The present invention relates to a digester for continuous cooking under raised pressure and temperature of fibre material in a vertical digester (1), where input of fibre material and cooking liquid takes place at the top of the digester, withdrawal of spent cooking liquor is carried out from at least one digester screening arrangement (1D) between the top and the bottom of the digester, and fibre material is fed out from the bottom (1C) of the digester, wherein the digester (1) is fitted with an additional digester screening arrangement (2) above the lowest screening arrangement (1B) of the digester so that the temperature in all the participatory cooking zones in the digester can be kept at essentially the same temperature level.

Digester having screening arrangement for isothermal cooking of fibrous

Method of continuously isothermally cooking of pulp

A screen system for a digester for continuous cooking under raised pressure and temperature of fiber material in a vertical vessel, where input of fiber material and cooking liquid takes place at the top of the digester, withdrawal of spent cooking liquor is carried out from at least one digester screening arrangement (1D) between the top and the bottom of the digester, and fiber material is fed out from the bottom (1C) of the digester, wherein at least one of said screening arrangements (1, 2) has at least one screen element (2A) of which the main configuration is circular and which is assembled by means of welding, and which is fitted into the digester shell by means of welding.

Screen system for a continuous digester

The present invention relates to a digester for continuous cooking under raised pressure and temperature of fibre material in a vertical digester (1), where input of fibre material and cooking liquid takes place at the top of the digester, withdrawal of spent cooking liquor is carried out from at least one digester screening arrangement (1D) between the top and the bottom of the digester, and fibre material is fed out from the bottom (1C) of the digester, wherein the digester (1) is fitted with an additional digester screening arrangement (2) located at less than about 1.5 meters above the lowest screening arrangement (1B) of the digester so that the temperature in all the participatory cooking zones in the digester can be kept at essentially the same temperature level.

Process for isothermal cooking pulp in a continuous digester

In a pulp digester for continuous cooking under raised pressure and temperature of fiber material in a vertical digester (1), input of fiber material and cooking liquid takes place at the top of the digester, withdrawal of spent cooking liquor is carried out from at least one digester screening arrangement (1D) between the top and the bottom of the digester, and fiber material is fed out from the bottom (1C) of the digester, and at least one screening arrangement (2) in the lower half of the digester, wherein at least one of said screening arrangements (1, 2) has at least one screen element (2A) of which the main configuration is of angular shape, preferably rectangular, most preferred square, having a screen face (3A) of which the total area is less than 1 m.sup.2, and which is attached to the digester wall (1A) in a manner to form a sealed volume (V) from which liquid only can be supplied and withdrawn via said screen face (3A) and an inlet and outlet (15) respectively which outlet penetrates the digester wall (1A).

Process for operating a digester

A screen system for a digester for continuous cooking under raised pressure and temperature of fibre material in a vertical vessel, where input of fibre material and cooking liquid takes place at the top of the digester, withdrawal of spent cooking liquor is carried out from at least one digester screening arrangement (1D) between the top and the bottom of the digester, and fibre material is fed out from the bottom (1C) of the digester, wherein at least one of said screening arrangements (1, 2) has at least one screen element (2A) of which the main configuration is circular and which is assembled by means of welding, and which is fitted into the digester shell by means of welding.
