Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for dewatering in paper manufacture according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Dewatering in paper manufacture is conducted by a suction system, whereby a certain quantity of water is removed in the wire and press section of a paper machine or the like mechanically by means of a pressure difference between the negative pressure generated by the water separation system and on the other hand the higher pressure prevalent in the environment, and by an air flow caused by the same.
  • a dewatering system based on negative pressure, it is also pos ⁇ sible to maintain the running order of the press felts, and further, the dewatering system can be used also to facilitate the transfer of the pa ⁇ per web from one part of the paper machine to another.
  • Dewatering systems of prior art such as the dewatering system dis ⁇ closed in the publication GB-2 129 026, are so-called centralized sys- terns, where the whole unit generating a negative pressure in the de ⁇ watering system is connected to suction boxes or the like, usually being provided with a water separation unit. It is difficult to construct a centralized dewatering system, because the pipe system required in it must be designed as a separate unit of its own in connection with a pa- per machine with a demanding total construction as such.
  • a centralized dewatering system involves a risk for the process of paper manufacture, because breakdowns and possible failures in the unit generating a negative pressure in the centralized de ⁇ watering system may in the worst case stop the whole process of paper manufacture.
  • the implementation of the control system in a way to allow options for controlling individual suction boxes or groups of suction boxes for optimizing the process of paper manufacture is very difficult to arrange with a centralized dewatering system, or at least it is not advantageous in view of energy consumption. Consequently, a centralized dewatering system is expensive both upon investment and during operation, and it makes control and optimization of dewatering very difficult. It is an aim of this invention to present an improved system for dewater ⁇ ing in the manufacture of paper. Using the method, most of the prob ⁇ lems of prior art can be eliminated and the standard of prior art can be thus improved.
  • the method according to the invention is primarily char- acterized in that
  • a separate dewatering unit is arranged for each suction box or the like and/or for certain groups of suction boxes with the same negative pressure level, that - a dewatering strategy is formed on the basis of the yield of the suction pump and/or on the adjustment of the rotational speed of the electric motor of the suction pump in the re ⁇ spective dewatering unit
  • V f(n, q p ), wherein
  • the dewatering control system is arranged by selecting the desired rate (V as ) of removing a quantity of water from said dewatering unit, - the quantity (V m ) of water removed from said dewatering unit is measured, and the yield of the suction pump and/or the rotational speed of the electric motor of the suction pump in said dewatering unit is adjusted on the basis of the dewatering strategy, if V as ⁇ V m .
  • the above presented method gives the following main advan ⁇ tages: Firstly, the investment costs of the paper machine are reduced, because the pipe systems and other constructions are considerably less complex than in conventional embodiments. Secondly, by selecting the optimal number of dewatering units e.g. according to compatible suction levels and driving outputs and further by selecting the quantity of water to be removed in the dewatering unit according to the requirements of the process of paper manufacture, it is possible to optimize dewatering in paper manufacture as a whole, with respect to both the final result of the process itself and energy consumption.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the overall implementation of the method in a schematical view.
  • the permeabil- ity of the felt is an important factor in dewatering.
  • the perme ⁇ ability of the felt drops decisively after an exchange as quickly as in a few hours (in practice 2 to 3 days) of operation and is subsequently re ⁇ depictd less drastically during the service life of the felt (in practice 4 to 5 weeks).
  • the change in the permeability of the felt must be taken into account as well as other criteria for dewatering in the process of paper manufacture.
  • a certain quantity of water is to be removed from the paper web in the wire and press section, and naturally this must be adjustable in the process of paper manufacture for achieving desired paper quality properties.
  • Some noteworthy provisions in this respect include the fact that the paper web may be clogged up if the dewatering or suction effect is too great, or the felt may be dried too much, as well as the fact that the paper web may thus adhere to the felt. Dewatering of the paper web must thus be controlled, whereby for maintaining a certain rate of removing a quantity of water constant, adjustments should be made substantially continuously, primarily because of the change in the permeability of the felt. In addition to these adjustments, also the rate of removing a quantity of water in a certain dewatering unit must be adjusted precisely due to requirements in the process of paper manufacture.
  • this invention is based on a decentralized dewatering system, one dewatering unit being illustrated in Fig. 2 with respect to the dewatering strategy.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the overall implementation of the method in a sche ⁇ matic view.
  • the dewatering system comprises several dewatering units 1a, 1b, 1c, etc. placed successively in connection with the wire and/or press section of a paper machine.
  • the dewatering units are defined by dotted lines.
  • the schematic view of the dewatering unit 1a illustrates a paper web 2 and a felt or wire 3, which in the process of paper manufacture pass a suction box 4 or a certain group of suction boxes for the purpose of dewatering.
  • the dewatering unit 1a comprises two or more suction boxes, their group is selected so that these suction boxes have essentially the same level of negative pressure.
  • Suction boxes 4 belonging to the same dewatering unit 1 are connected to a water separation apparatus 5 via a connection line 6.
  • the water sepa ⁇ ration apparatus 5 is, in turn, connected on one hand by a connection line 8 to the suction unit 7 of the dewatering unit 1a and on the other hand by a connection line 10 to a water collection system 9.
  • the quantity of the water separated in the water separation apparatus is continuously measured by a measuring device 11 (shown schematically in Fig. 1), the measuring result being conveyed via a line 12 to a comparing means 13.
  • the dewatering sys ⁇ tem comprises also a central control unit 14, which sends a setting value V as on the desired rate of removing a quantity of water via a line 15 to each dewatering unit 1a, 1 b, 1c...
  • the comparing means 13 compares the values V m and V as , and the difference e is a control signal to a regulator 16 equipped with the control strategy for the respective dewatering unit 1a (Fig. 2), on the basis of which the yield of a suction pump 18 and the rotating speed of an electric motor 19 are adjusted via lines 20 and 21 to a suction unit 7 operating as the apparatus for producing a negative pressure.
  • the suction unit 7 comprises control means, such as chokes or the like, or means for achieving blade control. These means are illustrated schematically with the reference numeral 22.
  • Air heated by compression in the suction pump 18 is conveyed via a line 23 to a heat exchanger 24, where the air emits part of its thermal capacity e.g. to the operation or process water of the paper machine.
  • the line 23 can also be connected inside the hood of the paper machine.
  • high-speed technique is particularly important for application of the method, because an integrated unit applying high ⁇ speed technique is compact, wherein it can be easily placed in connection with the overall construction of a paper machine in each de ⁇ watering unit 1a, 1b, 1c...
  • an integrated suction unit 7 is light in weight, so that it is easy to handle during reparation and maintenance operations.
  • a suction unit 7 applying the high-speed technique does not vibrate and has a low noise level. Also the possibility in embodiments applying the high-speed technique to use contact-free bearings, particularly magnetic bearings, reduces costs of investments and maintenance.
  • the dewatering system 9, the heat exchanger 24, as well as the central control unit 14 are common either to all dewatering units 1a, 1 b, 1c... or to some of them.
  • the central control unit 14 forms an overall strategy for dewatering between different dewatering units 1a, 1b, 1c..., as re- gards total dewatering and the division of its quantity between different dewatering units, whereby each dewatering unit 1a, 1 b, 1c... carries out a strategy of its own on the basis of continuous measurements.
