Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a procedure for adjusting the consistency of paper pulp, as defined in claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to achieve a completely new type of solution for the adjustment of short-circulation pulp consistency.
  • the invention is based on an idea of diluting the pulp in the head box in short circulation using consistency regulating water that is considerably weaker in consistency than the tail water and the head box pulp.
  • consistency regulating water that is considerably weaker in consistency than the tail water and the head box pulp.
  • either circulation water of the paper machine, clear or turbid filtrate or fresh water is supplied into the pulp line before the wire pit, into the wire well or into the pulp line after the wire well.
  • the diluting water is dosed into the head box pulp based on measurement of the consistency of the head box pulp (or tail water).
  • the excess of tail water displaced by the diluting water is passed into long circulation for fibre recovery.
  • the invention has numerous significant advantages.
  • the procedure eliminates the variations in the consistency of head box pulp, thus allowing more stable dehydration in the wire section.
  • the new control procedure makes it possible to adjust the fines content to a constant level in relation to the long fibre fraction, thus improving the strength and printability properties of the paper.
  • the new control procedure considerably reduces the variation in the dosage of chemicals. Because of the above-mentioned circumstances, the runnability and productive capacity of the paper machine are improved.
  • Fig. 1 presents a simplified diagram of an arrangement according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 presents a simplified diagram of another arrangement according to the invention
  • Fig. 3 presents a simplified diagram of yet another arrangement according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1 depicts the head box 13 and the wire section in a schematic representation.
  • the thicker solid lines in the figure represent connections used to convey liquids or pulp while the thinner or broken lines represent the routes of transmission of the signals needed for data transfer and control.
  • the dehydrators 14, 15 in the wire section are connected to the so-called wire pit 12 or a similar tank.
  • the dehydration lines are provided with measuring devices 5 for the measurement of consistency.
  • the pulp supply line leads from a mixing tank 16 or the like into the wire pit 12 and further into the head box 13.
  • Disposed in the pulp supply line after the wire pit 12 are a chemical dosage system 11 and a consistency measuring device 4 for the measurement of the consistency of head box pulp.
  • the equipment associated with the procedure comprises a consistency regu- lating water line 1 , which in the case illustrated by Fig. 1 is connected to the head box pulp line after the wire pit 12.
  • the consistency regulating water line can be connected to the wire pit 12 of the paper machine or to the viscous pulp line before the wire pit.
  • the consistency regulating liquid line 1 can also be e.g. a wire pit filling/level control pipe or a separate pipe leading into the wire pit 12 (Fig. 2) or into the viscous pulp line (Fig. 3), through which a supply of viscous pulp, head box pulp, filler or water of a lower consistency than tail water can be mixed with the pulp/water flowing into the head box 13.
  • the aim is to achieve a desired con- sistency of head box pulp by combining liquids or pulps having different degrees of consistency.
  • the equipment also comprises shutter/regulating elements in the consistency regulating water line 1 , such as an automatic valve 2, to regulate the water flow, and a measuring device, such as a flow meter 3, for measuring the liquid flow.
  • a consistency meter 4 Disposed in the pulp line leading into the head box is a consistency meter 4 to supply consistency measurement data to the consistency control system.
  • the apparatus comprises a diluting water line 6 connected to the consistency regulating water line 1 , and a consistency me-ter 7 placed after the diluting water line. Via the diluting water line 6, it is possible to adjust the consistency of the consistency regulating liquid.
  • the sys- tern comprises a control apparatus 8, such as the paper machine's control system, logic or a separate computer such as a PC, to control automatic valve 2 on the basis of consistency measurement 4 or 5 or automatic valve 9 in the diluting water line 6 on the basis of consistency measurement 7.
  • the wire pit 12 is provided with a spill pipe 10, through which a volume flow corresponding to the liquid quantity required for consistency control is passed out of the short circulation.
  • the control apparatus 8 controls the use of diluting water as well as the chemical dosage system 11.
