is sized and designed
to get the full use of the total basket length.
Thanks to Kadant’s new patented concept, the “Intermediate De-flocculation

Device” with Dilution (ID3), the stage one reject reaches the second zone under
ideal conditions to optimise the screening operation in 1terms of throughput and
efficiency.
The same principle is applied with a second ID3 between the second and third
zone. Thanks to ID3, separation between fiber and contaminants is extremely
efficient.
The screen cylinder is a multi-life rigid cage cylinder with easily removable
elements, allowing high flexibility in configuration.
The machine is fitted with a specifically designed rotor for high sticky removal and
very low energy consumption.

15.3 Slots Pre-screening area
Stock flows by gravity from Holes Screening accept constant box 02CP15 up to
feed chest 02CPA16 that is a constant level working chest.
The level control LIC2605 commands the stock quantity required upstream the
system via control valve LCV-2605 on stock feed pipe.
ScreenOne 02SC19 receives stock from pump 02PPC18 with stock at

consistency 3-3,5% regulated by controller NRC2610 with control valve NCV-
2610 on dilution pipe fed with filtrates from Water tank 05CE03 via pump
05PPC07.
Pressure regulation loop PIC2705 (with control valve PCV-2705 on recirculating

pipe back to feed chest 02CAP16) keeps constant ScreenOne feed pressure in
order to avoid shocks (that could cause internal damages) during transitory
phases (on ScreenOne start-up when automatic valve AV-2620 opens or during
washing and unplugging sequences).
We recommend inlet automatic valve AV-2620 to open slowly.
Transmitter PIS2640 continuously controls screen inlet pressure.
Accepted stock A1 (from first slotted screening zone) is routed to accept constant
level box 02CP20.
Flow can be adjusted by controller FIC2690 and pressure is continuously
controlled by transmitter PIS2650.
An accidental plugging will be detected by differential pressure alarm PDIS2645
(ratio between inlet and accept A1 pressures).
Rejects from this first zone are diluted (via manual valve MV-2626) with white
water. This dilution flow is measured by loop FIC2625.
Accepted stock A2 (from second slotted screening zone) is also routed to

Constant level box 02CP20.
Flow is adjusted by controller FFIC2685 in ratio with accept A1 flow (FIC2690)
and according to required reject rates between each screening zones.
Stock pressure from accept A2 is continuously controlled by instrumentation loop
PIS2660.
An accidental plugging in 2nd screening zone will be detected by differential
pressure alarm PDIS2655 (ratio between inlet and accept A2 pressures).
A water connection allows stock dilution between second and third screening
zones. This dilution flow is indicated by loop FI2630 and may be adjusted at start-
up with manual valve MV-2631.
Accepted stock A3 (from third slotted screening zone) is sent in backward pre-
screening process:
 Either to feed chest 02CPA16 through On/Off valve AV-2681.
 Or Holes reject chest 02CPA10 through On/Off valve AV-2682
Final pipe direction choice is to be made in order to stabilize ScreenOne feed
consistency during stabilized operation.

PIS2670.
An accidental plugging in 3rd screening zone will be detected by differential
Rejected stock from the third screening zone is also diluted before being directed
to sewer.
Reject dilution water flow is indicated by loop FI2635 and may be adjusted at
start-up with manual valve MV-2636.
Stock rejected flow is adjusted by controller FFIC2675 in ratio with accept A1 flow
(FIC2690) and according to required reject rates.
Dilution controller FIC2625 adds up all water dilution flows to ScreenOne and
adjusts the total (sum of measured flows FT-2625 + FT-2630 + FT-2635)
according to operating dilution Set-Point (adjusted on start-up) by regulating
opening value of control valve FCV-2625.
The Low Flow Alarm for total water dilution calculations (i.e. measured total flow
< 0,5 x set point) indicates a ScreenOne operation problem and is used to launch
a Washing Sequence (see § 19.3.2 – Page 75).
In case of differential pressure alarm (for 1 st screening zone, for the 2nd and for
the 3rd) or in case of drive overload alarm (JISH2700), appropriate sequences are
launched in order to clean the ScreenOne basket (See § 19.3 – Page 75).
Controller SIC2695 allows to adjust (manual set-point before start-up) and control
speed of ScreenOne drive motor from DCS according to screen working
conditions and then to save power consumption.
Stock outlet from constant level box 02CP20 is routed to downstream process
(Pre-flotation).
An overflow pipe from constant box 02CP20 to Feed chest 02CPA16 enables
ScreenOne operation at constant rating (in flow and pressure), whatever the
production variations.

20.2 Flotation cell (MAC) basics
The Flotation process consists of:
- An Aeration phase during which Air is introduced in the 1-1,4% consistency

stock processed.
This is done in the Auto-Clean Injectors, mounted in canisters-see figure
below.
Figure-Injector Canisters: Washing

Water
INLET OUTLET
Air
The size of canisters depending on the construction, their throughput will only
depend on their inlet pressure. Each canister of injectors features:
 A stock inlet,
 An outlet for the stock/air mix,
 A washing water inlet to fill the canister of injectors during start-up,
shutdown or washing,
 An inlet for air injected into the stock and also used for the discharge to
sewer of the washing water.
The size of air bubbles, the air percentage, and stock chemistry are important
parameters.
- A Collection phase during which the ink or particles to be removed are

collected by the air bubbles rising through the stock.
- A Separation phase, during which the air bubbles with the particles collected
are separated from the stock.
- A Foam washing: water is injected at the top of deinking cell and flows back
from 1st aeration outlet to 1st stage feed pump.
Collection and separation proceed in the Flotation cell.

20.3 Deinking MAC cell multi-Aeration flotation
Prime MAC cell with 3 stages in parallel
The 3/3 aerations Primary flotation cell (MAC) is composed of 3 superimposed

elementary cells, each operating an Aeration phase, a Collection phase and a
separation phase.
Fed by a common pump, the processed stock is processed successively in the 3

parallel cells.
Stock accepted from each cell is collected in a common level tank at the top of
the cell maintaining the cell slightly pressurized.
Deinking MAC cell with 4 stages in cascade
The 4 aerations Primary flotation cell (MAC) is composed of 4 superimposed

elementary cells, each operating an Aeration phase, a Collection phase and a
separation phase (See above).
The processed stock is processed successively in the 4 cells.
The stock is pumped through the first aeration injectors to the first cell, disposed
on the top of the cell. The stock accepted from the first cell is pumped through
the Second aeration injectors, until the last cell accept flows to a constant level
box.
The Air separated from each elementary cell rises through the stock flow feeding
the previous cell, leading to a full counter-current flow of air relatively to the fiber
flow.
The constant level box maintains the cell slightly pressurized.
Deinking foam
The Flotation Foam (separated Air bubbles with collected particles) is blown out
via a control valve under action of the cell pressure. By its mechanical action on
the foam, the control valve allows a good air-liquid separation of the foam in the
foam tank.
The Foam control valve is used to control the Foam level in the cell, and by this,
to control the operating conditions of the cell (quantity of foam).
The foam control valve is the main control on the operating conditions of the cell:
Foam consistency, Ash content in Foam, Brightness & speck elimination, loss
control in Total solids and Fiber-see figure below.

20.5 Pre-Flotation area
20.5.1 Prime MAC 03CEV02a
Prime MAC cell feed
The stock coming from the constant level box 02CP20 is pumped to flotation cell
MAC through 1st aeration pump 03PPC01 connected on water tank 05CE02 to
ensure necessary dilution.
Flowmeter FIC3020 adjusts flotation stock feed flow.

Control valve FCV-3020 is the basis weight valve for 1 st loop of deinking line: its
opening fixes the production rate of Loop 1.
As transmitter NI3015 also continuously measures consistency at this point, then

instantaneous Loop 1 production (P1-3015) can be calculated and checked (and
corrected if necessary through FIC3020 set-point) by operator.
A chemicals injection (surfactant), connected at pump 03PPC01 suction, allows

adjusting flotation operation according to process conditions and required
efficiency.
Pump 03PPC01 feeds the 3 parallel canisters of injectors, at the pressure

required (1,4 bars normally) to ensure air suction and mixing of bubbles in the
stock.
Manual valve MV-3021 at the pump discharge is meant to adjust the inlet
pressure and thus the operating flow of the cell.
Inlet pressure of each injectors canister are measured by transmitters PIS3065,
PIS3085 and PIS3105. Then eventual problems can be more easily detected.
The canister’s washing water connection nipples have automatic isolating valves
used during the various operating sequences.
Stock aerated in this way flows inside the cell where separation of air bubbles
from the stock takes place.
Prime MAC accept stock
Stock accepted from each stage flow to a common tank on top of the cell and
from where pump 03PPC03 directly connected on outlet pipe feeds flotation cell
03CEV02b.
In order to balance Prime MAC 03CEV02a stock accept flow and Deinking cell
03CEV02b feed flow, an overflow outlet sends stock excess flow back to Prime
MAC feed pump 03PPC01 suction, through a stand tube 03CE12 used to avoid
air suction into pump 03PPC01.
Stand Tube 03CE12 is equipped with a water injection (through On/Off valve AV-
3136) in order to break foam bubbles that could eventually pile-up there.

Prime MAC cell foam
Foam level is regulated by level controller LIC3145 together with pressure

transmitters LT1-3145, LT2-3145 and PT3150 (refer to regulation principle in
Kadant Function Charts).
The cell level means the stock level in the cell, i.e., the position of the interface
between the stock (at the lower part) and the foam (at the top part).
Foam from the flotation at each aeration stage flows together in the cell’s top part
to fill it entirely.
Prime MAC is equipped with a foam washing device, allowing to “wash” ink foam
collected at cell top part and then to regulate deinking losses with washing flow
controller FIC3135.
Foam tank 03CPA09
Foam is discharged through piping from cell top part. This piping is fitted with
control valve LCV-3145, ensuring both level control in the cell and relaxing of
foam, which is thus discharged as liquid to sludge tank 03CPA09 and transferred
to treatment (outside DIP line) through foam pump 03PPC11.
Pump 03PPC11 is equipped with a variable speed motor in order to adapt foam
transfer flow to Foam tank 03CPA08 level LICS3155.
Moreover, as foam flow to be transferred can vary in a large margin (not easily
compatible with a standard pump curve flow/pressure), pressure regulation loop
PIC3160 (with control valve PCV-3160 on recirculating pipe back to foam tank
03CPA09) helps for this recirculation when flow to be transferred is lower.
Principle:
Foam pump 03PPC11 operating range flow is between a limited margin (could be
between 50 to 100% design flow).
In case all foam flow extracted from pre-flotation cell 03CEV02b is recirculated to
Prime MAC feed pump 03PPC01 (via pump 03PPV10). Then tank 03CPA09
receives only foam from Prime Mac cell 03CEV02a and pump 03PPC11 has to
transfer a lower flow (could be less then 50% of pump 03PPC11 design flow).
In order to maintain level in Foam tank, level controller LICS3150 will enable
pressure controller PIC3160 with opening of valve PCV-3160 in parallel with
regulation to pump motor speed control SC3155.
In case tank 03CPA09 receives foam flow extracted from Prime Mac cell
03CEV02a and from pre-flotation cell 03CEV02b and if flow to be transferred to
treatment is acceptable for pump 03PPC11 design curve, then level controller
LICS3150 will regulate tank 03CPA09 level with pump motor speed control
SC3155 (and pressure controller PIC3160 can be disabled with closing of valve
PCV-3160).

Foam tank 03CPA08 and foam recirculation to Prime MAC
The main benefit of Prime MAC use is the opportunity to re-introduce a part or
the totality of DIP line deinking foam and micro-flotation sludge, in order to reduce
fiber losses and increase plant yield.
Of course this re-introduction flow must be adjustable in relation with required
pulp final quality.
Tank 03CPA08 receives:

- Totality of foam flow extracted from pre-flotation cell 03CEV02b.
- A part or totality of micro-flotation sludge flow transferred by pump 13PPC16
and according to adjustment of recirculation flow control FIC14085 (see §
70.3.2 - Micro-flotation – Page 257).
Note: Post-Flotation foam recycled flow is sent directly to Prime MAC feed pump
03PPC01 suction.
Volumetric pump 03PPV10 transfers foam to be reintroduced from tank 03CPA08

to Prime MAC feed pump 03PPC01.
Operator gives set-point of this transfer flow through pump motor speed controller
SC3125. (One main characteristic of a volumetric pump is that motor speed is
directly proportional to delivery flow. Then transfer flow is obtained with pump
curve and motor speed value).
Recirculated foam can be re-introduced either at pump 03PPC01 suction

