PULP INDUSTRY

• Over 50 systems for Kraft, sulfite and soda liquors. Pioneered the development of processing calcium based sulfite waste liquor in WI, using a channel switching lamella evaporator. The first plants were supplied to Consolidated, Rhinelander and Northern Pulp. Developed the first.
• Evaporation process for concentrating magnesium base sulfite red liquor for Weyerhaeuser Timber in Longview, WA. This plant was the first pulp mill to convert to a soluble base cooking liquor. Designed and installed the first successful evaporator system handling ammonia base sulfite red liquor for Puget Sound Pulp and Paper. At Kraft Pulping developed the first successful concentrator to produce 65% solids concentrate, by designing a special unit capable of processing a very viscous liquor. Designed the first mechanical vapor compression pulp mill evaporator for Rayonier’s plant at Grays Harbor.

RADIO ACTIVE WASTE

• Designed most of the waste decontamination systems that were installed in new nuclear power plants like Brown’s Jerry, Byron and Briadwood, Zion Con Edison, etc. Fabrication specification were very severe with N stamp requirements rigidly enforced. Also built units for Mitsubishi of Japan and Stein of France. Experience in designing and fabricating to both the Japanese Miti and the French Bureaux Des Mines codes.

CORN PRODUCTS AND VEGETABLE OILS

• Several installations in Decatur, Illinois for Staley’s and Corn Products Co., to process steep water. This liquor becomes very difficult to handle due to its rubber like nature when it gets thick. Supplied plants to VWR in Seattle for concentrating starch liquors.

SUGAR AND SALT

• Supplied systems to Morton Salt, Diamond Crystal Salt and Speckles Sugar. Much of the crystallization design concepts were established with the classic Manistee pans that were extensively used in both sugar and salt production.
