White Liquor Oxidizer

The Quantum Q-Owl process takes white liquor directly from the clarifier into a break-seal tank, pumps it into the X-O-Therm reactor where it is mixed with pressurized oxygen, then to a gas/liquid separator where the oxidized white liquor is piped to the process and the gas is vented back to the receiving tank. A heat exchanger is optional depending on the use of the oxidized white liquor.

The process is completely automated. It can be controlled from a control room either from its own control panel or as part of a distributed control system. The exothermic heat of reaction generated in the X-O-Therm reactor is recoverable either by use of the hot oxidized white liquor or via the optional heat exchanger, resulting in energy savings that can reduce the cost of oxygen as much as 40%. A 50 gal/min process occupies a floor space of only 15 ft by 20 ft. by 10 ft high.
