Brown stock washing control The washing plant has a dual function in the pulp mill. It cleans the pulp to remove used chemicals and other unwanted reaction products that could increase the chemical consumption or harm the environment in the subsequent process stages, i.e. it must minimise the washing loss. It is also the first
