During the 90th we started a research program at Holmen Paper Braviken More information about refining conditions was

  • btained from sensor arrays

inside the refining zone. In 2015, this led to a soft sensor concept suitable for refining control

Vision: By controlling the (C)TMP-refiners, specific energy can be reduced significantly at the same time as pulp property variations are maintained at an acceptable level. To reach the vision: Introduce Tmax - control in the flat zone(FZ) and Consistency control in both FZ and the conical zone (CD). Keystones: 1. Manipulate the work load between the zones in an unortodox way to increase production and stabilize pulp quality. 2. Select proper operating points defined by requested pulp quality.

REFINER CONTROL USING SOFT SENSORS

A new set of process variables, internal states , available:

  • Residence time
  • Consistency
  • Forces on bars
  • Defibration work
  • Thermodynamical work
  • Backflowing steam
  • Steam velocity
  • Pulp velocity
  • Water velocity
  • etc.

→ TCtrl – Temperature control CCtrl – Consistency control → Increased amount of process data to handle. → Possibility to systematically analyze pulp properties, process stability as well as different estimation tools.

1) Build models based on DC-gains and refiner dynamics! Introduce learning algorithms. 2) Use delay/filter to foresee future changes after latency!

The models seem to be useful!

RESULTS

Control concepts provides a possibility to deside where in the operating window to run the refiners. This gives an opportunity to:

  • minimize process variances;
  • stabilize the pulp quality;
  • analyze performance of refining segments;
  • ptimize machine performance;
  • introduce an overall MPC-concept for good

enough pulp (and handsheet) property control;

  • ptimize the specific energy;
  • plan production.
