Description

A method and arrangement in a continuous pulp production process TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for extracting hydrolysate in a continuous cookingprocess for producing pulp. It furtherrnore relates to a prehydrolysis vessel system and to a hydrolysate extracting arrangement in a continuous cooking system for producing pulp.
BACKGROUND In some pulp production, for example in dissolving pulp production, a lignocellulose raw material is first subject to a hydrolysis before an alkaline cooking is performed. The hydrolysis is norrnally performed by adding steam or liquid to the lignocellulo se raW material.
During the hydrolysis the hemicellulo se, mainly C5 sugars, are degraded and released fromthe Wood. If the sugars should be extracted a hydrolysate comprising the dissolved sugarsneeds to be removed from a vessel Where the hydrolysis is performed before the pH ischanged and an alkaline cooking is performed. In the alkaline cooking process the dissolved sugars after the hydrolysis are broken-down to non-valuable components.
Handling of hydrolysate may be problematic due to its very sticky consistence and tendencyto create scaling for example in pipes, screens and on tank surfaces. Hydrolysate can beremoved through screens provided in the prehydrolysis vessel in a continuous cookingsystem. HoWever, due to the sticky consistence of the hydrolysate and its tendency to createscaling there Will be problems With scaling in the screens. Hereby the screens need to becleaned and the production efficiency may be decreased. In the Worst case the productioneven needs to be stopped during cleaning. Any need for cleaning and any interruption in production processes are of course negative.
SUMMARY An object of the present invention is to improve production efficiency in a continuous pulp production process.
A further object of the present invention is to improve hydrolysate extraction efficiency in a continuous pulp production system.
This is achieved by a method for extracting hydrolysate in a continuous cooking system for producing pulp and by a prehydrolysis vessel in a continuous cooking system for producing pulp and by a hydrolysate extracting arrangement in a continuous cooking system for producing pulp according to the independent claims.
According to one aspect of the invention a method for extracting hydrolysate in a continuous cooking process for producing pulp is provided, said method comprising the steps of: cooling a content in a prehydrolysis vessel of a continuous pulp productionsystem such that the content has been cooled down when the content arrives ata hydrolysis outlet of the prehydrolysis vessel on its way from an inletprovided in one end of the prehydrolysis vessel to an outlet provided in anopposite end of the prehydrolysis vessel; removing a hydrolysate of said content through the hydrolysate outlet of the prehydrolysis vessel, wherein said content in the prehydrolysis vessel is cooled to such a degree that the removed hydrolysate has a temperature between 70°C and 130°C .
According to another aspect of the invention a prehydrolysis vessel system in a continuous pulp production system is provided, wherein said prehydrolysis vessel system comprises: (a) a prehydrolysis vessel comprising: an inlet provided in one end of the prehydrolysis vessel for receiving a contentto be treated in the prehydrolysis vessel;an outlet provided in an opposite end of the prehydrolyses vessel; and a hydrolysis outlet; and (b) a hydrolysate extracting arrangement connected to the prehydrolysis vessel, said hydrolysate extracting arrangement comprising: a hydrolysate removing conduit comprising a prehydrolysis vessel connectorwhich is connected to the hydrolysate outlet of the prehydrolysis vessel; and at least one cooling device which is provided to the prehydrolysis vessel suchthat it can cool down a content of the prehydrolysis vessel such that the content has been cooled down when the content arrives at the hydrolysis outlet of the 2 prehydrolysis vessel on its way from the inlet of the prehydrolysis vessel to the outlet of the prehydrolysis vessel, wherein said cooling device is configured for cooling down the content in theprehydrolysis vessel to such a degree that a hydrolysate removed through thehydrolysate outlet has a temperature between 70°C and l30°C .
