Falling Film Pillow Plate Heat Exchanger for Heat Recovery Falling Film Evaporator
multiple-effect evaporator and concentrator
Evaporation plants are well-proven in installations around the world. There are a variety of configurations and models available – from pre-evaporators to multiple-effect evaporation trains – to accommodate even the most challenging pulp mill or effluent plant evaporation needs
The major advantage to multiple-effect evaporators is the utilization of proven lamella heating surfaces for high efficiency and reliability.

PAPER PULP BLACK LIQUOR
Black Liquor is a by-product of pulp from mills that make products from trees, such as paper. It is currently used to recover cooking chemicals and produce high-pressure steam used in the pulp and paper-making process. It is composed of different ingredients from these processes such as lignin, hemicellulose, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium sulfide (Na2S). The lignin compound in black liquor can be used to make biofuel but it can be expensive to produce and so fuel made from it is not very common.
However, and according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the future of using black liquor as fuel is promising and it is seen as the fifth most important fuel on earth!
Black liquor evaporation
Black liquor recovered from pulping contains 14-17% dissolved solids
These solids are composed of about 1/3 inorganic chemicals that were in the white liquor added to the digester
The remaining 2/3 consist of the organic chemicals extracted from the wood
Black liquor must be concentrated to above 60% solids so that it will burn without supplemental fuel
Basic process requirements
Efficient use of energy
Efficient separation of water vapor from black liquor
Proper separation of methanol, tall oil soap
Concentration of black liquor to 75-85% dry solids
Evaporation
Mission:
Evaporation of weak black liquor to separate water and create a combustible product-strong black liquor
The three main processes that occur in the evaporator are:
Black liquor+heat to Strong Black liquor + Water + Steam
Condensate + Steam to Clean + Dirty condensate + NCG
Black liquor to Black liquor + Soap (only softwood)
How to reach 80-85% dry solids?
Due to the high viscosity
MP-steam as heating medium
liquor temperature 175 ℃ in final concentrator
Liquor retention time
evaporator acts also as a LHT-reactor
Duplex construction material
high alkali content may cause Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC)
Benefits
Energy-efficiency for reduced costs
Highest dry solids liquors with maximum availability using crystallization technology
Cleanest reusable condensates using the minimum amount of steam
Lowest steam and electricity consumption
Self-cleaning
Tolerate even non-soluble scaling