  • target consistency values are defined for the head box pulp and/or the tail liquid coming from the dehydrators 14, 15, the consis- tency of the pulp entering the head box 13 is measured by means of measuring element 4 and/or the consistency of the tail liquid coming from the dehydrators 14, 15 is measured by means of measuring element 5, and, based on the measurement data of at least one consistency measurement and controlled by the control apparatus 8, liquid or pulp of desired consistency is supplied via the consistency regulating liquid line 1 into the pulp line leading to the head box 13 at a point after or before the wire pit 12 or directly into the wire pit 12 until the desired consistency is obtained.
  • adjustment by means of chemicals is used.
  • the flow of consistency regulating liquid is measured by means of a measuring device 3 connected to the consistency regulating liquid line 1.
  • the consistency of the liquid used for consistency control is measured by means of another measuring device 7.
  • Consistency control is effected using at least three components having different consistency values, such as viscous pulp, tail water and circulation water of the paper machine.
  • the volume flow corresponding to the amount of material needed for consistency control is passed out of the short circulation e.g. via the spill pipe 10 of the wire pit 12.
  • the primary controlled variable used for adjusting the consistency of head box pulp is a consistency regulating liquid consisting of liquid, pulp or filler having a consistency higher or lower than that of the head box pulp, and the secondary controlled variable used is retention chemical control.
  • the dosage of chemicals is adjusted based on measurement of the consumption of consistency regulating liquid.
  • the chemical dosage is not changed until the consumption of consistency regulating liquid has risen above/ fallen below a very wide consumption range (e.g. 30 - 200 l/s).
  • an automatic valve 2 in the consistency regulating water line 1 is opened and, based on control data from the control apparatus 8, admits a flow of a liquid having a different consistency into the head box pulp. If the consistency of head box pulp exceeds the target value, then dilution is effected using a liquid with a consistency below that of the head box pulp, such as raw water, clear or turbid filtrate from filter devices such as disc filters or the white water of the paper machine. On the other hand, if the consistency of head box pulp is below the target value, the consistency can be adjusted by using so-called viscous pulp, which has a consistency higher than that of the head box pulp, or a filler.
  • consistency control can be implemented based on measurement 5 of tail water consistency. If the consistency measurement 5 indicates that the tail water consistency differs from the target values, an automatic valve 2 in the consistency regulating water line 1 is opened and, based on control data from the control apparatus 8 and on flow measurement, admits a flow of a liquid having a different consistency into the head box pulp. If the tail water consistency exceeds the target value, then dilution is effected using a liquid of a consistency below that of the tail water, such as raw water, clear or turbid filtrate from disc filters or the white water of the pa- per machine. On the other hand, if the consistency of tail water is below the target value, adjustment of the consistency can be effected using so-called viscous pulp, which has a consistency higher than that of the tail water, or filler.
  • the control apparatus 8 preferably also controls the chemical dosage system 11 , such as e.g. a retention chemical dosage system.
  • the consistency regulating liquid is a primary controlled variable and the retention chemical is a secondary controlled variable.
  • Dosage limits are defined for the consistency regulating liquid, e.g. minimum 0 l/s and maximum 250 l/s.
  • chemical dosage limits are defined for the consistency regulating liquid, for instance minimum 30 l/s and maximum 200 l/s.
  • the control apparatus 8 reduces the retention chemical dosage 11 e.g. by 20 g/t.
  • the control program adds e.g. 20 g/t, causing the consistencies of tail water and head box pulp to fall and the consumption of consistency regulating liquid to fall under 200 l/s.
  • the control system increases or decreases the chemical dosage until the consumption of consistency regulating water returns to a level within the chemical dosage limits.
  • diluting water of a different consistency can be supplied from the diluting water line 6 and mixed with the consistency regulating water, controlled by the control apparatus 8, which controls an automatic valve 9 on the basis of measurement data obtained from a consistency meter 7 in the consistency regulating water line 1.
