Clarification de la liqueur blanche. Il est important que la liqueur blanche utilisée pour la cuisson soit bien clarifiée afin d'éviter les problèmes de coloration avec les pâtes blanchies et d'éliminer les produits inertes du cycle de la liqueur. [...] Les boues de chaux de l'épaississeur sont évacuées à haute concentration (en général de 35 à 40 % de matières sèches) au moyen d'une pompe et lavées par dilution dans le matériel de sédimentation. On utilise parfois deux étages de dilution et d'épaississement. L'équipement servant au traitement des boues de chaux comporte également un réservoir de stockage qui permet d'alimenter régulièrement et sans interruption le filtre à boues qui déshydrate la boue à calciner.
