Avant de vidanger le lessiveur, on procède à une agitation par injection de vapeur («steam stripping, shake-up steaming») qui dure une quinzaine de minutes et qui facilite la vidange du lessiveur du fait du brassage de la masse de copeaux et de lessive. Cette pratique a toutefois l'inconvénient d'abaisser les propriétés mécaniques de la pâte. Une autre technique consiste à effectuer un brassage par recirculation («sluicing, cold blow») d'une partie de la liqueur résiduaire («black liquor, spent liquor»), évacuée par le robinet purgeur («blow-off cock, blow-off valve») situé au bas du lessiveur. La liqueur noire injectée dilue la pâte en même temps qu'elle la refroidit. 1, record 1, French, - brassage%20par%20recirculation

The horizontal belt washer... resembles the fourdrinier section of a paper machine. The pulp suspension is distributed from a headbox onto a traveling filter belt(e. g., plastic screen or steel band), and formed into a mat. Wash liquor is applied to the top side of the mat while displaced filtrate is removed from the underside of the belt by suction boxes. The washer is operated in a countercurrent mode, with the filtrate from one section being returned as wash liquor to the previous section, and ultimately as dilution for the headbox furnish. In common with the vacuum washer, displacement is the principal washing mechanism, but no mixing and reforming of the pulp mat is required between stages. A total of five displacement stages are easily accommodated along the belt. 1, record 4, English, - horizontal%20belt%20washer

Le principe d'un filtre à bande horizontale transportant un matelas fibreux soumis à plusieurs stades de lavage sur sa longueur n'est pas nouveau. Toutefois, son application pratique n'est devenue réalisable que tout récemment, par suite de la mise au point de matières de type plastique (élastomères) qui conviennent à la fabrication de toiles filtrantes souples, capables de résister à l'usure par frottement constant et aux produits chimiques chauds (...) On prétend qu'une installation d'encombrement relativement faible peut fournir un rendement supérieur, tout en assurant une exploitation simple; la clé de cette réussite réside dans un lavage entièrement réalisé par chasse d'eau, sans mélange entre les phases de lavage. 1, record 4, French, - filtre%20%C3%A0%20bande%20horizontale

Norden's Method. In view of the recent proliferation of new washing methods and the possibility of connecting different types of washing equipment in series, it would be desirable to assign an efficiency number to equipment which is independent of dilution factor. Norden's method has been widely applied toward this objective. It assumes that a washing stage can be likened to a number of countercurrent mixing stages connected in series. In an individual stage, the pulp and associated solids-containing liquor(from the previous stage) are mixed with lower-solids wash liquor(from the next stage) ;the stock is then rethickened to the original consistency and the separated stock and liquor are passed countercurrently to their respective next stages. 1, record 6, English, - Norden%26rsquo%3Bs%20method

Méthode Norden. Étant donné la prolifération récente de nouvelles méthodes de lavage et la possibilité de raccorder en série divers types d'installations de lavage, il serait souhaitable d'attribuer un indice de rendement aux appareils qui ne dépendent pas d'un coefficient de dilution. La méthode Norden a permis de réaliser un grand nombre d'applications dans la poursuite de cet objectif. Elle suppose qu'on peut assimiler à une phase de lavage un certain nombre de stades de mélange à contre-courant en série, où la pâte et la liqueur introduites à chacun des stades sont mélangées à l'eau de lavage provenant du stade suivant; la pâte est ensuite ramenée à sa concentration initiale, puis la pâte et la liqueur séparées passent aux stades suivants. 1, record 6, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20Norden

Pressure Washers. Rotary pressure washers... are similar in operation to rotary vacuum washers, but appear to offer some significant advantages. The pulp mat is formed on the surface of the cylinder and dewatered with the aid of pressure applied inside the washer hood(i. e., outside the cylinder), as opposed to vacuum inside the cylinder. Because the driving force for mat formation, dewatering and wash liquor displacement is outside the cylinder, the interior of the washer drum can be utilized for a more sophisticated liquor collection system; therefore, a single washer can be operated with two or three displacement stages. The higher pressure also allows higher-temperature wash liquor to be used and greatly reduces foaming. The closed vapor circulation system facilitates collection and treatment of odorous vapors. 1, record 9, English, - pressure%20washer

Les piles laveuses sous pression, de conception relativement récente, semblent offrir des avantages considérables par rapport aux piles laveuses classiques (...) Comme on fait appel à une pression externe positive pour la formation du matelas de pâte, l'épaississage et la chasse de la liqueur de lavage, l'intérieur du tambour laveur peut servir à l'installation d'un circuit plus complexe de récupération de liqueur. Ainsi, la pile laveuse peut fonctionner comme un appareil à plusieurs stades. La pression plus élevée contribue à réduire la formation de mousse et permet l'utilisation d'une liqueur de lavage plus chaude. Enfin, le circuit fermé de circulation de vapeur favorise la récupération et le traitement des vapeurs odorantes. 1, record 9, French, - pile%20laveuse%20sous%20pression

The pulping reaction is stopped by extracting the hot residual liquor through screens at the periphery into a flash tank that supplies steam to the steaming vessel. The hot liquor is displaced by upward-flowing "wash liquor"(usually brown stock washer filtrate) which is injected near the bottom of the vessel and moves countercurrent to the chip flow to provide "diffusion washing". The digester is usually provided with sufficient height between the wash liquor inlet and extraction screens to allow at least 1. 5 hours for the residual liquor to diffuse out of the chips. 1, record 11, English, - wash%20liquor
