The diagram gives information about the process for making pulp and paper. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The diagram shows the process through which wood is used to manufacture pulp and paper for printing and box production purposes. Overall, it is rather sophisticated and is comprised of more than ten stages.
The process begins when trees are cut down to produce logs, after which they are chipped and combined with purchased wood chips in a digester. The resulting pulp is then washed and screened to make clean pulp.
This pulp can then be used to produce rough paper for making boxes. After being formed in a former device, it is dried and formed into a reel. Next, it is cut into paper bales which are finally packed.
Alternatively, the clean pulp may be used to make refined paper for printing purposes. Once it is cleaned in pulp cleaners, it is dried and pressed, first in pulp presses and then in paper presses. Ultimately, it goes through another drying stage in paper dryers before being rolled.
