Process configurations — bleaching Mill process with chlorine-containing chemicals There are several bleaching sequences and technologies in today’s pulp mills, whether modern or not so modern. The bleaching sequence is selected taking into account the investment cost, operating cost, local energy price and environmental permits as well as, in modernisations, the equipment available in the
