There are two basic processes for thermal treatment of sludges. One, wet air oxidation, is the flameless oxidation of sludges at temperatures of 450 to 550 °F and pressures of about 1200 psig [pounds per square inch gage] The other type, heat treatment, is similar but carried out at temperatures of 350 to 400 ºF and pressures of 150 to 300 psig. Wet air oxidation reduces the sludge to an ash and heat treatment improves the dewaterability of the sludge. The lower temperature and pressure heat treatment is more widely used than the oxidation process. 3, record 1, English, - heat%20treatment%20of%20sludge

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.
