Deinking Plant (Sir Rogelio Medina)

Notes.
♪ DIP 2 for tissue
3 loops for White Run,

 capacity limit
 target brightness and dirt count
Dirt Count
Raw materials : pulp thicker than usual – adjust beating time Commented [JTP1]: Check.
Flotation – efficiency and chemical dosage
Disperger & Kneading Machine : loading – increase set point
o disperger fillings : clearance – ↓ clearance, ↑ load Commented [JTP2]: Check.
Wire Press : pressing – reflected by consistency (30 - 35)
o ↑ consistency, ↑ disperger loading
Brightnesss
Raw materials
o already at lower limit brightness (Hydra) : problems to accumulate down the process
 e.g. initial brite of 70  +12 upon reaching Wire Press 2
Flotation – same with dirt count 
Bleaching – dosage
Steam – ≥ 70 °C
Retention Level – target soaking or curing time
Wire Press Loading : H2O dilutes H2O2 during bleaching
o 30 - 35 consistency
 ↓ H2O, better bleaching
Stickies
Raw materials
Pulping time : too long : even stickies are “pulped”
Chemical – stickies control – Trisodium phosphate
LCS – multiscreen or slot screen – efficiency
Wire Press 2 – HD tanks to PM 1 – efficiency – almost no filtrate
o Cell floater – clarifying of filtrate – coagulant & flocculant
Fiber loss
Rejection to
o sewer
o wire good overflowing
Filtrate overflow
Pump leaks
Total Suspended Matter (TSM)
o e.g. 5000 to 9000 – check wire

♪ Deinking ≈ washing of clothes – bright and clean
♪ dirty clothes ≈ exhaustion of raw materials
Role.

 To supply paper machines with good quality pulp

Significance.

 To produce low cost secondary fiber / pulp

 To help mother earth by using recycled waste paper
♪ Low consistency pulper – “D” shaped – continuous repulping
♪ High consistency pulper – local white ledger : 15 mins
– Brown : >30 mins, 3 tons
♪ Screen
Hydra Holes screen (2.2 mm) 1.4-1.6 mm for white
DIP 1 Slot screen (.25 mm) .15 mm : Production is compromised
DIP 2 (.2 mm) Quality is compromised

♪ Disperger – pagtatadtad – high wear and tear for brown

♪ Dewatering – pinapalipitan – Valveless filter
♪ Wire Pressing – pinipigaan – thickening
♪ Bleaching / Soaking – pagkukula – 4 hrs retention time – sunlight ≈ steam
♪ Trommel drum – oversized solids from screen – plastics
Powerpoint.
♪ Flotation

 Process that removes ink from fibers using combination of chemical and mechanical process.
 The stock is subsequently aerated at low consistency in a series of flotation cells causing the light
floes of ink particles to rise to the surface where they are removed.

♪ Centrifugal Cleaner

 Removes unwanted particles from pulp by combination of centrifugal force and fluid shear. Its
separates on the basis of density differences and particle shape.

♪ Screens
  Slots or holes used to remove contaminants that are larger than pulp fibers.

♪ Disperger

 Equipment with rotor and stator toothed disc, used to cut dirt in pulp to smallest particles.
 Also serves as a pulp refiner

♪ Dewatering

 Process of washing out of small ink particles.

 Also serves as a thickener prior to bleaching and kneading
♪ Bleaching/Soaking

 Is the process of improving fiber brightness (color), using steam and chemicals.
 Soaking tank where the bleaching process take place.
