3. Preamble to the description: The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.
FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of pulp filtration. More particularly, the present invention relates to pulp filtering methods and filtration equipment.
BACKGROUND
Filtering the pulp from the slurry is a vital process that has to be performed in the paper and pulp industry. Wherein various types of pulp filters which include but not limits to disc filters, drum filters, folded thickeners, etc., used to perform said filtering of said pulp from said slurry. Whereas more specifically in case of said disc filter said filtering performed by means of a plurality of vacuum negative pressure-driven segments mounted on a rotary hollow drum or a rotor for solid-liquid separation of white-water recovery and a paper pulp thickening. In this process of said solid-liquid separation of white water recovery and said pulp thickening with great versatility depends on the configuration of different processes with the articulation of components to said process configured in order to process the variety of slurry to produce the output with an assortment of ingredients along with increased performance and quality of said pulp mat or thickening of pulp and also reduce the consumption of energy required to deliver the desired amount of pulp within the specified time. Whereas in the case of conventional design, a dimpled or mesh kind of segments and a funnel with a square end mounted on a hollow drum or centre shaft or rotor that is rotated by means of an external operator. In this configuration and design, said slurry allowed to flow over said segments in order to differentiate the water and pulp. In said conventional sector design as said slurry comes in contact with said straight dimpled segment with a bag said slurry filtered into water and pulp in a manner said pulp shall deposit over said bag and the remaining water that has to pass over said straight sector and said deposited pulp knocked off by means of knocking off configuration in order to transfer said processed pulp as an intended output and clean said segments to commence next filtering cycle.
However, in the case of said conventional design of said filtering devices said intended or finished output can be of only one type which includes but not limits to a pulp with a short type of fiber or said pulp output with a long type of fiber only. As said conventional designs are configured in accordance with capabilities to process only specific input application types which includes but not limits to slurry with either short fiber or slurry with the long type of fiber. Wherein in case of any alternation of said fiber type in said filtering device type can lead into filtration of said fiber as an impurity and direct to a rejection section or can consider as an inappropriate input to left as an unprocessed material. Whereas, said incapability to process all kinds of slurry can cause a plethora of limitations which include but not limits to said fiber loss, non-processing of input, blockage of said filter bag pores due to unintended input, articulation of turbulent flow that lead to an unintended vibration to increases filtering stresses and load to catastrophic failure. Moreover, said application adapted approach of filtering process increases the demand of configuration of plurality of said application-oriented filtering devices that increases the filtering cost for said pulp and paper manufacturing process as well as can cause into abruptly surge in lead time for said filtration process with frequent maintenance requirement in order to decrease the efficacy and efficiency of not only said filtering process but also for said pulp and paper manufacturing system.
Hence, there is a technical gap exists that required to be fulfilled by employing a universal filtering device that can process the plurality of filtering options with optimum performance and alleviate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
