In the world of pulp and paper processing, efficiency and reliability are key to ensuring smooth operations and optimal chemical recovery. One essential component in achieving this is the use of random packings, which play a crucial role in mass transfer processes such as gas scrubbing, absorption, and chemical recovery systems. At Pallchem, we provide high-performance industrial packing designed to enhance efficiency, durability, and sustainability in harsh industrial environments.
The Role of Random Packings in Pulp Processing Pulp and paper mills rely on random tower packings in various applications, including:
1. Gas Absorption & Scrubbing
During pulp production, gases such as sulphur dioxide (SO₂), hydrogen sulphide (H₂S), and chlorine (Cl₂) need to be effectively removed from exhaust streams. Scrubber packing facilitates efficient gas-liquid contact, ensuring that harmful emissions are captured and neutralised, improving air quality and compliance with environmental regulations.
2. Chemical Recovery & Bleaching
The chemical recovery cycle in kraft pulping involves stripping and absorption processes, where random column packings assist in maximising caustic soda and chlorine dioxide recovery. This ensures that valuable chemicals are reused, improving cost efficiency and reducing industrial waste.
3. Evaporation & Condensation
In black liquor evaporation, packing materials enhance heat and mass transfer, optimising concentration for efficient chemical recovery. Additionally, they improve performance in industrial condensers and stripping columns, leading to higher operational efficiency and reduced energy consumption.
