AUXILLIARY SYSTEMS
The 2 main systems employed in the recycle plants are:-
1) Flush water control using a variable orifice flowmeter.
2) Buffer fluid provision via W1 – W4 water management system.
FLUSH WATER CONTROL
Dilution of pulp within enclosed stuffing boxes has already been described. The process
requires some form of flow control to limit the consumption of valuable water supplies. The
typical design of these units combine a VARIABLE ORIFICE flow control with a flow indicator.
It should be noted that flush connections require the measurement and indication of flow
rather (or as well as) pressure. N.B. You can have pressure with ZERO flow.

SIDE VIEW
The basic water management (W2) system uses a clean cold water supply to pressurize and
cool the double seal (e.g. CDSA). In the event of poor water quality a filter option should be
used, noting that this will only filter the initial 2 gallons fill required for this vessel and in a
normal 12 month usage period will have only filtered 6 to 8 gallons.
The system avoids the complexity of GAS pressurization and also further reduces the risk of
dry running the external seal faces due to lack of maintenance (i.e. failure to top up the
vessel). The system is self-filling and since pulp stock is normally >95% water losses to or
from the product stream are compatible.
The normal thermosyphon principles apply therefore the system is sized with regard to its
heat removal capacity and may include finned tubing should an additional heat dump be
required (W3).