(through On/Off valve AV-3028) or at outlet (through On/Off valve AV-3027).
Final choice to be done according to piping installation and resulting pressures
available in the circuit).
Foam tank 03CPA08 level is controlled by LICS3150 in order to stop extraction

pump 03PPV10 in case of Low level.
In case recirculated foam flow (set through pump 03PPV10) is nil or lower than
foam extracted from Cell 03CEV02b, excess flow overflow to tank 03CPA09 and
is pumped by 03PPC11 to sludge treatment.
20.5.2 Primary flotation cell MAC 03CEV02b
The stock accepted from Prime MAC 03CEV02a is pumped to flotation cell MAC
02CEV02b through 1st aeration pump 03PPC03.
1st aeration pump 03PPC03 feeds canister of injectors of the cell’s first stage, at
the pressure required (1,4 bars normally), and continuously measured by
transmitter PIS3365, to ensure air suction and mixing of bubbles in the stock.
Stock aerated in this way flows in the first stage in the top of the cell where
separation of air bubbles from the stock takes place.
PRE-FLOTATION
Page 83/265
23/09/2004
Multi-aeration principle
Stock is then taken up in a pipe in the central barrel to flow out at the cell’s lower
part so as to feed the 2nd aeration.
2nd aeration pump 03PPC04 feeds 2nd canister of injectors, identical to the
previous one.
Hand valve MV-3353 at the pump discharge enables to adjust the inlet pressure
of the 2nd aeration canister of injectors (pressure is continuously measured by
transmitter PIS3345). Stock flows in the cell at a level lower than the one of the
previous stage.
Stock will circulate in the same way for the subsequent aeration steps:
- 3rd aeration pump 03PPC05 (with inlet pressure
measured by PIS3325).
- 4th aeration pump 03PPC06 (with inlet pressure
measured by PIS3305).
Accept constant level box
After the last aeration stage at the lower part of the cell, stock goes up to
constant level box 03CP07 at a higher level than the top of the cell. Thus the cell
is statically and steadily pressurized and floated stock flows out freely.
From this constant level box, stock is routed by gravity to a further process stage.
Constant level box can also send the stock back to the suction of prime MAC
feed pump 03PPC01.
This recycling flow is adjusted by HIC3005 during normal operation (where
recirculating flow is to be set between 0 and 15% maxi of Flotation design flow).
Moreover a parallel bigger pipe, equipped with On/Off Valve AV-3006, allows to
recirculate back all flotation accept flow from constant box 03CP07 if needed by a
transitory phase (for example adjustment on start-up or an eventual incident).
This configuration of circuit enables Flotation operation at constant rating,

whatever the production in downstream process.
The flow through injectors being set by the inlet pressure required for their proper
operation, the flow through the cell is firm.
Due to its principle and inner construction, the Primary flotation cell (MAC)’s
production is only fixed by the feed pump. The other aeration pumps can run or
be turned off without affecting the production flowing through the cell. They only
affect stock quality insofar as their role is just limited to aerating stock via the
injectors.
Deinking cell 03CEV02b foam
MAC cell 03CEV02b foam level is regulated by level controller LIC3390 with
PIS3390 (refer to regulation principle in Kadant Function Charts).
PRE-FLOTATION
Page 84/265
23/09/2004
Foam is discharged through piping at the cell’s lower part. This piping is fitted

25.2 Basics Cleaners System
25.2.1 Cleaners description
Kadant ELP Cleaners
The Kadant ELP Cleaners are cyclonic cleaners, which remove by centrifuge
effect HEAVY particles from a dilute (<1%) stock flow.
The stock is introduced into the Cleaner through the cleaner head with an
integrated spiral deflector, which impels a rotating movement to the stock flow.
The heavy particles are centrifuged against the wall of the cleaner, and, due to
the shape of the conical cleaner wall, progress towards the REJECT end of the
cleaner.
Multi-stage systems
The Reject flow obtained on one stage with optimal reject elimination contains
fiber, which must be recovered.
The Cleaners are therefore assembled is successive stages. Each stage rejects
flow to the next stage; each stage accepts flow back to the previous stage. The
CLEANING

consistency of the stock decreases from one stage to the next, with successive
dilutions at the feed of each stage.

Canister/Battery assembly
For the high number of cleaners ELP136 required in the 1 st/2nd/3rd stages for a
high efficiency cleaning, an optimal mounting arrangement of the cleaners is in
Canisters. The Feed to the cleaners flows though the Inlet compartment. The
Accepts and Rejects flow through the Accept and the Reject compartment.
The reject flow is diluted in the Reject compartment by a manually set filtrate flow.
ELP 136 Canister Assembly
R e je c t
In le t A cce pt
The last stage is composed of ELP440 cleaners mounted in bank, with common
Inlet, Accepts and Rejects headers.
25.2.2 Cleaners operation
A cleaner is characterized by its pressure loss curve against flow in given

conditions: for adequate operation, the pressure differential across the cleaners
is 15 mWC.
On start-up, the manual valves on the Cleaner feed pumps, Accept lines and
Reject lines will be set as to obtain the adequate differential pressure on all
Cleaner stages.
CLEANING
Page 99/265
23/09/2004
Where these settings are implemented with control valves, the adequate control
valve positions are memorized as fixed opening set-point in the DCS.
In operation, operator on DCS monitors the differential pressures on all cleaner
stages. The Cleaner settings do not change in normal operation.
ATTENTION: In operation, deviation on any stage of the Cleaner differential

pressure required to obtain an adequate Cleaner differential pressure indicate
either 1) a modification of the Cleaner manual valve settings, 2) a plugging on a
certain number of cleaners.
This may result in sub-optimal operation of the Cleaner system, with increase in
stock Cleaning consistency and stock back-flows to the Filtrate tank.
The operator is to control these deviations to ensure the operation of the Cleaner
system remains optimal.
The manual valve settings should not be modified without a proper verification
that the operating conditions obtained are adequate.

25.4 Area description
The 4-Stage Cleaners System consists in 3 of ELP136 canisters and 1 bank of

ELP440 (for last stage).
Desaeration Chest 04CPA01
Stock accepted from Pre-Flotation is accepted by gravity from Level Box 03CP07
into Desaeration chest 04CPA01.
Desaeration chest 04CPA01 is operated at constant level via level controller

LICS4005 with control valve LCV-4005 on water addition pipe provided by Loop 1
Periodic Clarified pump 05PPC08.
A parallel filtrate pipe with a bigger diameter is used for chest filling on start-up.
Filling On-Off valve AV-4006 is also interlocked with level controller LICS-4005.
Desaeration chest 04CPA01 allows the air remaining in stock pulp to escape and
is equipped with an agitator 04AG02.
Cleaners are of hydro-cyclone type and must always run at their design flow. The
battery’s inlet and accept are fitted with manual control and with pressure
measuring for adjusting the operating flow rate and detect any variation.
Stage 1 Cleaners 04CLR04A & 04CLR04B
Stage 1 Cleaners is composed of 2 identical and parallel canisters 04CLR04A &

04CLR04B.
Stage 1 Cleaners pump 04PPC03 feeds dilute stock to Stage 1 Cleaners, with
On/Off valve AV-4110 operating as slave valve to the pump.
The following pressures are obtained from instruments mounted on Canister and
connected pipes:
For canister 04CLR04A:
- Inlet Pressure PIS4030
- Accept Pressure PIS4020.
- Differential pressure 1 PDIS4035 (calculated by DCS from difference
between inlet and accept pressure).
- Rejects Pressure PIS4045.
between inlet and reject pressure).
For canister 04CLR04B:

1st stage Cleaners Reject feed the second stage of Cleaners.
CLEANING
Page 101/265
23/09/2004
The Stage 1 reject dilution flow is set on start-up by manual valves on top of each
canister, switched on by common On/Off valve AV-4215 on Loop 1 Continuous
filtrates.
The Stage 1 Sealing chamber degassing valves AV-4060 (for canister

04CLR04A) and AV-4105 (for canister 04CLR04B) open on start of feed pump
03PPC03, and closes after 30s.
1st stage Cleaners accepted stock directly feeds downstream Loop 1 Disc Filter at
the required pressure.
To maintain differential pressure on stage 1 Cleaners in different hydraulic

conditions, regulation loop PIC4010 controls the accept pressure with 2 control
valves PCV-4010A and PCV-4010B on 2 parallel recirculation pipes to Cleaners
feed pump 04PPC03 suction:
- The smallest diameter valve PCV-4010A will be enabled with controller
PIC4010 during normal operation (when pressure recirculation flow not
exceeds 120m3/h).
- The biggest diameter valve PCV-4010B will be used during transitory phases
(like start-up) requiring a bigger pressure recirculation (even a total
recirculation).
This configuration of circuit enables Cleaners system operation at constant rating,

whatever the production. Malfunctions or possible problems are thus more easily
detected.
Stage 2 Cleaners 04CLR06:
Stage 2 Cleaners pump 04PPC05 feeds dilute stock to Stage 2 Cleaners

04CLR06, with On/Off valve AV-4160 operating as slave valve to the pump.
connected pipes:
2nd stage Cleaners Accept flow back to Stage 1 pump 04PPC03 suction
2nd stage Cleaners Reject feed the third stage of Cleaners.
The Stage 2 reject dilution flow is set on start-up by manual valve MV-4156 on
top of canister.
The Stage 2 Sealing chamber degassing valve AV-4155 opens on start of feed
pump 04PPC05, and closes after 30s.

The Stage 2 reject dilution flow is set on start-up by manual valve MV-4206 on
top of canister.
The Stage 3 Sealing chamber degassing valve AV-4205 opens on start of feed
pump 04PPC07, and closes after 30s.

04CLR10. On/Off valve AV-4220 operates as slave valve to the pump.
The following pressures are obtained:

- Inlet Pressure PIS-4250
- Accept Pressure PIS-4235
- Differential pressure PDIS4255 (calculated by DCS from difference between
inlet and accept pressure).
4th stage Cleaners Accept flow back to Stage 3 pump 04PPC07 suction.
The Stage 4 reject dilution flow is set on start-up by manual valve MV-4224 and
switched on by On/Off valve AV-4225 on Fresh Water line.
Common Stages 1-4 Cleaners
The suctions of Cleaners feed pumps 04PPC05 (stage 2), 04PPC07 (Stage 3)
and 04PPC09 (Stage 4) are connected to Loop 1 Clear Filtrate tank 05CE03,
whose constant level ensures a constant head on the pumps and the dilution of
the successive stock flows between each stage. Low level LIS5055 alarm will
stop the pumps.
CLEANING
Page 103/265
23/09/2004
The dilution flow to Rejects compartment of Stages 1-2-3 Cleaners is switched on

by On/Off valve AV-4215, on a line from Loop 1 Continuous Clear Filtrates pump
05PPC07. On/Off valve AV-4215 is forced closed if 05PPC07 is not running.
The Stages 1-2-3 Cleaners canisters Sealing chambers are fed through On/Off
valve AV-4013. 402-HS-6264 is switched on when 3rd stage pump 04PPC07
starts and remains open.
Water for canisters Sealing chambers are provided either from Fresh Water
(through manual valve MV-4257) or from Loop 3 dilution water (through manual
valve MV-4259).
Note: In case the reject dilutions are not set properly, blockage may occur in the
reject lines going from the Canisters back to the Cleaner feed pumps. In this
case, this blockage occurs typically above the manual valve used to adjust
counter-pressure on reject line. In the first weeks of operation, or after having
changed the valves settings, the reject lines of the Cleaner system will usefully be
routinely checked by operator: a blockage will be detected by 1) an increase in
reject compartment pressure, and 2) cold pipe line. In case of an onset of
blockage, opening and closing the manual valve easily remove the blockage.

30.2 Disc Filter basics
30.2.1 Disc Filter Description
Filter rotor
The filter is built around a horizontal shaft with internal axial filtrate channels
leading to one end of the shaft (or both ends if the filtrate quantities are very
large).
A number of filter discs are mounted on the shaft, each disc consisting of 20
sectors, connected to corresponding flow channels in the shaft.
Approx. 70% of the disc area is submerged in a vat, containing the suspension to
be filtered.
The open end of the shaft is connected to a filtrate valve, which opens and closes
the flow channels to a vacuum created by means of a barometric leg of the clear
filtrate pipe.
The disc filter drive set includes a shaft-mounted bevel planetary gearbox, which
accepts a flanged motor into a hollow input. A torque arm is provided to restrain
the shaft mounted gearbox for transmitting the drive.
Filter segments
The rotor consists of a set of circular discs mounted on a centre shaft in welded
and bolted construction.
Each disc accommodates 20 sectors. The sectors are fabricated in stainless steel
construction and covered with a 420-micron polyester filter cloth. The filter cloth is
replaceable.

Page 115/265
23/09/2004
The special design of the sectors enables forming a strong basket design, as well
as minimized inside volume for reaching an optimum filtrate discharge. The
filtrate drained through the discs is led to the outer filtrate channels welded on the
periphery of the centre shaft. The filtrate channels are sloped towards the end
and carry the filtered water to the filtrate valve and from there through the outlet
pipes.
Filter vat
The vat is in welded stainless steel construction and provided with outside
reinforcements at both ends.
The bottom of the vat is provided with drainage connection. A level transmitter
installed on the vat enables automatic control of the rotor speed based on the
level inside the vat and the inlet flow to the filter.
Filtrate Valve
Between the rotating "spider" on the centre shaft and the fixed filtrate valve a set
of renewable wear plates in UHMWPE are installed.
The wear plates are bolted to the filtrate valve and kept pressed against the face
of the rotating centre shaft by three adequately sized pressure springs supported
by mounting bolts.
A sealing arrangement around the wear plate is provided for preventing leakage
between the shaft and the valve.
The filtrate valve at the end is equipped with two filtrate outlets: one for cloudy
and other for clear filtrate. Proportion of the clear filtrate could be adjusted by
varying the position of a special filtrate split device inside the filtrate valve. An
adequately sized manhole with lid is provided on the filtrate valve for accessing
this adjustment device.
Inlet feed box

The inlet feed box is welded on the vat side and equipped with inspection/service
covers.
The feed box is provided inside with floating louvers and weirs, giving a uniform
distribution of incoming stock along the filter length. The louvers float along with
the liquid level in the vat thereby preventing entrapment of air into the feed liquid
due to turbulence.
Filter hood
The disc filter is provided with a welded stainless steel construction hood with
adequate number of inspection covers on either side as well as on top side for
observation of performance as well as for ease of maintenance.
The covers along the sides are open able.
The shower pipe assemblies are mounted and supported inside the hood.
The removable side covers also provide access for maintenance of the showers
and nozzles.
Showers
Oscillating shower
This consists of a main distributing header with branch pipes, oscillating between
the discs.
Each branch pipe is provided with four water jets for cleaning either side of the
disc, efficiently washing the filter segments on the discs.

