Application of Refiner Plate Technology to Improve Pulp Quality and Reduce Energy
نویسنده
چکیده
RTSTM and TMP mill case studies were conducted, utilizing FiberMaxXTM, FiberMaxX-EXTM, and VPZTM refiner plate patterns, to reduce refining energy, improve pulp quality and increase production rates depending upon the specific application. In the studies the refiner plate designs selected provided from 200 to 280 kwh/odmt energy reduction. In addition pulp strengths were either maintained or improved by as much as 20%. Production rate increases of 10 to 18% also resulted from all of the case studies.

Energy Efficiency Frontier – Lean and Green Refining
Refining is one of the most energy intensive processes in the manufacture of paper and paperboard. While refining combines a blend of science, art, and operating experience, nearly all papermakers acknowledge that we over-refine our paper machine stock fiber. Series and parallel equipment line-ups are commonplace, and different hydraulic paths are necessary to accommodate the plethora blends of...
متن کاملThe effect of rotor position on pulp properties in a two- zoned low consistency refiner
Earlier studies have shown that plate gaps are sometimes unequal in two-zoned low consistency refiners and that unequal gaps render unevenly refined pulp. It is also known that optimisation of plate gap in low consistency refining leads to improved energy efficiency. In this work, trials were made in mill scale in a modern TMP line equipped with a prototype 72 inch TwinFlo low consistency refin...
متن کاملEffect of long fibre concentration on low consistency refining of mechanical pulp
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of long fibre concentration on loadability and pulp properties during LC refining of mechanical pulp. Long fibre concentration was adjusted to three different levels by screen fractionation of the pulp. The three pulps were refined in a single disc pilot scale LC refiner at similar process conditions. Increased long fibre concentration supp...
متن کاملSelf-tuning control of a chip refiner motor load
-On a chip refiner the gain of the transfer function between the refiner motor load and the plate gap is subject to a slow drift due to plate wear and to sudden changes in sign due to collapse of the pulp pad. A self-tuning regulator was designed to control motor load by manipulating the plate gap. It uses a recursive least-squares estimator with a variable forgetting factor in conjunction with...

The activities of human civilization have imposed a high burden on the environment since the beginning of history on a global scale. That is why energy producers and consumers need to think deeply about the role that energy plays to achieve sustainable development. In this context, the maintenance of the environment, which cannot be replaced, should be taken into account precisely. Rising energ...
