| 20120325421 | CIRCULAR UTILIZATION METHOD IN PULPING AND PAPERMAKING PROCESSES WITH STRAW - A circular utilization method in pulping and papermaking processes with straw Primary pulp is obtained by digesting straw raw material according to the ammonium sulfite method. Concentrated black liquor is extruded from the primary pulp; paper pulp and diluted black liquor. The concentrated black liquor and the diluted black liquor are mixed, and a contaminated condensate is obtained. A residual concentrate or the concentrated black liquor is used for preparing a fertilizer. The contaminated condensate is mixed with one or more of the waste material obtained from stock preparation, a crop byproduct or organic waste, and substrate or fertilizer is obtained by fermenting the nitrogen source of the contaminated condensate or ammonium sulfite, or using the contaminated condensate for desulfurizing flue gas. Ammonia and flue gas are reacted to obtain the ammonium sulfite as a digestion agent; and water from recycling is used in corresponding phases of the pulping process. | 12-27-2012 |
| 20130284390 | IN-LINE DRAINER WITH SHAPED SCREEN SLOTS - An in-line drainer or liquid separator for draining liquid from a moving black liquor slurry stream having a screen basket mounted in the internal chamber of the in-line drainer. The screen basket includes slots to retain solid particles of the moving black liquor slurry stream within the black liquor slurry stream flow chamber and block the solid particles from entering the liquid collection chamber. The slots each have a curved corner edge adjacent a surface screen basket facing the black liquor slurry stream flow chamber. | 10-31-2013 |
| 20140262094 | SHEET EDGE TRIMMING AND REMOVAL FROM A STRUCTURED PAPER FABRIC - The disclosure relates to a method for trimming unwanted edges from a moving paper web. The disclosure also relates to the trimming of unwanted edges while the web is traveling on a structured papermaking fabric. The method uses a water nozzle having a diameter of 0.02″ or less. The method also includes the removal of the unwanted edge trimmings to a trim chute through the use of moving air, for example, an air knife. The disclosure also relates to an edge trimming apparatus. | 09-18-2014 |

| 20090277598 | Nut Cracker - The present invention relates to a device and a method for increasing the yield, as well as for enabling an increase in productivity and an increased amount of production, and at the same time to improve purification of process water and waste water, respectively by decreasing the waste water flow and the amount of pollutants in the waste water. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20110186254 | ENERGY SAVING PAPERMAKING FORMING APPARATUS SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR LOWERING CONSISTENCY OF FIBER SUSPENSION - The present invention is directed to an apparatus used in the formation of paper. More specifically the present invention is directed to an apparatus, system, and method for lowering the consistency or degree of density of fiber suspension on the forming table, and improving the quality and physical properties of the paper formed thereon. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110303378 | METHOD FOR CONTAMINANT REMOVAL IN PAPER PRODUCTION - The present invention relates to a process for controlling deposits in a paper making process, more particularly to a process comprising the use of talc for controlling deposits in a paper making process with talc. One aspect of the invention is contacting talc with a white water stream at one or more locations within the paper making process after separating pulp from a pulp-containing stream and before introducing the re-circulating the white water stream to one or more of a pulper, a thick-stock, a thin-stock, a dilution process, a shower, a storage vessel, a blending process, and a digestor. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20130233502 | SHEET FORMING UNIT FOR PRODUCING A MATERIAL WEB AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SHEET FORMING UNIT - A sheet-forming unit of a papermaking machine includes a headbox which outputs a suspension jet and an inner fabric and an outer fabric, which in each case form a loop. A forming element is arranged within the loop of the inner fabric and guide rolls and a white-water box are arranged within the loop of the outer fabric. The inner fabric and the outer fabric form a gap for receiving the suspension jet and jointly wrap around the forming element at least partially in a wraparound region. A machine-wide guide element is arranged in the wraparound region within the loop of the outer fabric and/or, in the region of at least one of the guide rolls of the outer fabric, a machine-wide guide apparatus is provided outside the chamber which is formed by the loop of the outer fabric. | 09-12-2013 |
| 20140110074 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING WATER LOSS IN A PAPER MILL - A method and system for reducing waste water from a paper machine system. The system involves splitting a flow output from a seal water tank. With a portion of the flow output being used to maintain a fluid level within a wire pit, and the balance being recycled to the system as substantially clean water. | 04-24-2014 |
| 20140262095 | WHITEWATER RECOVERY PROCESS - Whitewater recovery processes, and associated systems and components, are generally described. Certain embodiments relate to whitewater recovery processes in which ion exchange is used to remove dissolved ions from the whitewater, which can reduce the degree to which chemical additives are used in the process. In certain embodiments, flocculation and/or filter components can be employed to aid in the removal of suspended solids from the whitewater. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20160097158 | INTEGRATED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECYCLING WASTE MATERIAL - Integrated methods and systems for recycling waste material including waste paper are provided, the methods including treating the waste material in the pressure vessel at an elevated processing temperature and an elevated processing pressure to form a treated waste material including a substantially re-pulped waste paper; discharging the treated waste material from the pressure vessel; and thereafter separating and diluting the treated waste material to dilute a portion including the substantially re-pulped waste paper to from about 1% to about 20% by weight solids. The recovered paper pulp fraction and substantially fiber-free recoverable/recyclable plastics and metals may be further separated and used as feedstock in a variety of subsequent processes. | 04-07-2016 |