Page 116/265
23/09/2004
Special “C” nozzles are provided for discharging the water jets. Each nozzle can
deliver a flow of 16 LPM at 7 bar (g) pressure. The “C” nozzles enable any
clogging or choking to be cleared easily just by a twist of the handle.
Dismantling of the water jets is not necessary.
Oscillating drive arrangement includes a gear motor and a crank arrangement.
Clear filtrate from the filter is used as washing water.
Knock-off shower
This consists of a main distributing header with branch pipes between the discs.
Each branch pipe is provided with one water jet on either side of the disc,
efficiently discharging the fiber mat formed on the disc surface. Same “C” nozzles
are provided for this also as detailed above.
Clear filtrate from the filter is used as knock-off water.
Sluicing shower
This consists of a main distributing header with branch pipes between the discs.
Each branch pipe is provided with one water jet, to aid in the proper flow of the
discharged fiber mat through the collecting boxes. Same “C” nozzles are
provided for this also as detailed above.
Clear filtrate from the filter is used as knock-off water.
Stock Collecting Boxes

The stock collecting boxes are in welded stainless steel construction and located
inside the vat and uniformly arranged between the adjacent discs.
These collecting boxes are so strategically placed to receive the knocked-off fiber
mat from the discs and convey it to the discharge screw mounted below the
trough.
Discharge Screw
The recovered stock falls into a discharge screw mounted at the bottom of the
trough.
The discharge screw is built around a hollow stainless steel pipe and provided
with end shafts running over roller bearings.
The drive set consists of a gear box with hollow output and a flanged motor
directly mounted.
The discharge screw flight is cut and folded at intervals and also provided with
paddles at the discharge end to break-up the fiber mat and feed the stock
uniformly through the outlet nozzle.

30.2.2 Disc Filter operation principle
The fiber suspension enters the filter via the inlet feed box A and is uniformly
distributed across the entire length of the trough.
The inlet box has a float arrangement B that moves up and down with the level of
the stock in the trough thereby eliminating air entrapment in the liquid.
As the centre shaft C and discs D rotate, initial filtration takes place by gravity
and the pulp mat starts to form on the disc sectors, ensuring optimal dewatering
characteristics.
At this stage, the water removal takes place by physical filtration through the filter
bags on the disc sectors. The filtrate is drained via the open grid segments to the
corresponding outer channels E that forms the cloudy filtrate, which gets
extracted through the nozzle F on the filtrate vale.
As the discs rotate further, clear filtrate gets extracted through the portion of the
spider coming under vacuum due to the barometric drop leg and this water also
flows through the flow channels to the filtrate valve G and out through another
nozzle H.
Clear filtrate is formed under negative pressure when the filtration takes place
through the fiber mat already formed on the discs. When the segments emerge
from the suspension they are drained and the pulp mat is dewatered under
negative pressure.
The fiber mat is knocked-off at the top by means of knock-off nozzles I and falls
through the collecting boxes J directly into the discharge screw trough K.
The filter cloths are cleaned by oscillating nozzles L before the filtration
procedure starts over again.
The shower headers are supported inside a hood N, which also serves to cover
the whole disc filter.
The cleaning shower nozzles are mounted on the oscillating shower header M,
which is driven by a geared motor O through an oscillating mechanism. The disc
filter rotor is rotated by a main drive consisting of a planetary gear box P and
electric motor run through a variable frequency drive.
The repulper at the bottom of the trough is driven by a gearbox / motor Q directly
mounted on repulper shaft.
The entire disc filter equipment is provided with an MS fabricated base frame R,
which supports the equipment on a civil foundation.
The normal barometric leg recommended for a good installation would be 7M

from the top of the water level in seal pit to the centreline of the filtrate valve.
For an optimum filtration / thickening efficiency of the disc filter, the barometric
leg is of paramount importance, as this decides the amount of vacuum available
for the dewatering process.
The vacuum in the clear filtrate leg would be around 350 to 400 mm Hg for good
dewatering performance.

Page 118/265
23/09/2004
The disc filter rotates at a maximum speed of 2 RPM.

The speed could vary between 0.5 to 2 RPM that would be automatically
controlled based on the trough liquid level by the variable frequency drive on the
main motor. The customer’s DCS or PLC system should be programmed to
achieve the above control loop based on level transmitter readings.
Disc Filter Overview

Page 119/265
23/09/2004
30.3.1 Loop 1 Disc Filter
The Loop 1 Disc Filter 05FDQ01 thickens the pulp flow accepted from the Fine-
Cleaning system, from 1% to 10-12%.
Brightness on feed to Loop 1 Disc Filter is measured by transmitter AIR5015 and

displayed/recorded.
Pulp pH on feed to Loop 1 Disc Filter is measured by transmitter AIR5005 and

displayed/recorded.
The Disc Filter main drive speed controller SIC5025 maintains the level LIC5020
in Disc Filter 05FDQ01 vat.
This is the only control on the Disc Filter:

- When the hydraulic through-put fed to the disc filter increases, leading to
increase the pulp level in the vat, the Disc filter drive speed increases.
- When the hydraulic through-put fed to the disc filter decreases, leading to
increase the pulp level in the vat, the Disc filter drive speed decreases.
The filtrate supply to the Disc Filter showers, from its own Clear filtrates for both
oscillating showers and Knock-off showers, is switched on by actuating On/Off
valve AV-5035.
Pressure indicator PI5040 on filtrates supply line to Knock-off shower ensures the
adequate pressure is available.
The respective shower flows are adjusted by setting of manual valves.
Transmitter PI5050 measures vacuum available for Disc Filter operating in Clear
filtrate barometric leg.
A speed switch SS5030 supervises the Repulping Screw 05FDQ01b rotation.
The accepted 10-12% stock falls in stand pipe of MC pump 05PMC10 feeding-
Screw-press & Dispersing 1.
The Shower pump 05PPC06 ensures the cleaning & unplugging of the Disc Filter
sectors wire, using the Disc Filter's own clear filtrates.
30.3.2 Loop 1 water distribution
The Loop 1 Filtrate distribution system ensures the filtrate requirements for Loop
1 are covered.
Clear Filtrate tank 05CE03

This tank receives:
 Clear filtrate extracted from Disc Filter 05FDQ01.
 Complement water from loop 2 water pump 10PPC09 (through control
valve LCV-5010).
 Tank filling water also from loop 2 water pump 10PPC09 (through
On/Off valve AV-5051).

Page 120/265
23/09/2004
The level is measured by LIS5055.
Tank 05CE03 is used to feed:

 Loop 1 Continuous white water pump 05PPC07
 Loop 1 Periodic white water pump 05PPC08
 Disc Filter showers pump 05PPC06
 Cleaners feed pumps 04PPC05 (Stage 2), 04PPC07 (Stage 3) and
04PPC09 (Stage 4).
A continuous overflow to Cloudy water tank 05CE02 allows a constant level of

water and then avoids pressure variations at connected pump suctions, and
transfers complement to downstream water tanks.
Cloudy Filtrate tank 05CE02

This tank receives:
 Cloudy filtrate extracted from Disc Filter 05FDQ01.
 Loop 1 Screw-press 06PVS01 filtrates.
 Overflow from Clear Water tank 05CE03.
The level is measured by LIS5045.
Tank 05CE02 is used for dilution of Pre-flotation feed pump 03PPC01.
Cloudy filtrates in excess overflow by gravity from to Pulper water tank 05CE04
and allow complement to downstream water tanks.
Pulper water tank 05CE04

Pump 05PPC05 connected to this tank transfers Loop 1 filtrate to Buffer tank
05CE11 for:
 Dilution of Pulping area.
 Storage of excess filtrate during transitory phases (for example
shutdown of Loop 1 when filtrate generated by thickening is no more
consumed for Loop 1 process dilutions)
Level of tank 05CE04 is controlled by loop LIC5010 acting on control valve LCV-
5010 on make-up water from Loop 2 Periodic Filtrates pump 10PPC09, falling in
Clear Filtrate tank 05CE03 and overflowing successively to tank 05CE03 and
finally to tank 05CE04.
This configuration enables Low levels LIS5045 and LIS5055 to call also for water
complement in case of water deficit in corresponding water tank.

34.1.3 Production
The process bloc starts in production with the flotation bloc and cleaning bloc
(Once the stock is bled downstream of the constant level box 02CP20 via control
valve FCV-3020).
Cleaners feed pump 04PPC03 is allowed to start with Disc Filter READY status.
When feed pump 04PPC03 is started:

Put the Disc Filter trough level controller LIC5020 in AUTO Mode.
NB: The process block can run few minutes in water mode if the flotation loop
and cleaning & fines screening loop are running into water mode.
34.2 Operation
 Monitoring of HP shower water pressure.

 Monitoring of consistencies (Water and stock).
 Monitoring of operating vacuum

Page 128/265
23/09/2004
34.3 Shutdown
The process bloc stops in production with the flotation bloc and the cleaning loop,
by closing of the control valve FCV-3020 outlet of the constant level box 02CP20.
Loop 1 Disc Filter stops in production with stop of feed pump 04PPC03.
34.3.2 Disc Filter 05FDQ01 stop

much of fiber is recovered as possible from the liquid in the trough.
Stop Loop 1 Disc Filter Oscillating shower drive 05FDQ01c.
Stop Disc Filter Shower Pump 05PPC06 and close its delivery valve AV-5035.
Stop the stock repulper screw drive after time delay of 5 minutes, to ensure that
stock does not remain in the screw trough during stoppage.
CAUTION!
It would be preferable to operate the Disc Filter system for 5-10 minutes with just
showers water for internal cleaning prior to any medium duration stoppage (up to
4 hours).
For stoppages exceeding 4 hours, it would be preferable to clean the internal

system and have the trough drained fully. The contents of the trough should be
drained very slowly and gradually to avoid physical damage to the internal
components of the trough and rotor due to build-up of vacuum caused by
excessively rapid draining (siphon effect). Use of wire cleaning showers to clean
the filter fabrics is recommended. The inside of the hood and the showers pipes
should also be cleaned with water hose under pressure.
34.3.3 Loop 1 Water distribution

35.4 Basics Kneader type TL
35.4.1 Kneader description
The pulp introduced into the Kneader is subjected to shear forces between stator
& rotor, which conveys the pulp through the kneading zone, with a controlled
counter-pressure maintained at the outlet of the Kneader.
The KADANT Kneader type TL is a single shaft Kneader, comprising the

following elements:
- Inlet & accept casing and support for inlet side/accept side bearing, base-
frame;
- Cylindrical body, with connection for thick stock inlet, thick stock outlet, and
nozzles for steam injection. In Kneading zone, the mantled body supports the
individual stator kneading fingers constituting the Kneader Stator.
- Rotating shaft, equipped with a conical screw in Feeding zone, and with
rotating kneading fingers in Kneading zone, constituting the Kneader Rotor.
- Counter-pressure system, with pneumatically actuated flap on thick stock
outlet (local pneumatic panel with pressure control, remote set-point).
The Kneader is equipped with a mechanical gear-drive & motor coupled to the
Kneader drive shaft. The Kneader is operated at fixed speed.
The thick stock to be processed in fed by gravity into the Kneader stock inlet, and
is carried forward by the screw in the Feeding zone into the kneading zone.
The kneading action takes place between the interpenetrating rows of fingers:
rotating (rotor) and stationary (stator). As the pulp is forced forward through the
area between the fingers, it is subjected to intense friction & shear, which
determine the kneading effect on the pulp.
The main process parameter to control the kneading effect is the specific
energy absorbed by the stock. The absorbed kW load is controlled by the
pneumatic counter-pressure applied on the stock outlet.
The counter-pressure system comprises of a pneumatically actuated flap

mounted against the stock outlet. The pneumatic pressure applied to stock outlet
flap is controlled from local pneumatic panel, with remote set point used to control
absorbed kW on the Kneader.
The energy absorbed by the stock in the Kneader leads to a significant

temperature increase. Steam injection into the Kneader, controlled by
temperature measurement on the accepted stock, ensures an optimal accepted
stock temperature optimal for bleaching as required.
35.4.2 Kneader Counter-pressure control & Pneumatic Panel
35.4.2.1 Kneader Counter-pressure control & Pneumatic Panel

Page 133/265
23/09/2004
The Kneader local pneumatic panel comprises a pressure control of the

Compressed air feed to the Kneader counter-pressure pneumatic actuator, with
remote set point and On/Off release of air-pressure.
The counter-pressure system (abbreviated CP) is integrated into the process

system using the following features:
Counter-Pressure On/Off: the Kneader counter-pressure is put on or released
at once by closing/opening of a solenoid valve.
Note: the local panel solenoid is Fail-open (1 to close).
Kneader Counter-Pressure set point: the set point to the pneumatic counter-
pressure (= local controller JT-6030) is obtained from DCS controller JICS6030
(DCS output to local servo valve).
The process value input to JICS6030 controller is the Amp load feedback
(expressed in kW).
35.4.2.2 Kneader Absorbed Power control: Counter-pressure
Kneader CP is to be set ON by operator. If Kneader CP is OFF, the Power

controller is disabled with minimum counter-pressure set point to Kneader
pneumatic panel, solenoid valve open to release pressure.
If Kneader High-High Amp load alarm, or in case of interlocks downstream to

Kneader, reset Kneader CP to OFF.
When enabled by operator, the DCS Power controller JICS6030 controls the
Counter-pressure local controller of the Kneader, at the Amp Load (or kW) set-
point entered by operator:
- If measured Amp load JICS6030 increases to above set-point, DCS controller
reduces counter-pressure;
- If measured Amp load JICS6030 decreases to below set point, DCS
controller increases counter-pressure.
Note: the controlled value is absorbed kW - NOT specific absorbed kW. The set-
point to the power controller will need to be adapted by operator taking into
account the through put of the line.
The Kneader absorbed Power is monitored by operator. Activating CP Absorbed

Power control using Kneader CP ON remains an operator decision.
35.5 Basics Pollcon Tower

35.6 Dispersion and Bleaching description
35.6.1 Transfer MC pump 05PMC10
Note: The following description for MC pump operation & associated regulations
correspond with a Sulzer pump type.
This paragraph is to be adapted and/or corrected in case of any other supplier.
Stock at 10-12% falls by gravity from the Loop 1 Disc Filter 05FDQ01 Repulping
screw outlet into the MC Pump Stand-Pipe 14CE02.
Dilution water is injected to the stand-pipe at the top by HCV-5060 and to the
base by LCV-5065. Both valves can be operated in manual or in Automatic.
The pump drive speed is controlled by SIC5068.
The level in the MC Pump Stand-Pipe is controlled by LICS5065 operating on MC

pump motor speed controller SIC5068.
In addition, LICS5065 controls valves LCV-5065 & HCV-5060 dilution valves to

Stand-pipe, opening the level dilution valves when the level rises.
In Manual mode, Top dilution valve HCV-5060 and bottom dilution valve LCV-
5065 can be opened at any time.
In Auto mode, Top dilution valve HCV-5060 is opened at operator defined

opening set-point + controlled value related to deviation of LICS5065 from set-
point.
Bottom dilution valve LCV-5065 is normally closed, and opens to operator set
value when LICS5065 measure is greater than 30% above set-point and MC
Pump is running.
The MC Pump 05PMC10 pumps the stock forward to downstream process.

