Abstract:
A system and process is disclosed for treating foul condensate such as foul condensate produced in a Kraft pulp mill. Foul condensate is directed through a steam stripper to produce a clean condensate that is partially evaporated by a volatile rich vapor stream produced by the steam stripper in the course of treating the foul condensate. Vapor produced by the evaporation of the clean condensate is directed to one or more electrically driven mechanical vapor re-compressors that produce the steam that is used in the steam stripper.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 1  including:\n directing the volatile rich vapor stream into a reflux condenser and condensing a portion of the volatile rich vapor stream to produce a liquid reflux; \n after condensing a portion of the volatile rich vapor stream in the reflux condenser, directing the volatile rich vapor stream to a trim condenser and condensing the volatile rich vapor stream to form additional liquid reflux; \n directing the liquid reflux and the additional liquid reflux to the stripping column and downwardly through the stripping column where the liquid reflux and additional liquid reflux is contacted by the steam moving upwardly through the stripping column; and \n wherein evaporating a portion of the clean condensate includes directing the clean condensate to the reflux condenser and transferring heat from the volatile rich vapor stream passing through the reflux container to the clean condensate to produce the vapor that is directed to the one or more mechanical vapor recompression units.
