The significant cooking reactions are terminated when the cool wash filtrate from
the first stage of brownstock washing brings the temperature of the digester contents
down to 85–95 °C. A rotating scraper reclaims the pulp from the cross-section
at the digester bottom to the outlet device. Besides cooling the pulp, the wash
filtrate provides the necessary dilution before the pulp discharge. The blowline
consistency is typically around 10%. Even at the end of the cook, the pulp in the
digester still exhibits the physical structure of the wood chips. This structure is
finally broken up as the pulp becomes defibrated during the turbulent pressure
reduction at the discharge control valve.

Heat Management
Typically, the heat exchangers use indirect steam to raise the temperature of circulation
liquors. Steam/liquor phase digesters may have direct steam addition to the
digester top. The heat in the extraction liquor is usually transferred to vapor which
is used for steaming of the chips, but it can also be exchanged with cooler process
liquors. Additional live steam may be used for chip steaming if necessary. Some
of the residual heat in the weak black liquor is spent for generation of hot water.
The hot water temperature achievable from the cooling of weak black liquor is
80–90 °C. The cooling of wash filtrate coming from brownstock washing yields
somewhat lower water temperatures, because the filtrate temperature must be
low enough to bring the digester contents safely beneath the boiling point.
Fiber Removal from Black Liquor
The slots in the screens installed in the digester need to be a few millimeters wide
to avoid plugging. As a consequence, the extraction liquor contains fibers which
are highly unwelcome in the evaporation plant. Hence, the liquor must be subjected
to fiber removal before being transferred to evaporation.
Gas Management
The gases vented from the chip bin and steaming vessel contain malodorous compounds,
and must be collected for reasons of emission control and maintaining
an acceptable workplace environment. Besides noncondensable constituents, the
vent gases carry certain amounts of moisture, and must therefore pass condensation
before proceeding to the mill’s gas collection and treatment systems. When a
digester plant processes softwood, the condensate also contains turpentine, which
is separated from the condensate by decanting.