Consistency measurement via NI5110 has been added at the MC pump outlet
just to be able to monitor the outlet consistency of the stock.
35.6.2 Recirculation chest 07CPA11
During transitory phase (like on start-up or during an eventual incident in

downstream process), a recirculation line from MC pump 05PMC10 outlet
(through On/Off valve AV-6006 open and with On/Off valve AV-6010 closed)
allows recirculation of Loop 1 Accepted stock back to intermediate chest
07CPA11.
This pulp transferred to chest 07CPA01 is diluted in line with filtrates from pump
10PPC13 and through On/Off valve AV-6160 in order to decrease consistency
from 10 to 4-5%.
Chest 07CPA011 is equipped with a horizontal agitator 07AG12 and level is

controlled by LIC6007 acting on control valve LCV-6007 at extraction pump
07PPC13 outlet.

Page 137/265
23/09/2004
Extraction pump 07PPC13 transfers stock to Dump Chest 01CPA15.
Then when operator activates loop 1 accept stock recirculation to Dump chest, a
sequence automatically:
 Starts filtrate pump 10PPC13
 Opens filtrate valve AV-6160
 Opens by-pass valve AV-6006 and closes opposite valve AV-6010
 Sets in Auto mode level controller LIC6007
 Enables start of agitator 07AG12 and extraction pump 07PPC13
(motors start depend also on interlocks).
Recirculation chest 07CPA11 can also by fed Loop 2 Disc Filter accepted stock
through MC pump 14PMC03.
35.6.3 Screw Press 06PVS01
The Screw-Press 06PVS01 thickens the 10-12% pulp (from Loop 1 Disc Filter via
MC pump 05PMC10) to 30-35% consistency required for Kneading.
Transmitter PIS6005 measures screw-Press 06PVS01 feed pressure and a by-

pass line (through On/Off valve AV-6150 with opposite On/Off valve AV-6015
closed) can send pulp directly to downstream bleaching tower 07CPA01.
Screw Press torque is controlled by JICS6020.
Screw press is equipped with a variable speed motor controlled by SIC6021.
These operating parameters (torque set-point/ operating speed range/ counter-

pressure) of the screw press need to be adjusted on start-up to achieve adequate
outlet consistency.
The consistency of thick stock at the outlet of the Screw Press results of the
Torque JICS6020 and counter-pressure applied to the press, taking into account
the type of pulp, the throughput, the inlet consistency.

The filtrates extracted from the Screw press flow by gravity to Cloudy Filtrate
Tank 05CE02.
The 30-35% consistency stock accepted from the Screw press feeds directly
Kneader 06TL02.
35.6.4 Kneader 06TL02
Pulp falls directly from Screw Press 06PVS01 to Kneader 06TL02.
Necessary chemicals for oxidative bleaching are also introduced into the Kneader
infeed hopper.
Notes:
 Chemicals flow should be proportional to line production.
 The supply of chemicals MUST be interlocked (hard) to the operation
of the Kneader and downstream equipment, and to the presence of
stock in the Kneader (indicated by Kneader CP-Status ON).
The pulp introduced into the Kneader 06TL02 is subjected to shear forces
between stator & rotor, which conveys the pulp through the kneading zone, with a
controlled counter-pressure maintained at the outlet of the Kneader.
Kneader 06TL02 rotor is driven in rotation with a gearbox equipped with security
alarms FSAL6135 and TSAH6050 (Gearbox temperature alarm).
Torque controller JICS6030 receives as process value input the Amp load %
measured by the MCC and copied to DCS, and controls the set-point to local
pneumatic panel counter-pressure local controller to Kneader counter pressure.
Operator sets the set-point to JICS6030; there is no remote set-point for specific
energy control provided for at this stage.
Pulp into Kneader is heated with direct steam injection.

The steam control valve TCV-6025 is controlled by the temperature loop TIC6025
measured on the thick stock accepted from the Kneader (TT on Kneader) in order
to obtain a required bleaching temperature T= 80-95°C at outlet of Kneader
(depends on operating conditions).

Page 139/265

The thick stock accepted from Kneader falls by gravity into Bleaching Tower
07CPA01.

Page 140/265
23/09/2004
35.6.5 Pollcon Tower 07CPA01
The thick stock fall from Kneader into Bleaching tower 07CPA01 at consistency
30-35%.
The pulp bleaching proceeds at high consistency. Tower volume has been sized
adequately to the required residence time of the pulp.
Bleaching tower 07CPA01 level is measured by LIS6070.
High Level LIS6070 is one of the main levels on the line, to be monitored by
operator to control the production & stability on loop 1 by acting on Loop 1
production set-point (through command FIC3020 regulating stock feed to Pre-
Flotation area).
The Ox Bleaching tower must have a minimum level of filtrates or stock prior to
feeding thick stock - to prevent block agitator or extracting system. This requires
pre-filling on filtrates prior to start the line. Operator does this filling manually from
DCS.
Operation with stable Bleaching Tower level is recommended for stable

Bleaching operation.
Bottom agitator 07AG02 is equipped with a torque alarm XS6080 to detect an

eventual blockage of agitator.
The Bottom agitator 07AG02 torque JIC6085 controls the flow to Dilutions A-
Annular ring & B-Central box through control valve FCV-6085.
The dilution C flow is controlled by FIC6060 through control valve FCV-6060, with
set-point in remote could be proportional to stock flow FI6115 extracted from
Tower bottom to downstream fine screening.
In Extraction Mixer 07AG03, the Pulp is fluidised and further diluted by DILUTION
D flow, controlled by measured consistency NRC6095 through control valve
NCV-6095 in order to reach 4,5%.
All these dilution flows are fed with Loop 2 filtrates from pump 10PPC08.
Pump 07PPC07 extracts the stock from Bleaching tower to downstream Loop 2
process (i.e. Fine Screening feed chest 07CPA08).
Flowmeter FI6115 measures this transfer flow.
Then Loop 2 production P2-5070 can be calculated from Flowmeter FI6115 and
consistency controller NRC6095.

Basic conditions:
alarm Low
Low).
- Steam network under pressure
- “FRESH WATER” network under pressure
- Chemicals ready
- Loop 2 filtrate tanks Level LIC9050 & LIS9055 are not Low.
- Bleaching tower 07CPA01 level LIS6070 is not High AND not Low-Low
Note: If Bleaching Tower 07CPA01 level is Low, operator needs to pre-fill the
Tower with Loop 2 filtrates from pump 10PPC08.
The system is started by sequentially starting all elements from downstream to

upstream.
If not already running, start Loop 2 filtrate pumps 10PPC08 & 10PPC09.
Start Kneader 06TL02.

When running status is obtained, wait T=5s then proceed
Set ON Screw Press 06PVS01.
Set Screw Press Torque controller JICS6020 to MANUAL and 80% output.
Time delay 10 seconds.
Screw Press counter pressure cone solenoid valve deenergized
Start feed MC pump 05PMC10.

All attached valves and controllers of sub-system - in Auto mode - start
according to interlocks defined above:
The system is running.

39.1.2 Production
The process bloc starts in production with Flotation area: with the opening of
valve FCV-3020at the outlet of the constant level box 02CP20.
The whole LOOP1 line is then started, and when stock arrives to Bleaching
Tower 07CPA01. Operator then needs to set:
 Screw Press Torque controller JICS6020 to AUTO and standard set
point.
 Kneader Counter-pressure ON.
With Interlocks, Kneader 06TL02 heating temperature controller TIC6025 will be

enabled when allowed by Screw press 06PVS01.
Kneader CP_Status ON is required to allow Chemical dosage to Kneader.
Thanks to recirculation chest 07CPA11, it’s also possible to start Loop 1 in

production with pulp without Screw Press and Kneader system: with On/Off valve
AV-6010 closed and valve AV-6006, pulp from MC pump 05PMC10 feeds directly
chest 07CPA11 and is sent backward to Dumping chest 01CPA15 via pump
07PPC13.
39.2 Operation
 Monitoring of stock consistencies.
 Monitoring of Steam pressure
 Monitoring of drive motors load.
 Monitoring of Kneader 06TL02 specific energy
 Checking of Bleaching Tower level 07CPA01 (one of the main
parameters in the line).

39.3 Shutdown
Loop 1 DIP line stops in production with the pre-flotation, fine cleaning and Disc
Filter areas, by closing of the control valve FCV-3020 outlet of the constant level
box 02CP20.
Provided there is no pulp flow to the Loop 1 Disc Filter, Thickening – Bleaching
sub-system can be stopped.
Waiting is provided to empty the system from the stock present for an adequate
planned shut.
Thickening – Bleaching area is stopped after Disc Filter area.
Stop feed MC pump 05PMC10.

Stop Screw Press 06PVS01

Wait T=10s then proceed
Stop Kneader 06TL02
The system is stopped
Note: Tower extraction pump 07PPC07 is stopped when no more pulp is required
on downstream process. This action is independent from upstream process stop
sequence.

40.3 Fine screening area
From the Bleaching tower 07CPA01, pump 07PPC07 feeds the stock chest
The level control LIC6120 commands the stock quantity required upstream the
system via control valve LCV-6021 on stock feed pipe.
Feed chest 07CPA08 serves also to homogenize finely stock extracted from
Bleaching step (in consistency, air content, …).
ScreenOne 08SC01 receives stock from pump 07PPC10 with stock at

consistency ~3% regulated by controller NRC6125 and addition of Loop 2 filtrates
from pump 10PPC08.
In fact, as dilution at this point requires a relatively big flow (at least more than
acceptable for a single injection to pump suction where consistency adjustment is
better with limited flow variations), water dilution is made through controllers
QC6126 and NRC6125 as follows:
 Most part is directed (via control valve NCV-6126) towards feed chest
07CPA08.
 Remaining dilution water flow is directed (via control valve NCV-6125)
to suction of pump 07PPC10 where consistency reaches more finely
3%.
Controller QC6126 operates as a proportional ratio in order to adjust associated

valves (NCV-6125 and NCV-6126) opening values, and then the sharing of total
dilution flows (usually 70% of total flow through valve NCV-6126 and 30%
through NCV-6125).
Pressure regulation loop PIC7090 (with control valve PCV-7090 on recirculating

pipe back to feed chest 07CAP08) keeps constant ScreenOne feed pressure in
order to avoid shocks (that could cause internal damages) during transitory
phases (on ScreenOne start-up when automatic valve AV-7020 opens or during
washing and unplugging sequences).
We recommend inlet automatic valve AV-7020 to open slowly.
Screen inlet pressure is continuously controlled by control loop PIS7025.
Accepted stock A1 (from first slotted screening zone) is routed to accept constant
level box 08CP02.
Flow can be adjusted by controller FIC7085 and pressure is continuously
controlled by loop PIS7030.
An accidental plugging will be detected by differential pressure alarm PDIS7035
(ratio between inlet and accept A1 pressures).
Rejects from this first zone are diluted (via manual valve MV-7006) with white
water. This dilution flow is measured by loop FIC7005.
Accepted stock A2 (from second slotted screening zone) is also routed to

Constant level box 08CP02.
Flow is adjusted by controller FFIC7080 in ratio with accept A1 flow (FIC7085)
and according to required reject rates between each screening zones.

A water connection allows stock dilution between second and third screening
zones. This dilution flow is indicated by loop FI7010 and may be adjusted at start-
up with manual valve MV-7011.
Accepted stock A3 (from third slotted screening zone) is sent backwards to feed
chest 07CPA08.
A3 accept Flow is adjusted by controller FFIC7075 in ratio with accept A1 flow

(FIC7085) and according to required reject rates between each screening zones.

