KRAFT PULPING LIQUOR CYCLE FUNDAMENTALS
Who Should Attend
- Process engineers and Technical Assistants needing a thorough grounding in the way that the Kraft pulping liquor cycle operates.
- Operators, Shift Foremen and Day Foremen who work in the Recovery, CZX or Lime Kiln area that have never had any formal training in how their portion of the recovery cycle fits into the whole.
- Vendor personnel that service the Kraft pulp mill that need an understanding of the Kraft liquor cycle
- Non - technical personnel who desire to learn about the cyclic nature of the Kraft pulping cycle. This can be a powerful tool from the standpoint of promoting mill image in the community. Since the basics of the environmental mandates of the recovery cycle are included, these employees will gain a proper understanding of the conservation of chemicals that is achieved by the mill.

1. Understand the fundamental workings of the chemical cycle in a modern Kraft pulp mill.
2. Be able to appreciate the "closed" nature of the process and the conservation of chemical components that it represents.
3. Understand the interrelationship of the individual operations that compose the "liquor side" of the pulp mill and their importance to one another.
4. Have a basic understanding of the environmental mandates under which a modern Kraft mill operates and how these mandates are met and dealt with
