Abstract

The invention relates to a process for improving the drainage or dewatering of cellulosic pulp suspensions in a paper making machine, a drying machine or the like assembly.

The drainage of said pulp suspension is improved by treating it with carbon dioxide just prior to its entering a dewatering device such as the wire section of a paper machine.
