Abstract
A method and apparatus for recovering black liquor chemicals and heat in a sulphate pulp process. The black liquor is concentrated in an evaporation plant, which includes a pressure heating reactor, after which the black liquor is gasified or combusted in a reactor for producing hot gases. The hot gases formed in the reactor are introduced into gas turbine power plant. The exhaust gases from the gas turbine are introduced into a waste heat boiler, where steam is generated for a steam turbine power plant. Secondary steam is led from the pressure heating reactor as injection steam into the gas turbine, to control inlet temperature.
