Efficiency and control are key to the recausticizing process
The recausticizing process is the final stage in chemical recovery in a pulp mill. The goal is to achieve an efficient and controlled reaction between green liquor and lime to produce as much strong white liquor (NaOH) as possible with high purity for the cooking process and excellent lime mud filtration properties for the lime kiln.
High-quality white liquor and minimal losses
ANDRITZ recausticizing technology is central to the white liquor plant. It is responsible for producing high-quality, homogenous white liquor with minimum alkaline loss and waste. The fully automated recausticizing plant generates zero effluents. The equipment achieves high availability and reliability – making it the most cost-effective and environmentally sound technology for producing white liquor.
