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 />
