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 12):
A method of treating foul condensate, comprising:\n directing the foul condensate downwardly through a stripping column; producing steam and directing the steam upwardly through the stripping column and stripping volatile compounds from the foul condensate to produce a clean condensate and a volatile rich vapor stream that contains volatile compounds; directing the volatile rich vapor stream to a reflux condenser and condensing a portion of the volatile rich vapor stream to produce a reflux; directing at least a portion of the clean condensate from the stripping column to the reflux condenser and partially evaporating the clean condensate to produce a vapor stream; and directing the vapor stream produced into the Reflux Condenser to one or more electrically powered mechanical vapor re-compression units and converting the vapor stream to the steam that is directed into the stripping column.
