Various types of pulp washing equipment are available. Each washing device has a unique mechani-cal construction, and the washing principle is often a combination of dilution, thickening, and displacement washing. In this work, the performance of the pressure diffuser washer is studied.In stepwise trials, the effect of the feed and discharge consistencies on the performance of the diffuser was stud-ied. The effect of the downward velocity of the screen on the pressure diffuser’s washing efficiency was also stud-ied. The measurement of total dissolved solids (TDS) by a process refractometer was used as a wash loss measure-ment unit and the refractometer’s results were used in the calculations of standardized Nordén efficiency (E10) values. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) and conductivity values were also measured and their results com-pared to the TDS results.The results indicated that feed consistency has a significant effect on the performance and effectiveness of the diffuser washers in the mill. It can also be stated that when the downward velocity of the screen is adjusted to too high a level, the washing efficiency of the pressure diffuser decreases. As a conclusion from the mill tests, it can be stated that even small process parameter changes can provide enhanced diffuser washing at the beginning of the washing line, which has a direct effect on the performance of post-oxygen washing.