According to another aspect of the invention a hydrolysate extracting arrangement configuredfor being connected to and extracting hydrolysate from a prehydrolysis vessel in a continuous pulp production system is provided, said hydrolysate extracting arrangement comprising: - a hydrolysate removing conduit comprising a prehydrolysis vessel connectorwhich is arranged for being connected to a hydrolysate outlet of theprehydrolysis vessel; and - at least one cooling device configured such that it can be provided to theprehydrolysis vessel and such that it can cool down a content of theprehydrolysis vessel such that the content has been cooled down when thecontent arrives at a hydrolysis outlet of the prehydrolysis vessel on its wayfrom an inlet provided in one end of the prehydrolysis vessel to an outletprovided in an opposite end of the prehydrolysis vessel, wherein said coolingdevice is configured to cool down the content in the prehydrolysis vessel tosuch a degree that a hydrolysate removed through the hydrolysate outlet has atemperature between 70°C and l30°C .
Hereby a method and a system for extraction of hydrolysate in a pulp production system isprovided which is more effective and reliable than prior art systems. Thanks to the cooling ofthe hydrolysate before it is removed through a hydrolysate outlet of the prehydrolysis vesselthe tendency of the hydrolysate to create scaling, for example in the hydrolysate outlet whichcan be one or more screens, is much decreased. When cooling the hydrolysate the furfuralformation is reduced and also the lignin degradation is reduced. This will reduce the tendencyto build scaling. Furthermore the stability of the sugar solution is radically improved due tolowering the sugar degradation rate and a more effective sugar extraction from thehydrolysate can be provided. A more reliable process is provided thanks to less scaling andless need for cleaning of the system and a better sugar yield can be provided thanks to reduced sugar degradation.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figures la-ld are schematic illustrations of different embodiments of prehydrolysis Vesselsystems comprising a hydrolysate extracting arrangement connected to a prehydrolysis Vessel in a continuous cooking system according to the invention.
Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for extracting hydrolysate according to one embodiment of the inVention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Figures la-ld are schematic illustrations of different embodiments of prehydrolysis Vesselsystems la, lb, lc, ld comprising a hydrolysate extracting arrangement Sa, 3b, 3c, 3dconnected to a prehydrolysis Vessel 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d in a continuous cooking system accordingto the inVention. Some of the components are the same in all embodiments and Will also be given the same or corresponding reference numbers.
Common for all the embodiments is that the hydrolysate extracting arrangement 3a; 3b; 3c;3d comprises a hydrolysate removing conduit 7 comprising a prehydrolysis vessel connector 8which is arranged for being connected to a hydrolysate outlet 9 of the prehydrolysis vessel 5a;5b; 5c; 5d. The hydrolysate outlet 9 can for example be one or more screens provided in anenclo sing wall 21 of the prehydrolysis vessel. A reason for removing hydrolysate from theprehydrolysis vessel can be that the hydrolysate can be used in some way, for example forextraction of sugar. Another reason for removing the hydrolysate is that less alkali will beneeded in the next step of the pulp production process if at least some of the hydrolysate isremoved because the hydrolysate is acidic. Such a prehydrolysis vessel is a pressurized vessel.
The continuous cooking process of the invention can be a process for producing dissolving pulp.
The hydrolysate extracting arrangement 3a; 3b; 3c; 3d comprises furtherrnore at least onecooling device 1 la, 1 lb; 11b”; 11c, 11c”, 11c” °; 11d configured such that it can be provided tothe prehydrolysis vessel 5a; 5b; 5c; 5d and such that it can cool down a content of theprehydrolysis vessel such that the content has been cooled down when the content arrives atthe hydrolysis outlet 9 of the prehydrolysis vessel on its way from an inlet 13 provided in oneend of the prehydrolysis vessel 5a; 5b; 5c; 5d to an outlet 15 provided in an opposite end ofthe prehydrolysis vessel. A scraper 16 is often provided in the bottom part of theprehydrolysis vessel. The cooling device 1 la, 1 lb; 11b°; 11c, 11c°, 11c° °; 11d is configured tocool down the content in the prehydrolysis vessel to such a degree that a hydrolysate removedthrough the hydrolysate outlet 9 has a temperature less than 130°C . For example atemperature between 70°C and 130°C. In one embodiment of the invention the coolingdevice 1 la, 1 lb; 11b”; llc, 11c°, 11c° ”; 11d is conf1gured for cooling down the content in theprehydrolysis vessel to such a degree that a hydrolysate removed through the hydrolysateoutlet 9 has a temperature less than 120°C or between 70°C and 120°C and in anotherembodiment the cooling device 1 la, 1 lb; 11b”; 11c, 11c”, 11c” °; 11d is configured for coolingdown the content in the prehydrolysis vessel to such a degree that a hydrolysate removedthrough the hydrolysate outlet 9 has a temperature less than 110°C or between 90°C and 1 10°C.
