Résumé

A Thune SP23 screw press dewatering parameters were studied. The dewatering efficiency was affected more by the rotational speed and the pulp properties. The counter-pressure affects dewatering near the discharge end, and it was observed to influence the outlet consistency and filtrate flow rate of Kraft, which has much longer fibres and fewer fines compared to TMP and BCTMP. The feed stock freeness and consistency are very important variables to consider in the screw press performance. The freeness reflects the degree of drainage, which is an important parameter to consider when optimising the screw press, while the feed consistency is a parameter of the fibre-fibre contact degree. The pulp properties, especially the fines content and fibre flexibility are also two very important parameters that affect the screw press performance. This study was to provide an insight of the screw press performance and to show the complex effect of the operational parameters on the dewatering characteristics. Using three different pulps, Kraft and TMP softwood fibres and a BCTMP hardwood fibres, we have shown that the fines content and fibre properties are two dominant properties that should be highly considered when operating a screw press. © 2019 Institution of Chemical Engineers
