I need an equation to calculate the percent solids of weak black liquor in a paper mill. I have a micro motion flow meter installed that gives me the density and temperature. The percent solids is low (around 10 to 15 %).
One of the readings is:
temperature = 180.13F
density = 1.0490 g/ml
Thank you for your help. Here is some more information to clarify.
Currently the pulp is coming from the repulper and being heated with steam to 155F (condensate is not removed). It is then mixed with 55F chlorine dioxide and put in the bleaching tower. We do not have a measurement of the...
I don't remember how to do these calculations but I know they arn't very difficult. I am working on heating ClO2 for the bleach plant at a paper mill and we are looking at steam savings.
I have attached a diagram with the data that I know. The before temps are the way the system is now. The...