The hydrolysate outlet 9 can be provided in the enclosing wall 21of the prehydrolysis vessel somewhere between the inlet 13 and the outlet 15 of the prehydrolysis vessel and can as mentioned above suitably be one or more screens provided in the enclosing wall. Thehydrolysate outlet 9 can be provided closer to the outlet 15 than the inlet 13 of the prehydrolysis vessel.
A norrnal temperature of the content in the prehydrolysis vessel 5a; 5b; 5c; 5d (i.e. before thecooling according to the invention) can for example be around l60-l80°C. At thattemperature the hydrolysate is very sticky and difficult to handle. For example heavy scalingis easily produced in components such as tank walls, tubes and screens coming into contactwith the hydrolysate. Hereby there are often problems related to scaling in equipment used forremoving the hydrolysate. The sticky consistence of the hydrolysate and its tendency toprovide scaling is probably due to furfural which is produced from the dissolved sugars andalso due to lignin. The furfural production is a function of time, i.e. longer exposure time ofsugars in such conditions leads to higher furfural concentration in the solution. Lignin contentalso increases during the hydrolysis time. Scaling consists much of lignin and furfuraltogether with sugars. Surprisingly it has been found that by cooling down the hydrolysate tofor example less than around l30°C or less than l20°C or less than ll0°C the stickyconsistence and tendency to provide scaling is greatly decreased and extraction of hydrolysisfrom a pulp production process can be much improved. Hereby also extraction of sugars froma hydrolysate can be improved. The positive effect of the cooling, i.e. the reduction of scaling,is surprisingly high also for relatively small temperature reductions. By cooling the contentdown before a hydrolysate is removed from the prehydrolysis vessel of a continuous pulpproduction system according to the invention a much more effective extraction of thehydrolysate will be achieved thanks to less problem with scaling. Hereby the system forcontinuous production of pulp can also be operated in a more effective way when the problem with scaling is reduced.
Furthermore in these types of cooking systems for producing pulp it is traditionally veryimportant to keep up the high temperatures of the material in order to avoid energy loss.Hereby it would not be obvious for a skilled person to adopt this solution to cool down thecontent in the prehydrolysis vessel before a hydrolysate is removed as elevated temperature is required for the alkaline lignin removal step after the hydrolysis.
Also common for all the embodiments as shown in Figures la-ld is that said at least onecooling device lla, l lb; llb°; llc, llc”, llc” °; lld is conf1gured such that it can provide a cooling effect to a content in the prehydrolysis vessel 5a; 5b; 5c; 5d in a cooling section 23 of said prehydrolysis vessel when the cooling device is provided to the prehydrolysis vessel. Thecooling section 23 is a length section of the prehydrolysis vessel, in which length section thehydrolysis outlet 9 is provided. Said length section is in one embodiment of the invention lessthan l/3 of a total length of the prehydrolysis vessel and in one embodiment less than 1/5 of atotal length of the prehydrolysis vessel. Said cooling section 23 is positioned closer to theoutlet l5 than to the inlet l3 of the prehydrolysis vessel. The cooling of the content in theprehydrolysis vessel 5a; 5b; 5c; 5d is suitably performed in the vicinity of the hydrolysateoutlet 9. The cooling section 23 can be defined as a length section of the prehydrolysis vesselwhich length section comprises a part of the enclo sing wall 2l and the space inside the enclo sing wall 2l within this length section. The hydrolysis outlet 9 is positioned within thislength section. The cooling is perforrned somewhere within this cooling section 23 and herebythe cooling is perforrned in vicinity of the hydrolysate outlet 9. The cooling can be perforrnedin a number of different ways and the cooling device can be embodied in a number ofdifferent ways which will be further described in relation to Figures la-ld. These differentcooling methods can also be combined in different ways which are all covered by this invention.