An accidental plugging in 3rd screening zone will be detected by differential
Rejected stock from the third screening zone is also diluted before being directed
to sewer.
Reject dilution water flow is indicated by loop FI7015 and may be adjusted at
start-up with manual valve MV-7016.
Stock rejected flow is adjusted by controller FFIC7070 in ratio with accept A1 flow
(FIC7085) and according to required reject rates.
Dilution controller FIC7005 adds up all water dilution flows to ScreenOne and
adjusts the total (sum of measured flows FT-7005 + FT-7010 + FT-7015)
according to operating dilution Set-Point (adjusted on start-up) by regulating
opening value of control valve FCV-7005.
The Low Flow Alarm for total water dilution calculations (i.e. measured total flow
< 0,5 x set point) indicates a ScreenOne operation problem and is used to launch
a Washing Sequence (see § 44.3.2 – Page 166).
In case of differential pressure alarms (for 1st screening zone, for the 2nd and for
the 3rd) or in case of drive overload alarm (JISH7045), appropriate sequences are
launched in order to clean the ScreenOne basket (see § 44.3 – Page 166).
Controller SIC2695 allows to adjust (manual set-point before start-up) and control
speed of ScreenOne drive motor from DCS according to screen working
conditions and then to save power consumption.
Stock outlet from constant level box 08CP02 is routed to downstream process
(optional Post-Flotation)
An overflow pipe from constant box 08CP02 to Feed chest 07CPA08 enables
ScreenOne operation at constant rating (in flow and pressure), whatever the
production variations.

44 OPERATION
44.1 Start-up
Normal start-up operation will lead to start Loop 2 fine screening after Post-
Flotation.
It is possible to start Fine Screening independently of the Post-Flotation,
recirculating back from constant level box 08CP02: this will lead to overflow Feed
Chest 07CPA08.
44.1.1 Fill the unit
Starting up the fine screening loop begins with the filling phase of the unit:
Basic conditions:
alarm Low
Low).
- Level control LIS9055 of water tank 10CE06 is not Low.
If not already running, start Loop 2 Continuous water pump 10PPC08.
Open ScreenOne sealing water valve SV-19382.
Start of ScreenOne cycle, whose first step is the filling phase (refer to specific
Function Chart). :
 Open reject valve FCV-7070 up-to its “X%" opening value. This
position must allow water filling with a moderate pressure inside
ScreenOne.
 Open water dilution valve FCV-7005 during a pre-set time (to be
adjusted at start-up, usually 30 seconds).
 Start of ScreenOne 08SC01 motor.
Note: The unit working in cycle automatically go over to the working configuration
at the end of filling time (controlled by timer set on start-up of the installation and
taking account of the size of the unit and of pressures and flow rates available in
the water circuits).

45.4 Post-Flotation area
Deinking cell feed
The stock coming from the Fine screening constant level box 08CPA02 is
pumped to flotation cell MAC through 1st aeration pump 09PPC01 connected on
water tank 10CE05 to ensure necessary dilution.
Flowmeter FIC8010 adjusts flotation stock feed flow.

Control valve FCV-8010 is the basis weight valve for 2nd loop of deinking line: its
opening fixes the production rate of Loop 2 in concordance with stability of level
in Bleaching Tower 07CPA01.
A chemicals injection (surfactant), connected at pump 09PPC01 suction, allows

adjusting post-flotation operation according to process conditions and required
efficiency.
1st aeration pump 09PPC01 feeds canister of injectors of the cell’s first stage, at
the pressure required (1,4 bars normally), and continuously measured by
transmitter PIS8055, to ensure air suction and mixing of bubbles in the stock.
The size of canisters depending on the construction, their throughput will only
depend on their inlet pressure. Each canister of injectors features:
 A stock inlet,
 An outlet for the stock/air mix,
 A washing water inlet to fill the canister of injectors during start-up,
shutdown or washing,
 An inlet for air injected into the stock and also used for the discharge to
sewer of the washing water.
The canister’s washing water connection nipples have automatic isolating valves
used during the various operating sequences.
Stock aerated in this way flows in the first stage in the top of the cell where
separation of air bubbles from the stock takes place.
Multi-aeration principle
Stock is then taken up in a pipe in the central barrel to flow out at the cell’s lower
part so as to feed the 2nd aeration.
2nd aeration pump 09PPC03 feeds 2nd canister of injectors, identical to the
previous one.
Hand valve MV-8038 at the pump discharge enables to adjust the inlet pressure
of the 2nd aeration canister of injectors (pressure is continuously measured by
transmitter PIS8045). Stock flows in the cell at a level lower than the one of the
previous stage.
Stock will circulate in the same way for the subsequent aeration steps:
- 3rd aeration pump 09PPC04.
- 4th aeration pump 09PPC05.
POST-FLOTATION
Page 170/265

Accept constant level box
After the last aeration stage at the lower part of the cell, stock goes up to
constant level box 09CP08 at a higher level than the top of the cell. Thus the cell
is statically and steadily pressurized and floated stock flows out freely.
From this constant level box, stock is routed by gravity to a further process stage.
Constant level box can also send the stock back to the suction of 1 st aeration
pump 09PPC01.
This recycling flow is adjusted by HIC8005 during normal operation (where
recirculating flow is to be set between 0 and 15% maxi of Flotation design flow).
Moreover a parallel bigger pipe, equipped with On/Off Valve AV-8006, allows to
recirculate back all flotation accept flow from constant box 09CP08 if needed by a
transitory phase (for example adjustment on start-up or an eventual incident).
This configuration of circuit enables Post-Flotation operation at constant rating,

whatever the production in downstream process.
The flow through injectors being set by the inlet pressure required for their proper
operation, the flow through the cell is firm.
Due to its principle and inner construction, the Primary flotation cell (MAC)’s
production is only fixed by the feed pump. The other aeration pumps can run or
be turned off without affecting the production flowing through the cell. They only
affect stock quality insofar as their role is just limited to aerating stock via the
injectors.
Deinking cell foam
MAC cell 09CEV02 foam level is regulated by level controller LIC8090 with
PIS8090 (refer to regulation principle in Kadant Function Charts).
Post-Flotation cell MAC 09CEV02 is equipped with a foam washing device:

 A water injection controlled by flow regulation loop FIC8080 enables to
“wash” ink foam collected at cell top part and then allows to recover
residual stock fibers that could be hung on foam bubbles.
 Resulting excess flow coming out from 1st stage is recycled to 1st
aeration pump 09PPC01 suction through flow-meter FFIC8015. Of
course this excess flow is directly proportional to additional washing
flow FIC8080.
Foam is discharged through piping at the cell’s lower part. This piping is fitted
with control valve LCV-8090, ensuring both level control in the cell and relaxing of
foam, which is thus discharged as liquid to sludge tank.

Foam tank 09CPA06 and foam recirculation to Prime MAC
Post-flotation deinking foam is extracted from tank 09CPA06 with volumetric

pump 09PPV07.
As already explained for Pre-Flotation, Loop 1 Prime MAC 03CEV02A gives the
opportunity to re-introduce a part (adjustable) of deinking foam in order to reduce
This re-introduction flow is to be adjusted with manual valve MV-3154 (on
transfer pipe to Prime MAC feed pump 03PPC01 suction) and in relation with
required pulp final quality.
Pump 09PPV07 is equipped with a variable speed motor in order to adapt

extraction flow to Foam tank 09CPA06 level LIC8095.
Moreover pressure controller PIC8100 allows to send to sludge treatment the

remaining foam flow, which is the difference between foam flow extracted from
cell 09CEV02 MINUS flow sent back to Prime MAC (through valve MV-3154).
In order to avoid running of volumetric pump 09PPV07 with all outlet valves
closed (that could cause definitive damage to pump mechanism), manual valve
MV-3154 must be equipped with an adjustable limit switch, to be set very
carefully on start-up with a minimum opening (maybe 10%) compatible with
volumetric pump highest operating pressure.
Then this limit switch will be used to interlock the start of volumetric pump (See
Interlock N° 177Page 175).
And for more security, in case of operation with no recirculation to Prime MAC
(On/Off valve AV-3140 closed), control valve PCV-8100 is forced open and all
Post-Flotation foam is transferred to sludge treatment (transfer flow is then
directly regulated by tank level control LIC8095 acting on pump 09PPV07 speed
controller SC8095).

50.2 Disc Filter basics
Same description as Disc Filter in Loop 1 (See § 30.2 – Page 115).

Page 181/265
23/09/2004
50.3.1 Desaeration chest 10CPA01
Stock accepted from Post-Flotation is accepted by gravity from Level Box

09CP08 into Desaeration chest 10CPA01.
Desaeration chest 10CPA01 is operated at constant level via level controller

LICS9005 with control valve LCV-9005 on feed pipe to Disc Filter 10FDQ04.
By this way, Disc Filter operates at the same production than Post-Flotation
accept.
Desaeration chest 10CPA01 allows the air remaining in stock pulp to escape and
is equipped with an agitator 1AG02.
50.3.2 Loop 2 Disc Filter
The Loop 2 Disc Filter 10FDQ04 thickens the pulp flow accepted from Post-
Flotation system, from 1% to 10-12%.
Pulp pH on feed to Loop 2 Disc Filter is measured by transmitter AIR9010 and

displayed/recorded.
Brightness on feed to Loop 2 Disc Filter is measured by transmitter AIR9015 and

displayed/recorded.
The Disc Filter main drive speed controller SIC9025 maintains the level LIC9020
in Disc Filter 10FDQ04 vat.
This is the only control on the Disc Filter:

- When the hydraulic through-put fed to the disc filter increases, leading to
increase the pulp level in the vat, the Disc filter drive speed increases.
- When the hydraulic through-put fed to the disc filter decreases, leading to
increase the pulp level in the vat, the Disc filter drive speed decreases.
The filtrate supply to the Disc Filter showers, from its own Clear filtrates for both
oscillating showers and Knock-off showers, is switched on by actuating On/Off
valve AV-9035.
Pressure indicator PI9030 on filtrates supply line to Knock-off shower ensures the
adequate pressure is available.
The respective shower flows are adjusted by setting of manual valves.
Transmitter PI9045 measures vacuum available for Disc Filter operating in Clear
filtrate barometric leg.
A speed switch SS9040 supervises the Repulping Screw 10FDQ04b rotation.
The accepted 10-12% stock feeds downstream process (i.e. Reductive

Bleaching).

Page 182/265
23/09/2004
The Shower pump 10PPC07 ensures the cleaning & unplugging of the Disc Filter
sectors wire, using the Disc Filter's own clear filtrates.
50.3.3 Loop 2 water distribution
The Loop 2 Filtrate distribution system ensures the filtrate requirements for Loop
2 are covered.
Clear Filtrate tank 10CE06

This tank receives:
 Clear filtrate extracted from Disc Filter 10FDQ04.
 Complement water from loop 3 water pump 13PPC09 (through control
valve LCV-9050).
 Loop 3 filtrates (through On/Off valve AV-9085) from water pump
13PPC11, used for Loop 2 water tanks filling on start-up and for transfer
of Clarified Water (when Micro-Flotation is fed with Loop 2 filtrates).
This tank level is measured by LIS9055.

 Loop 2 Continuous water pump 10PPC08
 Loop 2 Periodic water pump 10PPC09
 Disc Filter showers pump 10PPC07
 Filtrates transfer pump 10PPC10
In case deashing system is not activated (DNT washers 13LAV02 & 13LAV03 are
stopped), it is possible to operate Micro-flotation (free from DNT filtrate) with Loop
2 filtrates:
 Pump 10PPC10 transfers Loop 2 Clear Filtrates to Loop 3 tank
13CE07 with a flow regulated by level controller LIC13010.
 From Loop 3 clarified water tank 13CE08, pump 13PPC11 transfers
back clarified water to Clear filtrate tank 10CE06.
 Make-up water to Loop 2 water system is always made from pump
13PPC09 through level control valve LCV-9050.
A continuous overflow to Cloudy water tank 10CE05 allows a constant level of

water and then avoids pressure variations at connected pump suctions, and
transfers complement to downstream water tanks.
Cloudy Filtrate tank 10CE05

This tank receives:
 Cloudy filtrate extracted from Disc Filter 10FDQ04
 Loop 2 Screw-press 11KR01 filtrates
 Overflow from Clear Water tank 10CE06
Tank 10CE05 is used for:

 Dilution of Post-flotation feed pump 09PPC01
 Feed of dilution pump 10PPC13
 Loop 2 Periodic water pump 10PPC09

Page 183/265
23/09/2004
Loop 2 Periodic water pump 10PPC09 can be fed either from Clear filtrate
10CE06 (through manual valve MV-9024) or from Cloudy filtrate tank 10CE05
(through manual valve MV-9053).
The selection between these 2 possibilities is to be done according to water
balance in Loop 2 involved by line operation process.
In case of Loop 1 or Loop 2 accept pulp recirculation to chest 07CPA11 during

transitory phase (like start-up for example), pump 10PPC13 is used to decrease
transfer stock consistency from 10 to 4-5%.
 Loop 1 pulp dilution is made through On/Off valve AV-6160 at MC
pump 05PMC10 outlet (See § 35.6.2 – Page 137).
 Loop 2 pulp dilution is made through On/Off valve AV-6155 at MC
pump 14PMC03 outlet (See § 55.4.3 – Page 197).
Level of tank 10CE05 is controlled by loop LIC9050 acting on control valve LCV-
9050 on make-up water from Loop 3 Filtrates pump 13PPC09, falling in Clear
Filtrate tank 10CE06 and overflowing to tank 10CE05.
This configuration enables Low level LIS9055 to call also for water complement in
case of water deficit water tank 10CE06.

