GasSaver in Pulp Mill pH Control

GasSaver in Pulp Mill for pH Control

Application: The customer needed to lower the pH of their pulp slurry from 13 to 7. The pH was high due to a Caustic alkaline source. The flow of pulp was in excess of 100 GPM. The customer was concerned about gas usage efficiency and the time period required to achieve the targeted pH. The customer was concerned with the ability to clean the part. Mott Product/Solution: Mott took process information and sized a GasSaver based on the pH level, liquid flow rate, and the target time provided by the customer. We determined that the Industrial GasSaver would work best in this application. GasSaver Features/Benefits: In the GasSaver, the gas is introduced into the annulus around the porous metal element and passes through the porous media from outside to inside. The liquid passing through the inside of the porous element shears the bubbles from the media before they can fully propagate, resulting in very fine bubbles and the ultimate in performance. Motts media grade 2 porous media was used in this application. We selected media grade 2 based on experience with other sparging applications. In this application, the GasSaver worked efficiently in reducing the pH in the target time. The GasSaver also reduced the gas volume required to lower the pH. Therefore, the customer was able to save on their gas usage. The GasSaver solved the problem of cleaning the part. The GasSaver can be cleaned while in service or can be taken apart for cleaning. There are several cleaning methods including autoclave, cleaning solutions, or the element can be sent out to a commercial cleaning company.

XX Specify Media Grade in Product Description. The Industrial GasSavers are sized based on the Nominal Flow Rate of the liquid. The nominal flow rates are given based on 10 FPS (feet per second) liquid velocity through the GasSavers. Media grade 2 is recommended for gas sparging. Media grade 10 is recommended for steam sparging. Standard materials of construction are 316L Stainless Steel porous media, 316 Stainless Steel hardware and housings, Viton 0-rings and non-asbestos gaskets. Other materials are available by special order.
