INTEGRATED PULP MILL AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING SAME

摘要

A mill for the processing and production of wood pulp is contained substantially entirely within a single, integral structurethat defines a unitarily-covered space substantially bounding and enclosing the mill. The mill includes a main control room orstation (2) for overall monitoring and control of pulp processing operations in the mill, the main control station being disposedsubstantially centrally within the covered space, and a plurality of processing stations (3-16) at which various pulp processing op-erations take place in a generally sequential manner or order. The plural processing stations are disposed within the coveredspace and radially outwardly from the main control station, with individual ones of the processing stations being arranged andlocated in the covered space relative to others of the processing stations so that as the pulp undergoes the sequential processingoperations at the plural processing stations the pulp proceeds substantially circumferentially about the main control station be-tween and among the individual processing stations.
