Pulp & Paper Wastewater
Plate Settler Clarification for Pulp & Paper Mills
High-rate plate settler systems for fiber recovery, process water clarification, and effluent treatment in the pulp and paper industry.
Pulp & Paper Wastewater
The pulp and paper industry generates large volumes of wastewater with high suspended solids (fiber fines, fillers, coatings), BOD, and color. Plate settlers provide efficient clarification for both process water recovery and effluent treatment.
In whitewater recovery, plate settlers capture fiber fines and fillers for reuse, reducing raw material costs and wastewater loading. For effluent treatment, plate settlers combined with chemical conditioning achieve effective removal of TSS, color, and COD.
R+F plate settler systems for pulp & paper are designed for the high-volume, continuous operation demands of the industry, with robust sludge handling and automated operation.
Treatment Challenges & Solutions
Fiber Recovery
Recover valuable fiber fines from process water for reuse in the production process.
High Volumes
Handle the large wastewater volumes typical of pulp and paper manufacturing.
Color Removal
Chemical precipitation and plate settling for effective color reduction in effluent.
