The initial dirt load in Fig. 9 was 1400<br />
ppm. The first significant increase in<br />
cleanness is obtained with Flotation I,<br />
whilst the second increase is with Dispersion<br />
I including reductive bleaching.<br />
Then follow noticeable reductions after<br />
Flotation II and Dispersion II.<br />
In Flotation III cleanness is improved<br />
from approx. 20 ppm to under approx.<br />
5 ppm. Overall the dirt speck area is<br />
reduced in this system from 1400 ppm to<br />
5 ppm, which represents a system effi-<br />

ciency of 99.65%. The process arrangement,<br />
as simulated in the <strong>Voith</strong> Sulzer’s<br />
trials, was exactly taken over for UK<br />

RCF (RCF = Recycled Fibre) plant in<br />
Kemsley as illustrated in Fig. 10. The<br />
following report by Peter Christmas, Operations<br />
Manager of UK <strong>Paper</strong>, Kemsley,<br />
describes the plant in detail.<br />
Summary<br />
The special features of the <strong>Voith</strong> Sulzer<br />
system are summarized as follows:<br />
