Whitewater Treatment
Clarifying Paper Machine Whitewater
Plate settlers clarify paper machine whitewater for fiber recovery and water reuse, improving efficiency and reducing fresh-water demand.
Whitewater Treatment
Whitewater is the fiber- and filler-laden water drained from the paper machine. Clarifying and reusing whitewater recovers valuable fiber and reduces fresh-water consumption.
Plate settlers clarify whitewater efficiently at high flow, returning clarified water to the process and concentrating recovered fiber for reuse. This closes water loops and cuts costs.
The compact, high-rate design suits the continuous, high-volume nature of paper machine operation.
Treatment Challenges & Solutions
Water Reuse
Returns clarified whitewater to the process to save fresh water.
Fiber Value
Recovers fiber and fillers for reuse, improving yield.
High Volume
