Cooking & Brownstock Washing Brownstock Washers Coru-Dek IV Vacuum Filter Compaction Baffle Filter Brownstock washers wash the cooked pulp to remove the used cooking liquor and dissolved material. The washer filtrate called black liquor contains dissolved lignin, hemicellulose, and inorganic material from the cooking liquor as well as those dissolved from the bagasse. Brownstock washers are offered by many suppliers. They also come in various types of vacuum and pressure washers. In the woodpulp industry, high capacity twin roll press washer are used extensively but they have not been used in nonwood mills as yet. This slide shows two types of filters offered by GL&V of Canada – a Coru-Dek IV vacuum filter and a Compaction baffle pressure filter. 23
