  • Description: With rising wood prices, depressed market pulp prices, and new effluent management requirements, some older pulp mills are at a competitive disadvantage from a cost, quality, and environmental standpoint when it comes to handling kraft fiberline rejects. However, there are several potential means of handling rejects that provide an attractive return on investment. The choices are varied, from disposal of the materials to their reuse, and the answer is always site specific. In addition, improvements in slotted screens have brought new opportunities to purge contaminants from the reject stream while recovering the maximum amount of good fiber. There are also new constraints from outside the mill, such as the cost of wood and compliance with the new Cluster Rule requirements, which can impact the decision. Despite the number of options to consider for handling rejects, it is clear that if the chip supply is adequately managed, the reject stream from the fiberline is significantly reduced.
