The process of the pulp washing is very important both economically and environmentally, since the quality of cellulose washing is directly related to the efficiency of chemical regeneration and the quality of the wastewater generated. The purpose of the cellulose fiber washing process is to economically remove the maximum of soluble organic and soluble inorganic substances with a minimum of fresh and recycled water. The filtrate formed during the washing of the pulp contains the lost che micals during the cooking process and is sent to the regeneration system where the necessary active alkalis are extracted for cooking the pulp and the residual organic matter is burned in an alkaline boiler to obtain the energy required. Poorly washed pulp will carry with it a considerable amount of active alkali, which will end up in the wastewater after the process of thickening the cellulose mass and separating the filtrate. The aim of this paper was to examine the influence of process parameters on the pulp washing quality and determine the quality of the pulp washing in the cellulose and paper factory, Natron Hayat, Maglaj
