Dissolving tank control Figure 1 shows the main monitoring and control functions of the Kraft mill’s recovery boiler. The following article concerns dissolving tank control in green liquor production. The function of the dissolving tank is to dissolve smelt coming from the recovery boiler into weak wash liquor, simultaneously ensuring its high quality for
