Summary
Specialized professional who operates and manages plants to recover lignin from black liquor generated in the pulp manufacturing process and reuse it as chemicals or fuel.
Description
Lignin recovery workers concentrate black liquor obtained from the pulp manufacturing process using evaporators and burn it in recovery boilers to separate and recover lignin, while also recovering the generated steam and chemicals in a reusable form. They routinely monitor temperature, pressure, and chemical components using instrumentation systems and perform operational adjustments according to safety procedures. Regular equipment inspections, maintenance, and troubleshooting during emergencies are also important tasks.
