| AQUAMAG® For Kraft Peroxide Bleaching Background
Currently many kraft bleach plants in the U.S. do not chelate metals prior to the
peroxide stages. With the increased cost of bleaching chemicals, it has become important
to optimize the effectiveness of the bleaching process.
Application
AQUAMAG is a low cost chelant which improves the bleaching process and reduces
operating costs. AQUAMAG, magnesium hydroxide slurry, is typically added at the washer
repulper on the D0 washer.
Benefits
- Improved Peroxide Stage Brightness.
- Improved Viscosity Protection.
- Improved pH control in Peroxide Stage and D1 up-flow tube.
- Improved Peroxide Stage Effluent Color.
- Reduced Bleaching Cost.
- Increase Peroxide Stability.
- Low Cost, Safe, Nonhazardous Chelant.
Expected Cost Savings
- Net Caustic Savings of 3#/ton.
- Net ClO2 Savings of 1 or more #/ ton from D0 stage.
Trials
Premier Chemicals’ field personnel stand ready to provide assistance installing
and demonstrating AQUAMAG in your process. Costs to conduct a trial are small compared
with the potential savings and benefits. Premier will provide the trial equipment at the
cost of the AQUAMAG required, plus the equipment transport charges only.
