Introduction
Most Kraft mills have Foul Condensate Strippers in order to reduce Hazardous Air Pollutants under the Cluster Rule

Benefits of FC Stripping
Reduced effluent and air pollutants– Remove 98+% of TRS and 95+% of methanol from foul
condensate
Reduced mill water usage– Stripped condensate is relatively clean and can be reused
elsewhere in the mill
Reduced fossil fuel usage– Concentrate SOG to 50 wt% methanol and deliver to
incineration point for thermal destruction
10
Alternatives
Hard piping to biological treatmentRe-using the condensates in a process where the vents are collected and incineratedAny other process that can meet the required removal efficiencies

Foul condensate stripping
Contaminants are removed from foul condensate by the process of steam distillation
Most abundant and most difficult to remove is methanol, thus process is modelled as binary distillation process between methanol and water

Stripping ColumnStripping column has two sections of trays, the bottom “stripping” and top “enriching” section
26
Stripping Column
Foul condensate is introduced between the enriching and stripping sectionsSteam is introduced below the bottom sectionSteam flows countercurrent to condensate flow down, thus “stripping”of methanol and other volatile contaminants

Stripping Column
Steam passes up through “valves”in the trays, partially reboiling the liquid as it passes downBoiling the liquid will preferentially vapourize methanol and other volatiles
28
Stripping Column
For 1000 tpd mill, (300 gpm, 1150 Lpm)
– Column 6’ diameter (2 m)– Column 60’ tall (18 m)– Operates at 10 psig (170 kPag)– Uses 20 valve trays– 5 trays in top section– 15 trays in bottom section– 300 series stainless steel

Steam RequirementNormally use steam ratio of 0.2 pounds of steam per pound of condensateFor 300 gpm (1150 l/m),this is 30,000 lb/hr (13,600 kg/hr) steamRequire effective steam ratio of 0.16 to 0.18 for good efficiency
Steam Requirement
Some steam is condensed to bring the incoming condensate up to the column operating temperature
What is left is the EFFECTIVE STEAM

operating with enough effective steam to ensure adequate methanol removal
For each stripper, develop a curve for desired efficiency at various steam ratios and delta T
Operate below the curve
