Analisis Pengaruh Pressure Steam Packing Dan Komposisi Chip Terhadap Chip Load Pada Digester Batch
ABSTRACT
The process of chip filling into the digester is a crucial early stage in the pulp production process as it determines impregnation efficiency and delignification success, especially to produce high quality dissolving pulp. Optimizing chip load not only improves cooking efficiency but also directly influences mill productivity allowing a higher daily throughput of dry pulp per batch and pulp yield, defined as the percentage of dry pulp produced relative to the dry chip input. This study aims to analyze the effect of steam packing pressure on the chip load that can be loaded into the batch digester, as well as how different chip compositions affect the filling efficiency. Data was obtained from the PI system in Fiberline's room and analyzed using the correlation graph method between steam pressure and chip load based on load cell readings. The results showed that increasing the steam pressure in the range of 3.15 to 3.60 bar was able to significantly increase the chip capacity by 5.3%. In addition, a chip mixture of 60% Eucalyptus and 40% Acacia crassicarpa showed more optimal filling performance than a mixture of 50% Eucalyptus and 50% Acacia. Thus, setting the right steam pressure and chip composition can improve the efficiency of the production process and maximize the digester filling capacity.
