Plantwide Optimization of a Pulp Mill Process
An economic optimization study of a pulp and paper mill is presented. Costs and revenues associated with all unit operations are identified to formulate a suitable objective function. The existing control structure of the pulp mill is analyzed and used to develop an optimization-relevant model through a series of step tests. This model is then used with the objective function and the informatio...
متن کاملVariation of Equilibrium Moisture Content of Heat- treated Couratari oblongifolia, Fraxinus excelsior, and Quercus rubra wood
Heat treatment may result in variation of wood equilibrium moisture content (EMC). During this study, tauari (Couratari oblongifolia), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), and oak (Quercus rubra) woods were heat-treated at 190, 200, and 210oC for 3 hours and then put into a conditioning chamber with a temperature from 30 to 75oC and a relative humidity from 50 to 90%. The isothermal moisture adsorption cu...
متن کاملSystem Simulation Program for Kraft Pulp Mill Optimization
Recent work by Biegler (8) has investigated optimization techniques for sequential, modular flow sheet simulators. This work extends that effort. Successive linear programming coupled with a reduced gradient method gave fast, reliable optimization. A kraft pulping process involving 22 modules and 50 streams was optimized. Compared to the base case, significantly improved operating points were l...
متن کاملMoisture Content Measurement in Paper Pulp Using Fringing Field Dielectrometry
Currently used methods for estimation of moisture content in paper pulp are restricted to levels of moisture concentration under 90%. Some of the existing methods require less practical double-sided contact measurements. A few other methods make restrictive assumptions, such as the constituents of the pulp that determine its conductance. This paper presents a technique that uses fringing field ...
متن کاملReal - Time Optimization Model for Dynamic Scheduling of Transit Operations
A new transit operating strategy is presented in which service vehicles operate in pairs with the lead vehicle providing an all-stop local service and the following vehicle being allowed to skip some stops as an express service. The underlying scheduling problem is formulated as a nonlinear integer programming problem with the objective of minimizing the total costs for both operators and passe...
