Strategy for Improving Data Quality for a Kraft Pulp Mill Recausticizing Plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Steady state simulation of a kraft pulp mill recausticizing plant was completed for the purposes of investigating process changes for an area upgrade. Due to errors in the measured data as well as assumptions made due to a lack of necessary information, the initially completed simulation was not the best representation of the process at steady state. A comprehensive approach has been used to improve and validate the simulation. Firstly, a multi-scale data processing technique based on wavelet transform was used to eliminate errors caused by temporal events, including random noise and abnormalities in the raw measurements. Steady state was then detected using the wavelet-based method. Data reconciliation was used to reduce systematic errors and to calculate some of the necessary variables that were not measured. Combined with process knowledge, the simulation was validated using the reconciled data.

A general strategy to perform water and element balances was developed and implemented for a pulp and paper mill to identify the flow profiles of water and key elements. The materials covered in the balance were water, sodium (Na), sulfur (S), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), and chlorine (Cl). A sampling strategy for the whole plant was first developed and then a number of analytical techniques we...
