Industries Served · Pulp & Paper

Engineered equipment for pulp and paper mills.

Mills run continuously under high temperatures, extreme pressures, corrosive chemicals, and abrasive slurries. Since 1885 we have built the equipment that keeps them running.

Digestion · Recovery · Washing

Supporting the full pulping process, from chemical digestion to recovery.

Harris Thermal designs and fabricates custom-engineered process equipment for pulp, paper, and wood product facilities across North America — ASME pressure vessels, TEMA heat exchangers, evaporators, tanks, and cyclones, all built for efficiency, compliance, and long service life.

Our Equipment

Core equipment for mill operations.

Core Processing

  • Digesters & Pressure VesselsCustom-built for kraft, sulfite, and chemical pulping to ASME Section VIII.
  • EvaporatorsMulti-effect and falling film designs for black liquor concentration and recovery.
  • Columns & TowersTall process columns for bleaching, washing, and chemical absorption.
  • CrystallizersEfficient recovery of process chemicals and by-products.

Heat Transfer & Energy Recovery