- Loop 3 filtrate tank 13CE08 level LIC13005 is not Low
If water tanks are empty (for example on first start-up):
Open On/Off water valve AV-9085 for filling of Clear filtrate tank 10CE06 with
Loop 3 filtrates provided by pump 13PPC11.
Cloudy filtrate tank 10CE05 in cascade is filled through overflow.
As soon as water tank levels are up to Low level, all connected water pumps can
start if required by the sub-systems or in manual by operator.
54.1.2 Disc Filter 10FDQ04 start
Basic conditions:
- Clear Filtrate tank 10CE06 level LIS9055 is not Low.
- Downstream Heating screw 14VIT01 is running.
For start-up of sequence, the clear filtrate seal chamber should be filled with
either clear filtrate or fresh water up to the maximum level of this chamber so that
overflow occurs into the clear filtrate tank.
Start Loop 1 Disc Filter Repulping screw 10FDQ04b.
Start Disc Filter Shower Pump 10PPC07 and open its delivery valve AV-9035.
Start Oscillating shower drive 10FDQ04c.
Start Loop 1 Disc Filter Main Drive 10FDQ04.
When running status obtained for both, set Disc Filter status to READY.

54.1.3 Production
The process bloc starts in production with the Post-flotation bloc (Once the stock
is bled downstream of the constant level box 08CP02 via control valve FCV-
8010).
Feed pump 10PPC03 is allowed to start with Disc Filter READY status.
When feed pump 10PPC03 is started:

Put the Disc Filter trough level controller LIC9020 in AUTO Mode.
54.2 Operation
 Monitoring of HP shower water pressure.

 Monitoring of operating vacuum

Page 192/265
23/09/2004
54.3 Shutdown
The process bloc stops in production with the Post-flotation bloc by closing of the
control valve FCV-8010 outlet of the constant level box 08CP02.
Loop 2 Disc Filter stops in production with stop of feed pump 10PPC03.
54.3.2 Disc Filter 10FDQ04 stop
Reset Disc Filter status to Not READY
Stop the disc filter main motor after time delay of 10 minutes to ensure that as
much of fiber is recovered as possible from the liquid in the trough.
Stop Loop 2 Disc Filter Oscillating shower drive 10FDQ04c.
Stop Disc Filter Shower Pump 10PPC07 and close its delivery valve AV-9035.
Stop the stock repulper screw drive after time delay of 5 minutes, to ensure that
stock does not remain in the screw trough during stoppage.
CAUTION!
It would be preferable to operate the Disc Filter system for 5-10 minutes with just
showers water for internal cleaning prior to any medium duration stoppage (up to
4 hours).
For stoppages exceeding 4 hours, it would be preferable to clean the internal

system and have the trough drained fully. The contents of the trough should be
drained very slowly and gradually to avoid physical damage to the internal
components of the trough and rotor due to build-up of vacuum caused by
excessively rapid draining (siphon effect). Use of wire cleaning showers to clean
the filter fabrics is recommended. The inside of the hood and the showers pipes
should also be cleaned with water hose under pressure.
All Filtrate pumps are stopped when no more required by any depending sub-
systems (Loop 1 & Loop 2 dilutions, Micro-flotation feed if required through pump
10PPC10).

55.2 Heating screw
The heating screw is a simple system, operating at fixed speed.

It is composed by:
-A metallic body with steam injectors.
-A conveying screw
The Heating screw is a simple system, operating at fixed speed, with steam
injection into the pulp agitated & transported by the screw.
55.3 MC Pump basics
The MC-Pump system consists of
- A stand pipe for Pump feeding with thick stock.
- The MC Pump itself, with a special pulp impeller that fluidises the pulp.
REDUCTIVE BLEACHING
Page 195/265
23/09/2004
55.4 Reductive bleaching description
55.4.1 Heating screw
The Heating screw is a simple system, operating at fixed speed, with steam
injection into the pulp agitated & transported by the screw.
It receives the 10-12% accept pulp from Loop 2 Disc Filter 10FDQ04.
Heated pulp temperature is measured and controlled by TIC15005 by actuating

valve TCV-15005 on 3 Bars g Steam, to achieve a constant temperature of pulp
at the outlet of Heating Screw.
Heating temperature set-point (i.e. steam quantity to be injected) must be

adapted according to type of chemicals used and to pulp required temperature
during reaction in order to reach adequate conditions for the best reductive
bleaching efficiency.
A minimum pulp flow is required to enable steam injection by temperature

controller TIC15005, to avoid excessive steam exhaust. MC-Pump level controller
LICS15020 output is used for this signal: if level controller output is less than
10%, the steam valve TCV-15005 is forced closed.
Heating Screw 14VIT01 rotation is monitored by speed switch SS15010 allowing

detecting an eventual incident in this transfer screw.
Heated pulp falls by gravity from the Heating Screw to the MC Pump stand-pipe
14CE02.
55.4.2 MC pump and reactive tubes
This paragraph is to be adapted and/or corrected in case of another supplier.
Dilution water is injected to the stand pipe base through control valve LCV-15020
and to the top part with hand regulated command HIC15015.
The level in the MC Pump Stand-Pipe is controlled by LICS15020 operating on

MC pump motor speed controller SIC15025.
In addition, LICS15020 controls valves LCV-15020 & HCV-15015 dilution valves

to Stand-pipe, opening the level dilution valves when the level rises.
In Manual mode, Top dilution valve HCV-15015 and bottom dilution valve LCV-
15020 can be opened at any time.
REDUCTIVE BLEACHING
Page 196/265
23/09/2004
In Auto mode, Top dilution valve HCV-15015 is opened at operator defined

opening set-point + controlled value related to deviation of LICS15020 from set-
point.
Bottom dilution valve LCV-15020 is normally closed, and opens to operator set
value when LICS15020 measure is greater than 30% above set-point and MC
Pump is running.
The MC-Pump 14PMC03 act as a Chemical mixer for the required chemicals,
dosed from Chemical Distribution system proportionally to the pulp tonnage.
Reductive Bleaching agent can be injected into the base of the stand pipe near
suction flange of the MC pump or through the chemicals injection connection on
the MC pump casing.
The proper dosing proportional factor is checked by observation of the pH value
measured off-line on pulp sampled from MC-Pump delivery or with final pH
measurement AIR15070 at Storage Tower 14CPA04 outlet.
The MC Pump 14PMC03 pumps the stock forward to:

 Reactive tubes 14BLT07A and 14BLT07B feeding downstream
process (dispersing system).
 Or Recirculation chest 07CPA11.
The pulp bleaching proceeds at medium consistency and reactive tubes are
doubled (in parallel) in order to get a sufficient residence time of the pulp to
achieve a proper bleaching efficiency.
55.4.3 Recirculation chest 07CPA11
During transitory phase (like on start-up or during an eventual incident in

downstream process), a recirculation line from MC pump 14PMC03 outlet
(through On/Off valve AV-9015 open and with On/Off valve AV-15035 closed)
allows recirculation of Loop 2 Accept stock back to intermediate chest 07CPA11.
This pulp transferred to chest 07CPA01 is diluted in line with filtrates from pump
10PPC13 and through On/Off valve AV-6155 in order to decrease consistency
from 10 to 4-5%.
When operator activates loop 2 accept stock recirculation to Dump chest, a

sequence automatically:
 Starts filtrate pump 10PPC13
 Opens filtrate valve AV-6155
 Opens by-pass valve AV-9105 and closes opposite valve AV-15035
 Sets in Auto mode level controller LIC6007
 Enables start of agitator 07AG12 and extraction pump 07PPC13
(motors start depend also on interlocks).

Page 205/265
23/09/2004
60.3.1 Dispersing system
Note: The following description for Dispersing system must be checked and
completed by supplier.
Screw Press 11KR01
Screw-Press 11KR01 thickens the 10-12% pulp (from Reductive Bleaching via
MC pump 14PMC03) to 30-35% consistency required for Dispersing.
By-pass lines on each reactive tube outlet (through On/Off valve AV-10130 for
tube 14BLT07a and AV-10125 for tube 14BLT07b) can send pulp directly to
downstream storage tower 12CPA03.
By this way, deinking line can operate without this dispersion step.
Screw press mechanism is equipped with a packing box and monitoring alarms
(FS10095 and PS10100) helping to protect internal elements.
Screw press drive is equipped with a variable speed motor controlled by

SIC10010 and screw rotation is monitored by speed switch SSL10011 allowing
detecting an eventual incident.
The filtrates extracted from the Screw press flow by gravity to Loop 2 Cloudy
Filtrate Tank 10CE05.
The 30-35% consistency stock accepted from the Screw press feeds directly Plug
Screw 11KR02.
Reductive chemicals can be injected in Screw Press outlet chute if required for a
best pulp bleaching efficiency.
Screw press speed control & Torque controller:
Inputs:
Process value: Taken from the frequency converter and scaled to Nm.
Set point: Operator controlled parameter.
SP Ramp: 5 Nm per second.
Auto/Manual: Default “Auto”.
PV filter: 4s. Filter to flatten the process value signal.
To be applied either in frequency converter
or in control system.
Maximum output: This is to be set at 100%.
Minimum output: To be set at 0%.
Maximum SP: 50%.
Minimum SP: 0%.
HHAL: 70%.
HAL: 60%.

Page 206/265
23/09/2004
Output:
Output from controller forwarded frequency converter speed reference input.
Function:
Process value < Set point makes output decrease.
Process value > Set point makes output increase.
Plug Screw 11KR02
Plug screw transfers Screw Press outlet pulp to Shredder 11KR03.
Plug screw rotation is monitored by speed switch SSL10012 allowing detecting

an eventual incident.
Temperature there is measured by TIC10015.
Shredder 11KR03
Shredder 11KR03 transfers pulp from Plug Screw to Preheater 11KR04.
Shredder rotation is monitored by speed switch SSL10013 allowing detecting an

eventual incident.
Shredder mechanism is equipped with a packing box and monitoring alarms

Part of Steam required from Preheater heating controller TIC10020 can be

injected there.
Preheater 11KR04
It receives the 30-35% accept pulp from upstream shredder.
Preheater mechanism is equipped with 2 packing boxes and monitoring alarms

Preheater 11KR04 rotation is monitored by speed switch SSL10014 allowing

detecting an eventual incident in this transfer screw.
Temperature & Steam pressure control
Heated pulp temperature is measured and controlled by TIC10020 and PIC10020

by actuating valve PCV-10020 on Steam supply pipe, to achieve a constant
temperature of pulp at the outlet of Preheater.
Steam injection is adjustable through manual valves on each steam pipe
connected to shredder 11KR03 and Preheater 11KR04.
Heating temperature set-point (i.e. steam quantity to be injected) must be

adapted according to type of chemicals used and to pulp required temperature

during reaction in order to reach adequate conditions for the best reductive
bleaching efficiency.
Interlocks:
 If emergency stop is activated (broken circuit), the valve is forced
closed.
 If the pulp feed is shut off, the steam valve is forced closed.
 If the temp. transmitter on the plug screw cone indicates high temp, i.e.
approx. 10°C above normal pulp temp), the valve is forced closed.
Operation:
 Pressure controller PIC10020 is the primary controller.
 Temperature controller TIC10020 is the secondary controller.
 Pressure controller operates the valve by its output value.
 Temp. controller output controls the set point value of the pressure
controller as a cascade control.
 Pressure set point range: 0-1,5bar.
 Temp. set point range: 90-120ºC.
Auto:
 Temp. Process Value < Set Point makes steam pressure Set Point
bigger.
 Pressure Process Value < Set Point makes valve output increase.
 Temp. Process Value > Set Point makes steam pressure Set Point
smaller.
 Pressure Process Value > Set Point makes valve output decrease.
Infeeder 11KR05
Infeeder 11KR05 transfers pulp from Preheater to Disperser 11KR06.
Infeeder screw rotation is monitored by speed switch SSL10016 allowing

detecting an eventual incident.
Infeeder mechanism is equipped with a packing box and monitoring alarms

Disperser 11KR06
The pulp introduced into the Disperser is subjected to shear forces between
stator & rotor.
Disperser mechanism is equipped with a packing box and monitoring alarms

Lubricating system for Disperser 11KR06 drive is equipped with an oil cooler
monitored by alarms FS10075 and PS100870.
The thick stock in Disperser is diluted in outlet zone in concordance with set-point
consistency of controller NIC10045, acting on control valve NCV-10045 on Loop
3 filtrates provided through pump 13PPC18.

Page 208/265
23/09/2004
Water dilution and Disperser stock outlet pressures are controlled respectively
through PIC10055 and PIC10060 with their associated control valves on
corresponding pipe.
Disperser 10KR06 outlet stock falls directly in storage tower 12CPA03.
Backpressure control
Interlocks:
 Forced open 100% if steam control valve is closed.
 Valve output must be min. limited (approx. 20-30%).
 Set point range: 1.5-2.0 bar
Operation (auto):
 Backpressure Process Value < Set Point makes valve output decrease.
 Backpressure Process Value > Set Point makes valve output increase.
Consistency control NIC10045 (after Disperser)
Interlocks:
 Control valve forced closed when Disperser motor is not running.
 Should have a mini limit of 20% when in automatic mode.
Operation:
 Set point range: 9-11%
Auto:
 Consistency Process Value < Set Point makes valve output decrease.
 Consistency process Value > Set Point makes valve output increase.
Disc gap control (adjustment of operating gap from computer)
Interlocks:
 Gap set point to be limited to 0,10mm minimum gap.
 Gap set point to 1,20mm if steam control valve closes.
Disc gap adjustment from computer shall not work when:

 Switch for disc gap control is in local position on the Panel.
 Hydraul/Lubepump is not running.
 Discs is in rear position.
Disc gap set to rear position (solenoid MV1 energized) if:

 Emergency stop or service switch is activated (broken circuit - valid only
for computer).
 Disc gap - backwards (panel/computer) is selected.

