The plant utilizes office wastepaper with high percentages of laser or other thermoplastic printing technologies as feed stock to recycle paper by removing the ink and other contaminates to produce a clean, bright, market pulp which will be sold to producers of printing and writing grades of paper. The system design capacity of 201 ADMT with 200 ADMT at 90 percent mechanical efficiency. The system has a demonstrated efficiency of 69.5% and the end product has a long and successful track record in fine coated and uncoated paper.

De-inking Cell is an efficient equipment of latest technology in removing ink particles and large stickies from stock suspension using self-suction aeration which is capable of generating optimum bubble size range suitable for the ink particle size and stickies to be removed.

The stock is fed to De-Inking through a primary manifold located at the bottom of the cell and enters the cell at the top just below the suspension surface. This allows the bubbles laden with the ink particles to immediately escape upwards out of the suspension for removal as foam through the central foam discharge pipe. The feed sparger sucks air through individual breather line then thoroughly mixes the air bubbles with stock to enable ink contact with the bubbles. Recirculation manifold, located at the top, and enters below the primary feed is provided to enable increase flotation time. The De-Inking is a self-suction, which does not need compressed air for aeration of the stock. Stirrer vanes are provided inside the tub for agitation of stock to enhance more deink ability and shorten de-inking time. Float-foam skimmers are also provided on top for fast removal of foam. The float-foam skimmers and the stirrer vanes are supported together and use only one motor to rotate both parts.

The accept stock passes down to a conical shape accept chamber located at the bottom of the tub. The accept chamber is designed to draw stock uniformly from the tub and avoid foam mixing with the accept stock during discharge.
