Abstract

Disclosed is a process for washing or otherwise treating paper pulp. More specifically, a multi-stage paper pulp washing process including the use of a defoamer/emulsifier mixture which is adjusted at a paper manufacturing site for each stage. The same defoamer may be used in each washing stage. However, solubility is adjusted at the paper manufacturing site by adding a small amount of emulsifier to the defoamer as appropriate for the particular stage.