Page 209/265
23/09/2004
Operation:
 The control loop is fed with an analog input (4-20 mA=0-10 mm). The
controller sets one of two digital outputs that increases or decreases the
disc gap. (Energizing two relays in local panel).
Auto:
 Disc gap process value < set point gives a constant signal at increase -
output.
 Disc gap process value > set point gives a constant signal at decrease -
output.
NOTE!
 A span of ±0.03 mm should be used to avoid that the controller is
continuously searching for the right gap.
 If the respond from the process value into the controller is too slow, a
recommendation is to give pulses of 0,5 seconds to the output, when
gap reaches ±0.20 mm from set point.
60.3.2 Storage tower 12CPA03
The thick stock falls from Disperser into Storage tower 12CPA03 at consistency 5
to 10% according to controller NIC10045 set-point.
Bleaching tower 12CPA03 level is measured by LIS11045.
production set-point (through flow controller FIC8010 regulating stock feed to
Post-Flotation area) or on Loop 3 production set-point (through flow controller
FIC12005 regulating stock feed to Washing).
Modification of Loop 2 production set-point will have also a repercussion on

Bleaching tower 07CPA01 level and will lead operator to adjust Loop 1 set-point
(through Pre-Flotation feed controller FIC3020).
The Storage tower must have a minimum level of filtrates or stock prior to feeding
thick stock - to prevent block agitator or extracting system. This requires pre-
filling on filtrates prior to start the line. Operator does this filling manually from
DCS.
Storage tower 12CPA03 is equipped with a horizontal agitator 12AG04.
Pump 12PPC05 extracts the stock from Storage tower to downstream process:
 Through On/Off valve AV-11110 to Washing system if required by Loop
3 feed controller FIC12005.
 And / Or through On/Off valve AV-11105 directly to Final Storage tower
14CPA04 if required by Loop 3 feed controller FIC15095.
(See more detailed Description in § 65.4.1 - Washing area feed and by-pass –
Page 228).

Page 210/265
23/09/2004
Tower extracted pulp consistency is controlled by NRC11050 and adjusted with

addition of Loop 3 Filtrates (from pump 13PPC18) in tower 12CPA03.
Most part of this dilution flow is directed (via control valve QCV-11055) to Tower
12CPA03 bottom diluting zone in order to reduce consistency to around approx.
5%.
Remaining dilution water flow is directed (via control valve NCV-11050) to suction
of pump 12PPC05 where consistency reaches more finely 4-4,5%.
valves (QCV-11055 and NCV-11050) opening values and then the sharing of
total dilution flows (usually 70% of total flow through valve QCV-11055 and 30%
through NCV-11050).
Extraction pump 12PPC05 outlet pressure is controlled via PIC11060 and

adjusted with control valve PCV-11060 or On/Off valve AV-11100 on 2 parallel
recirculation pipes back to Storage tower bottom.
- The smallest diameter valve PCV-11060 will be enabled with controller
PIC11060 during normal operation (when pressure recirculation flow is
limited).
- The biggest diameter On/Off valve AV-11100 will be used during transitory
phases (like start-up) requiring a bigger pressure recirculation (even a total
recirculation).
During start-up, the recirculation at the bottom of the tower is turned on in order
to reach an appropriate consistency before feeding downstream chest 12CPA06:
 On/Off valve AV-11100 opens.
 Control valve LCV11070 on transfer pipe is forced closed.
When desired consistency is obtained; and stabilized, the full recirculation is shut
down:
 On/Off valve AV-11100 closes
 Pump 12PPC05 outlet pressure is controlled by PIC11060 in AUTO
mode and through control valve PCV-11060.
 Pulp is sent downstream.
Brightness of extracted pulp from Tower 12CPA03 is measured by transmitter

AIR11065 and displayed/recorded.

65.2 Washer basics
65.2.1 DNT Washer Description
The washer thickener DNT 200 is a high-speed double nip thickener machine,
using a synthetic wire for efficient removal of ink, clay and other contaminants.
The DNT consists of an enclosed endless wire running on two cantilevered rolls
(driven couch roll, breast roll with grooves), driven by pulley and V-belts with
variable frequency drive, with the following elements:
- The stock inlet connection to DNT & pressurized flow distribution Head-box;
- Breast roll, grooved;
- Couch roll, smooth, driven by V-belt & variable speed drive;
- Oscillating Stock discharge doctor;
- Accept stock discharge screw conveyor & drive;
- Oscillating HP shower (needle-30 Bars);
- Fixed MP shower (Fan-8 bars).

65.3 DNT Washer operation
The DNT Washer consists of a flow distribution nozzle, two rolls and a synthetic
wire, which acts as the dewatering media.
The DNT Washer operates by feeding stock from the flow distribution nozzle into
the nip formed by the breast roll and the wire. The stock is fed at a high velocity
into this nip for effective dewatering and high capacities for a relatively small roll
width.
The breast roll is grooved to provide high capacity and also eliminates the need
for the doctor blade.
After the feed nip, the wire continues around the breast roll where the stock
continues to be dewatered. As the wire separates from the breast roll, a stock
mat has been formed.
This stock mat travels with the wire to the couch roll where it undergoes
additional dewatering.
The stock mat is then doctored into the repulper screw conveyor where it is
removed from the DNT Washer at approximately 10-12% consistency.
A cowling encloses the DNT Washer and allows the white water from the unit to
be collected and discharged at one central location.
This cowling also eliminates splashing from the unit and makes the operation
clean and safe. White water consistency from the DNT Washer depending on the
ash content and fiber length on the stock and operating conditions.
The wire is guided by two V-guides resting on both tending & drive sides of the
couch & breast rolls. The wire tension is adjusted mechanically by hand-wheel &
gear screw jack on tending side and checked locally on load-cell, with low & high
tension alarms.
The MP Shower (Fan) & HP oscillating high-pressure (needle) shower clean the
wire continuously after thick stock discharge.
Applications for the DNT Washer include deashing of stock for tissue production
as well as dispersed ink removal for tissue, newsprint, and fine papers.

65.4.1 Washing area feed and by-pass
From the Storage tower 12CPA03, pump 12PPC05 feeds the stock chest
Chest 12CPA06 level is controlled by LIC11070 commanding the stock quantity
required upstream the system via control valve LCV-11070 on stock feed pipe.
Moreover, washing area design capacity allows a complementary pulp

production, transferred from parallel deinking line (called “Existing VOITH line”)
and collected in transfer chest 12CPA06.
Transfer chest 12CPA06 serves also to homogenize finely stock extracted from
Bleaching step (in consistency, air content, …).
From this chest, extraction pump 12PPC08 transfers pulp to Washing area at
consistency ~4% regulated by controller NIC11075 and addition of Loop 3
filtrates from dilution pump 13PPC09.
This transfer flow is adjustable through Flowmeter FIC12005.
Control valve FCV-12005 is the basis weight valve for 3rd loop of deinking line:
its opening fixes the production rate of Loop 3.
As transmitter NIC11075 also continuously measures consistency at this point,

then instantaneous washing feed production (P3-12005) can be calculated and
checked (and corrected if necessary through FIC12005 set-point) at any time by
operator.
As Ash content in final deinked pulp is proportional to production ratio sent to

washing system (and then to filtrate flow to be treated by Micro-flotation), a by
pass-line from pump 12PPC05 delivery (through On-Off valve AV-11105) sends
stock directly to Final storage tower 14CPA04.
This by-pass flow is adjustable through Flowmeter FIC15095 and corresponding
production is calculated with stock consistency measured by NRC11050.
The sum of Washing feed and By-pass productions gives the stock quantity to be
processed by the 2 upstream deinking loops.
Operator checking is required to set both productions to values compatible with
Loop 1 & Loop 2 design operating capacities (by checking levels stability in
Towers 07CPA01 & 12CPA03).
65.4.2 Washing feed pump 13PPC01
DNT washers are fed from pump 13PPC01 connected on Loop 3 filtrate tank
13CE08.
DNT Washers feed pulp consistency has also a direct influence on ash content
removal in final stock and is adjustable through inlet flow controllers FIC1015 (for
13LAV02) and FIC12076 (for 13LAV03).

Page 228/265
23/09/2004
In fact: Water dilution flow (from pump 13PPC01 suction) is the subtraction of
thick stock feed flow FT-12005 from DNT total inlet flow (sum of measurements
FT-12015 and FT-12076).
Then DNT inlet stock consistency value can be obtained from thick stock
consistency measured by NT-11075.
DNT washers can operate with a feed stock consistency comprised between 1
and 3%.
DNT washers feed pump 13PPC01 is equipped with a variable speed motor
controller SIC12008 in order to adapt delivery flow to operating conditions,
varying in a large margin (due to feed production and DNT inlet consistency
variations – See above).
Moreover the possibility is kept to feed a third DNT (in a parallel deinking line) if
required by Paper Machine settings (in case of improved production and/or
quality).
65.4.3 DNT washers
Washers 13LAV02 & 13LAV03 thicken the 1-3% stock flow coming from Loop 2
storage tower 12CPA03.
The DNT Washer head-box inlet pressures are measured by PI12020 (for
13LAV02) & PI12080 (for 13LAV03).
The DNT Main drive motors are speed controlled - at fixed speed manually set
from DCS by operator, through SIC12031 (for 13LAV02) & SIC12091 (for
13LAV03).
Each washer fixed medium pressure shower is provided with water from pump
13PPC05 (at pressure 8 bars) and through On/Off valves AV-12040 (for
13LAV02) & AV-12100 (for 13LAV03).
Each washer oscillating High pressure shower is provided with water from pump
13PPC06 (at pressure 25 bars) and through On/Off valves AV-12045 (for
13LAV02) & AV-12105 (for 13LAV03).
HP showers oscillations are:

 Started by commands HS-12050 (for 13LAV02) & HS-12110 (for
13LAV03)
 Monitored by Oscillation alarm signals XS-12050 (for 13LAV02) & XS-
12110 (for 13LAV03).
Washer doctors oscillations are:

 Started by commands HS-12025 (for 13LAV02) & HS-12085 (for
13LAV03)
 Monitored by Doctor Oscillation alarm signals XS-12025 (for 13LAV02)
& XS-12085 (for 13LAV03)

Page 229/265
23/09/2004
Each transversal wire movement is monitored by position detectors on Drive side

& Tending side, transmitted to DCS by Wire position alarms.
Alarms ZS-12030 (for 13LAV02) or ZS-12090 (for 13LAV03) stops the
corresponding DNT Main drive.
Each Washer wire tension is monitored by local load cell with remote alarms WS-
12065 (for 13LAV02) and WS-12125 (for 13LAV03) signal to DCS.
These Low tension alarms stop the corresponding DNT Main drive.
Each Washer Breast roll rotation is monitored by speed switches SSL-12060 (for
13LAV02) and SSL-12120 (for 13LAV03) alarm on Breast roll.
This alarm while DNT drive is running indicates a slackening of the wire tension
or V-belt drive incident, and stops the corresponding DNT Main drive.
If necessary, water lines from “FRESH WATER” to each Washer inlet (via On-Off
valves AV-12013 for 13LAV02 & AV-12075 for 13LAV03) and to washer extractor
screw (via On-Off valves AV-12035 for 13LAV02 & AV-12095 for 13LAV03) allow
washing in manual the equipment after its shut-down (for example before a
several days stop or before a maintenance intervention).
Washing filtrates flow to Micro-Flotation feed tank 13CE07.
Each accept stock screw conveyor rotation is monitored by speed switches SSL-
12055 (for 13LAV02) and SSL-12115 (for 13LAV03).
These alarms indicate a screw conveyor drive incident, and stop the
corresponding DNT Main drive and screw conveyor drive.
Washed pulp is extracted from washer outlet screw and falls into stand pipe
14CP10.
65.4.4 Transfer MC pump 14PMC11
This paragraph is to be adapted and/or corrected in case of any other supplier.
Stock at 10-12% falls by gravity from Washers 13LAV02 and 13LAV03 Repulping
screws into the MC Pump Stand-Pipe 14CP10.
The level in the MC Pump Stand-Pipe is controlled by LICS15090 operating on

MC pump motor speed controller SIC15075.
In addition, LICS15090 controls valve LCV-15090 on dilution water to Stand-pipe

provided by PM Water.
The MC Pump 14PMC11 pumps the stock to Final Storage tower 14CPA04.