The removing of a hydrolysate from the prehydrolysis vessel 5a; 5b; 5c; 5d according to theinvention can comprise displacing the hydrolysate out through the hydrolysate outlet 9 byadding a liquid into the prehydrolysis vessel from a bottom part 25 of the prehydrolysisvessel. Therefore said prehydrolysis vessel 5a; 5b; 5c; 5d can comprise a liquid adding device27 which is conf1gured for adding liquid to the bottom part 25 of the prehydrolysis vessel fordisplacing cooled hydrolysate out through the hydrolysate outlet 9. The liquid that is addedcan be for example cooking liquor, such as white or black liquor and it can be added fromnozzles in the enclosing wall 2l in the bottom part 25 and/or from a central tube 27” providedinto the vessel through a bottom 26 of the vessel as shown in Figures la-ld. Such a liquidadding device 27 is norrnally provided in this type of prehydrolysis vessel for allowingtransfer of the material out through the outlet l5 of the prehydrolysis vessel. The central tube27” of the liquid adding device 27 is provided according to the invention for providing the further effect of displacing the cooled hydrolysate out through the hydrolysate outlet 9.
The hydrolysate extracting arrangement 3a; 3b; 3c; 3d can in some embodiments furthercomprise a sugar extracting arrangement 3l (only shown in Figure la, but it can be providedin all embodiments of the invention). The sugar extracting arrangement is connected to the hydrolysate removing conduit 7 and is arranged for extracting sugar from the hydrolysate. 8 Sugar extraction will be more effective compared to in prior art because of the lowertemperature of the hydrolysate. Sugar degradation reaction is reduced in the hydrolysatethanks to the lower temperature of the hydrolysate and a total sugar yield can hereby be improved.
Figure la shows one embodiment of a prehydrolysis vessel system la according to theinvention. A hydrolysate extracting arrangement 3a which is connected to the prehydrolysisvessel 5a comprises in this embodiment a hydrolysate removing conduit 7 and a coolingdevice l la. The cooling device l la is in this embodiment a liquid adding device which isconfigured for adding a liquid having a temperature between 20°C and l00°C or atemperature between 30°C and 80°C or a temperature between 40°C and 70°C to the contentof the prehydrolysis vessel 5a. The liquid can be for example water or washing liquid oranother liquid and should be provided to the prehydrolysis vessel 5a inside the cooling section23. The liquid can suitably have a pH around 7 or can be slightly acid or slightly alkaline. Inthis embodiment a liquid adding pipe 33a is provided to the prehydrolysis vessel 5a. Saidliquid adding pipe 33a is protruding into the prehydrolysis vessel 5a and has an outlet 34apositioned within the cooling section 23 and suitably closer to a central axis A of theprehydrolysis vessel than an enclosing wall 21 of the prehydrolysis vessel, i.e. centered withinthe prehydrolysis vessel 5a in vicinity of the hydrolysate outlet 9. The cooling device l la ofthe hydrolysate extracting arrangement 3a can therefore be connected to the liquid addingpipe 33 for providing a liquid into the prehydrolysis vessel for cooling the content of theprehydrolysis vessel. Hereby the content inside the prehydrolysis vessel 5a can be cooleddown in vicinity of the hydrolysate outlet 9 and a hydrolysate removed through thehydrolysate outlet 9 can have a lower temperature than without this cooling. The temperatureof the removed hydrolysate can be measured and a temperature of the liquid added throughthe liquid adding pipe 33 can be controlled such that a suitable temperature of the removedhydrolysate is achieved, such as for example less than l30°C or less than l20°C or less than ll0°C as discussed above.
