Wood Industry Wastewater Treatment
Pulp and paper processes require large amounts of water to operate efficiently. With this high amount of water comes large amounts of wastewater that requires a treatment system. With a proper wastewater treatment system, a plant can increase productivity while decreasing operational and maintenance costs.
Large amounts of total suspended solids (TSS) and organic wastes are produced as a byproduct from these plants with a large content of wastewater. Many particles of wood, oils, and paper fragments are prominent in the wastewater and need to be separated before the water can be moved to a downstream facility for further processing.
Pulp and Paper Wastewater Treatment Products
Roto-Sieve Drum Screens are a very effective and economical method to remove waste from pulp and paper production wastewater. Screening out organic and fibrous matter from the wastewater can drastically reduce the TSS and BOD levels in the effluent system and enhance the downstream wastewater treatment processing.
Our Roto-Sieve Drum Screens are designed and customized per application to effectively target what needs to be screened out of the wastewater and ensure a high capture rate. Roto-Sieve Drum screens use a perforated plate drum to optimize and effectively remove solids from wastewater. High TSS and BOD are effectively reduced which enhances and improves downstream treatment processes.
These screenings can be further dewatered and compacted using the Shaftless Screw Press. The press catches the screenings straight from the Roto-Sieve and compacts, dewaters, and transports the screenings.
If transportation is the only concern for the screenings, the use of our Shaftless Screw Conveyor fits the job. The conveyor optimally transports screenings or product to any desired location.
Lastly, our Sludge Heat Exchangers can provide cutting-edge energy recovery and sludge heating when used in processes for digesting pulp and paper processing wastes.