65.4.5 Final Storage tower 14CPA04
Storage tower 14CPA04 collects accept pulp from washer (via MC pump
14PMC11) and pulp from washing by-pass (through controller FIC15095).
Storage tower 14CPA04 level is measured by LIS15040.
production set-point (through flow controllers FIC12005 for washing feed and
FIC15095 for washing by-pass).
Modification of Loop 3 production set-point may have also a repercussion on
Loop 2 and Loop 1 production set-points.
The Storage tower must have a minimum level of filtrates or stock prior to feeding
thick stock - to prevent block agitator or extracting system. This requires pre-
filling on filtrates prior to start the line. Operator does this filling manually from
DCS.
Storage tower 14CPA04 is equipped with a horizontal agitator 14AG05.
Pump 14PPC06 extracts the stock from Storage tower to Paper Machine area.
This transfer flow is adjustable through flow controller FIC15060.
Tower extracted pulp consistency is controlled by NRC15045 and adjusted with

addition of PM Filtrates.
Most part of this dilution flow is directed (via control valve QCV-15050) to Tower
14CPA04 bottom diluting zone in order to reduce consistency to around approx.
5%.
Remaining dilution water flow is directed (via control valve NCV-15045) to suction
of pump 14PPC06 where consistency reaches more finely 4-4,5%.
valves (QCV-15050 and NCV-15045) opening values and then the sharing of
total dilution flows (usually 70% of total flow through valve QCV-15050 and 30%
through NCV-15045).
Extraction pump 14PPC06 outlet pressure is controlled via PIC15055 and

adjusted with control valve PCV-15055 or On/Off valve AV-15080 on 2 parallel
recirculation pipes back to Storage tower bottom.
- The smallest diameter valve PCV-15055 will be enabled with controller
PIC15055 during normal operation (when pressure recirculation flow is
limited).
- The biggest diameter On/Off valve AV-15080 will be used during transitory
phases (like start-up) requiring a bigger pressure recirculation (even a total
recirculation).
During start-up, the recirculation at the bottom of the tower is turned on in order
to reach an appropriate consistency before transfer to Paper Machine:
 On/Off valve AV-15080 opens.
 Control valve FCV-15060 on transfer pipe is forced closed.

Page 231/265
23/09/2004
When desired consistency is obtained; and stabilized, the full recirculation is shut
down:
 On/Off valve AV-15080 closes
 Pump 14PPC06 outlet pressure is controlled by PIC15055 in AUTO
mode and through control valve PCV-15055.
 Pulp is sent downstream.
Brightness of extracted pulp from Tower 14CPA04 is measured by transmitter

AIR15065 and displayed/recorded.
PH of extracted pulp from Tower 14CPA04 is measured by transmitter AIR15070

and displayed/recorded.

69.1.2 Production
The washing area starts with start of transfer pump 12PPC08 and opening of
control valve FCV-12005 on transfer pipe from chest 12CPA06.
Transfer chest 12CPA06 should have been first filled with pulp from Tower
12CPA03 extraction pump 12PPC05 (and/or with pulp transferred from parallel
VOITH deinking line).
Through interlocks associated agitator 12AG07, pump 12PPC08 and consistency
regulation NIC11075 will be enabled to start as soon as chest level LIC11070
reaches a sufficient level.

70.2 Microflotator PPM basics
70.2.1 Microflotator PPM Description
The Poseidon PPM Dissolved Air Flotator (DAF) is an open top separator
designed to clarify filtrates by removing suspended solids with dissolved air
generated micro-bubbles.
Poseidon PPM System Equipment
The Poseidon PPM consists of:
- A stainless steel parallelepedic-shaped tank, with nozzles as follows:

Inlet nozzle with mixing chamber, with
Flocculent injection nozzles;
Connection from pressurization system;
Clarified filtrates accept nozzle;
Filling nozzle;
Connection to Poseipump & pressurization system,
Top surface sludge discharge connection;
Settled sludge discharge front (Purge);
Settled sludge discharge bottom (Purge).
- An internal POSEIPACK assembly of plates, designed to intercept low

buoyancy particles and promote flock build-up;
- A mechanical Sludge Thickener on top of the unit with gear drive & finger
paddles.
- A mechanical sludge layer discharge scraper, pushing the sludge layer into
the discharge trough, with mechanically adjustable speed;
- Pressurization POSEIPUMP, with local pressurization control panel,

pressurization pipe and pressure relief valve.
70.2.2 Microflotator PPM operation
The adequate flocculation chemistry is added to the filtrate flow to be treated,

prior to introduction into the PPM unit.
The incoming filtrates are pumped to the unit's mixing chamber, where a
recirculating flow of dissolved air containing filtrates is mixed to the incoming
filtrates flow.
The dissolved air containing filtrate flow is obtained by recirculating of part of the
accepted filtrate flow of the unit through the pressurization & air introduction
system - with special POSEIPUMP and pressurization/air introduction control
panel.
The pressure release on the dissolved air containing filtrate flow generates micro-
bubbles, which form in and adhere to the suspended solids & flocks.

Page 253/265
23/09/2004
At the inlet of the unit, heavy non-floatable particles settle to the bottom of the
unit in the sludge cone. A drainage pipe at the unit's lower point enable to remove
depositing heavy particles by periodic flushing.
The particles & flocks surrounded by micro-bubbles rise to the surface, and are
separated according to their buoyancy as follows:
 Big fast-rising particles rise directly to the unit's open surface,
 Small slow-rising particles are intercepted in the Poseipack collection
plates within the unit, where the plate design build-up flock size until
the increased buoyancy allows them to reach the unit's open surface.
The particles & flocks accumulating at the surface of the unit constitute the
sludge layer on the unit. A rotating scraper removes the thickened sludge to a
hopper.
Poseidon Operation
The operation of a PPM is typically set at constant & controlled hydraulic filtrates
feed flow rate.
However several sequences trim this continuous operation (see associated
Function Chart separately supplied).
The recirculating flow is adjusted on start-up to a set Poseipump delivery

pressure; the Air pressurization pressure & flow are set with the local panel
pressure reducer and flow-meter. The system operates in these fixed conditions.
A proper recirculation & aeration is controlled by observation of the flow obtained
at the discharge of manual vent valve from pressurization tube to the top of the
Poseidon unit (milky aspect).
Sludge discharge is by gravity. Sludge consistency is adjusted by the controlled

PPM unit level set point (lower level leads to higher sludge consistency).
Attention: It is required to have PPM vat with level above the plates BEFORE
FEEDING the unit, to avoid damage to the plates related to direct impact of
incoming water flow on the plates. The plate level is defined in interlocks as LOW
level VALUE.
It is forbidden to empty the PPM vat by either accept valve or Flushing valves
WARNING
with presence of thick sludge on the PPM unit surface. The weight of the Sludge
on the plates could lead to damage to the plates. The Sludge should FIRST be
removed from the unit by operating without feed for a while, or temporarily
increasing the level.
Special attention will be paid also to the possibility of leaking/passing valves,

which can lead to significant level decrease during a shut. Good practice is to
remove all sludge from system on each shut by increasing PPM500 unit
operating level prior to stopping PPM Feed pump. This operation may be
included in Group-stop.

Filtrate water tank 13CE07

 Microflotator feed pump 13PPC10 (See next paragraph describing
Microflotation sub-system)
 Pump 13PPC19 used to transfer Loop 3 filtrates to parallel “VOITH”
deinking line in case corresponding Microflotator is underused. (In that
case, same clarified water flow must be transferred back to Clarified
Water tank 13CE08).
Case 1: Microflotation processing Loop 3 filtrates

This tank receives all the filtrate water from DNT washer.
Tank level is monitored by controller LIC13010 acting on valve FCV-13015 on

Microflotator feed pump 13PPC10 delivery pipe.
Thanks to this regulation, Micro-flotation flow operating is the same than Washers
filtrates extraction flow.
Case 2: Microflotation processing Loop 2 filtrates

Washers are not in use and this tank receives filtrates transferred from Loop 2
with pump 1PPC10.
In this case Tank level is monitored by controller LIC13010 acting on valve LCV-
13010 on feed pump 10PPC10 delivery pipe.
Thanks to this regulation, tank 13CE07 calls for make-up the same flow as set to
Microflotator feed flow FIC13015.
Clarified water tank 13CE08

This tank receives:
 Clarified water accepted from Microflotator 13POS12.
 PM Clarified water make-up ensuring water complement to DIP line and
tank filling on start-up.
 Eventually clarified water from parallel “VOITH” deinking line if
simultaneously pump 13PPC19 transfers Loop 3 filtrates from tank
13CE07 to Microflotation in parallel “VOITH” deinking line.
The level is monitored by controller LIC13005 acting on valve LCV-13005 on

water complement pipe provided by PM Water filtrates.

 DNT washers feed pump 13PPC01
 Loop 3 water dilution pump 13PPC09
 Dispersing system dilution pump 13PPC18
 Water pump 13PPC11 used for transfer of clarified water to Loop 2
Clear Filtrate tank 10CE06 during start-up (tank filling) or in case Micro-
Flotation is fed with Loop 2 filtrates from pump 10PPC10.

Page 256/265

70.3.2 Micro-flotation
Microflotators 13POS12 is fed by pump 13PPC10 at a flow controlled by

Flowmeter FIC13015 (through an operator set-point or according to feed tank
level controller LIC13010).
PH of feed filtrates is measured by transmitter AIR13020 and displayed/recorded.
Filling the Poseidon unit is done by opening from DCS On/Off valve AV-14050 on
Fresh Water header.
The filling water inlet is positioned between Accept valve & Poseidon vat; Filling
water enters the Poseidon vat from the accept side, under the Poseidon plates.
Chemicals are added to help the work of Microflotator. (Chemicals flow should be
adjusted in proportion with Micro-Flotation filtrate feed flow, continuously
measured by FIC13015):
 Coagulant connected to suction of Microflotator feed pump 13PPC10.
 Flocculent in the pipeline feeding Microflotator (through several pipes
equipped with manual valves to be adjusted on start-up according to
Micro-Flotation required efficiency).
Microflotation circulation pump 13PPC13 is recycling to Microflotator inlet a small

part of clarified white water mixed with compressed air.
Recirculation water pressure is continuously measured by PIS14025 and is
adjusted on start-up by manual setting of the Pressure relief valve at the end of
the pressurization tube.
The Air injected into the recirculated flow can be checked in the local panel with
the Air rotameter, and is adjusted in flow by intervention in the panel on the Air
adjustment valve.
Opening in the field of manual valve on Vent line from pressurization tube to
Poseidon vat allows to check the proper air content of the Pressurized filtrate
recirculated flow. This manual vent valve should remain slightly open to avoid
accumulation of air in the pressurization tube.
Accept clarified water from each Microflotator flow to clarified tank 13CE08.
The level into Microflotator is kept constant with level controller LICS14045 and
associated control valve LCV-14045 connected on clarified water outlet pipe.
The Level in the Poseidon vat is used together with Sludge Scraper speed to
adjust the thickness of the sludge mat on the top of the unit: lower operating level
& lower operating speed gives thick mat, and gives higher consistency. The limit
is appropriate discharge of the sludge mat.
A temporary increase in level can be used to remove all sludge from the
Poseidon unit's surface, either by opening Filling valve or by setting accept valve
to manual.
Heavy sludge settling in each Microflotator is periodically removed from the vat
bottom via On/Off valves AV-14030, AV-14035 and AV-14040.

Page 257/265
23/09/2004
Foam is continuously removed from the surface of Microflotator by a scrapping

system.
Microflotation sludge
Sludge is collected in sludge chest 13CPA14 equipped with a vertical agitator

13AG15.
Extraction pump 13PPC16 is equipped with a variable speed motor controller

SC14060 in order to adapt delivery flow to sludge chest 13CPA14 level
LICS14060.
Using a Prime MAC concept in Loop 1 Deinking line gives the opportunity to re-
introduce a part (even the totality) of micro-flotation sludge, in order to reduce
This re-introduction flow is adjustable through Flowmeter FIC14065 on transfer

pipe to Foam tank 03CPA08, from which recirculated sludge is pump by
03PPV10 to prime Mac 03CEV02a feed pump suction.
Remaining sludge flow (subtraction of recirculation flow FIC14065 from pump

13PPC16 delivery flow) is sent to sludge treatment and controlled by pressure
controller PIC14070 with control valve PCV-14070 (giving a necessary counter
pressure drop for Flow control FIC14064 proper operation).
Operator checking is required to monitor sludge chest level LIC14060, and to

modify if necessary recirculation flow FIC14065 set point.
This will avoid setting a recirculation flow higher than sludge flow extracted from
Microflotator.

Low).
- Micro-flotation Chemicals ready
Starting up Loop 3 white water clarification and distribution begins with the filling
phase of the tanks and units.
If water tanks are empty (for example on first start-up), open the filling water
valve LCV-13005 from PM WATER header to fill Clarified water tank 13CE08.
74.1.2 Start up the Microflotator
Refer to associate Function Chart separately supplied by Kadant.
74.1.3 Production
As soon as water tank levels are up to Low level, connected water pumps can
start if required by the sub-systems.
Through interlocks, Micro-flotation area starts once filtrate come from DNT
washer (or when Loop 2 filtrates are transferred with pump 10PPC10 to tank
13CE07).

74.2 Operation

 Sludge and foam characteristics (no presence of fibers).
 Regularity of levels in Microflotators.
 Regularity of levels in water tanks.
74.3 Shutdown
In priority, refer to associated Function chart (supplied separately)
74.3.1 Micro-Flotation
Microflotation stops in production:

- With Loop 3 when no more filtrates come from DNT washer.
- Or when no more filtrates are transferred from pump 10PPC10 to tank
13CE07.
Increase the level in Poseidon to eliminate Sludge from Surface

- Force set-point for LICS14045 to 99%;
- Wait T=5 minutes;
Stop Feed to Poseidon

- Stop Poseidon feed pump 13PPC10
(Interlocks disable controllers FIC13015 & LICS14045, Coagulant &
Flocculent dosage)
- Wait for T=5 minutes, then proceed;
Close Air Injection (Close solenoid valve inside the pneumatic panel)
Stop Microflotation circulation pump 13PPC13.
Stop Microflotator sludge thickener & scraper drive.
74.3.2 Loop 3 water tanks
This stop sequence is the last one to be run on the Deinking line.
Each connected pump stops when no more required by depending sub-system.