Figure lb shows another embodiment of a prehydrolysis vessel system lb according to theinvention. A hydrolysate extracting arrangement 3b which is connected to a prehydrolysisvessel 5b comprises in this embodiment a hydrolysate removing conduit 7 and a coolingdevice llb, llb”. The cooling device comprises in this embodiment two parts. A first part llbcan be connected to a liquid adding pipe 33b provided to the prehydrolysis vessel 5b. Saidliquid adding pipe 33b is protruding into the prehydrolysis vessel 5b and has an outlet 34b 9 positioned within the Cooling section 23 and suitably closer to a central axis A of theprehydrolysis vessel than an enclosing wall 21 of the prehydrolysis vessel, i.e. centered withinthe prehydrolysis vessel 5b in vicinity of the hydrolysate outlet 9. The second part 11b° of thecooling device is in this embodiment configured for adding a cooling liquid into theprehydrolysis vessel 5b through nozzels 37 provided around a periphery of an enclosing wall21 of the prehydrolysis vessel 5b. Said nozzels 37 are provided within the cooling section 23of the prehydrolysis vessel 5b, i.e. in vicinity of the hydrolysate outlet 9. Hereby a coolingliquid can be both added into the prehydrolysis vessel 5b from the enclosing wall 21 and beadded to the content in the prehydrolysis vessel from a central place within the prehydrolysisvessel in vicinity of the hydrolysate outlet 9. Hereby the hydrolysate can be effectivelydisplaced and cooled down. Said nozzles 37 can be provided such that they direct a coolingliquid into the prehydrolysis vessel. Nozzles 37” can however also be provided within anouter compartment 38 which is provided outside the prehydrolysis vessel such that itsurrounds the screen 9 (the prehydrolysis outlet) provided in the enclosing wall 21 of theprehydrolysis vessel. Hereby cooling liquid can be added to the hydrolysate when it has beenremoved out from the prehydrolysis vessel through the screen 9 and when the hydrolysate is provided in said outer compartment 38.
In the embodiment as shown in Figure lb the hydrolysate extracting arrangement 3bcomprises further a hydrolysate circulation arrangement 39. The hydrolysate circulationarrangement 39 is conf1gured for circulating a part of the hydrolysate removed through thehydrolysate removing conduit 7 through a heat exchanger 41 for cooling it down to atemperature between 20°C and 100°C or a temperature between 30°C and 80°C or atemperature between 40°C and 70°C and adding the cooled hydrolysate to the content of theprehydrolysis vessel 5b through the first and/or the second part 1 lb, 11b° of the coolingdevice. In another embodiment the cooling device may comprise only one of the first andsecond parts 11b, 11b°. The hydrolysate circulation arrangement 39 hereby connects thehydrolysate removing conduit 7 with the first and/or second parts 1 lb, 11b° of the coolingdevice through a heat exchanger 41 and transfers a part of the removed hydrolysate from thehydrolysate removing conduit 7, through the heat exchanger 41 and to the cooling device 1 lb,11b° for adding it to the cooling section 23 of the prehydrolysis vessel 5b when thehydrolysate extracting arrangement 3b is connected to the prehydrolysis vessel 5b. Thecooling provided by the heat exchanger 41 to the circulated hydrolysate can be controlled in dependence of a measured temperature of the removed hydrolysate. As discussed above a temperature of the removed hydrolysate should be controlled to be less than l30°C or less than l20°C or less than ll0°C.
Recirculation of the hydrolysate may be advantageous because no additional liquid fromoutside the system need to be added into the prehydrolysis vessel for providing the coolingand hereby unnecessary dilution of the hydrolysate is avoided. However in some processes itmay be suitable to add some extra liquid as shown in the embodiment in Figure la. Forexample hydrolysis extraction yield may be improved by the addition of some extra liquid. Itmay be suitable to have a system where both these altematives can be utilized in combination or independently. One such system is shown in Figure lc.
