Dear Readers,

HPD has asked me to 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

Answer to last week's riddle: "Prop it (or empty it) is used to fill the place of a required function - generally the subject - but has little or no meaning. It is particularly frequent in expressions referring to weather and time:

It's really hot in here.
It's a bit late now.

Another common use of it in this category: A newscaster is turning control back to another newscaster and says: 'I am handing it back to you now.'"

Last week's riddle asked: "When is it a prop? (There is no typo in this question)"

This week's riddle: A top-ten all-time selling children’s book contains a vocabulary of less than 55 English words, even though the book is more than 50 pages long. Name the book.
