Washing technology Pulp washing is the most common and thus, an important unit operation in pulp mill fibre lines. It is typically used in brownstock washing after delignification and washing after oxygen delignification to recover dissolved impurities and clean the pulp. In the continuous cooking system, pulp washing starts already in the digester, normally corresponding
