Abstract: The effect of variability on the black liquor evaporation unit thermal efficiency was studied. The multiple effect evaporators thermal efficiency was low during the summer because of lack of steam flow adjustment coupled with large variability. This was attributed to periodic operation of the High-Solids-Concentrator and fast dynamic variations caused by inadequate unit control of the black liquor outlet flow. It was estimated that approximately 12% steam could be saved through proper control of heat balance and stabilization of the black liquor outlet flow.
