Dear Readers,

Help me give a hearty welcome to HPD. They have looked at their options and chosen to spend the next year with us here at Nip Impressions. We appreciate that very much.

HPD wanted to me comment on the following mill conditions, which I am happy to do.

Caustic prices are rising rapidly and chemical makeup costs are starting to create a serious impact on mill profitability.

If you are currently dumping ash to control chlorides or experiencing plugging in your recovery boiler, the Chloride Removal Process (CRP™) may be the solution to these issues.

A CRP System from HPD removes Chlorides, Potassium, and other non-process elements from your recovery cycle improving recovery boiler operation. Additionally, the CRP system will greatly reduce the amount of valuable salt cake lost to reach a given Chloride level, therefore reducing your chemical cost.

Please visit their website (by clicking on the picture above or clicking on "More" below) to learn more about the HPD CRP System or contact one of their process specialists to discuss this system further.

And, I'll add, please tell them you saw them on Nip Impressions.

Regards,

Jim
