Abstract

A pressurized screening apparatus removes both bouyant contaminants and denser contaminants from a liquid suspension containing desirable fibers and contaminants. Both the undesirable bouyant contaminants and the undesirable denser contaminants are accumulated in the same section of the pressurized screening apparatus. If desired, the accumulating bouyant contaminants and denser contaminants may be intermittently removed from the pressurized screening apparatus.
