The first process consists, in general, of digesting sawdust or hogged and shredded wood with a dilute mineral acid under 60 pounds or more of steam pressure....

Page 7 - The admission of steam was continued until the desired pressure was reached and then regulated so that the heating period was always 20 minutes, or as near that length of time as possible. The steam was then throttled to maintain the desired pressure for the necessary time. At the completion of the reaction (or in cooks of 15 minutes or more, 2 or 3 minutes before the time was up) the rotation was stopped and the vapors were blown off and condensed as rapidly as possible. The time of blow-off varied...
