- the invention provides several advantages.
- the distribution of solid elements of the suspension can be measured effectively in a plurality of sections of the process of paper/board production and the measurement results can be, if so desired, used to predict or control the quality of the web and the end product.
- Each type of pulp fed to the paper making process can be refined in separate refiners 100 to 104.
- the refiners can be cylindrical refiners or conical/double discs.

- the furnish may be fed through the slice opening 128 of the headbox to a former 130, which may be a fourdrinier in slow paper machines, a hybrid former in medium speed paper machines and a gap former in fast paper machines.
- a former 130 water drains out of the web, and ash, fines and fibres are led to the short circulation.
- the furnish is fed as a fibre web onto a wire, and the web can be preliminarily formed by fast water removal and pressed in a press 132.
- the fibre web can also be primarily dried in dryers 134 and 136.
- the paper machine which in this application refers to both paper and board machines, may also comprise a reel and size presses or a calender, for instance, but these parts are not shown in Figure 1 .
- the general operation of a paper machine is known per se to a person skilled in the art.
- measurements can be made in at least two different places in the process of paper/board production. Between these at least two places, the suspension with solid elements in water is processed by a sub-process of the process of paper/board production.
- the measurement points are marked with letter "M or M F " in Figure 1 .
- Figure 2 illustrates the measurements made before the head box 122. Let us assume that two components of retention aids are added somewhere after the deculator and before the headbox 116. In general, the order and the number of the added substances may be arbitrary.
- Each addition can be considered a sub-process in the process of paper/board production.
- the number of sub-processes may be one or vary from 1 to N, where N is a positive integer larger than one.
- the furnish is measured before the addition of retention aids and/or micro particles.
- the measurement 200 may measure a distribution of solid elements in the suspension before the sub-process(es).
- a first sub-process 202 relating to an addition of a first component of the retention aid is performed.
- the first component may be a polymer or micro particles.
- a pump 204 may be used to proceed and mix the furnish.
- the first component may be added before or after the pump 204.
- a measurement 206 measures a distribution of solid elements in the suspension after the first sub-process.
- Screening by a screen 208 may improve the mixing of the first component of the retention aid system as well reduce the size of the flocs by shear forces rate at this stage.
- a second sub-process 210 relating to an addition of a second component of the retention aid is performed (if dual component or micro particle retention aid system is in use).
- the second component may be a polymer or micro particles. If a polymer is added first, micro particles may be added second.
- a measurement 212 measures a distribution of solid elements in the suspension after the second sub-process.
- the measurements 200, 206 and 212 may be on-line measurements where a sample from the furnish in a pipe 218 is taken using a sampler 250 and fed to a measuring unit 220, which may output a signal to a control unit 222.
- the measuring unit 220 may have several operational principles.
- the measuring unit may form an image of the sample of the furnish such that the solid elements included in the suspension can be recognized in the image.
- a numerical value which may be called a parameter, for each processable property of the solid elements can be formed by an image processing program run in the measuring unit.
- a parameter describing a distribution of the sizes of the solid elements a parameter describing entanglement of fibers, such as the number of crossing points, may be formed.
- the sample may be diluted in a possible sampler 250 before forming the image such that the consistency of the sample is proper for the image.
- the image can be formed by taking a picture, for example, using a CCD-camera (Charge Coupled Device) or the like.
- CCD-camera Charge Coupled Device
- the measuring unit 220 may have a fractionating hose 250 to separate solid elements of different sizes into fractions with a good performance.
- the fractionating hose 250 can be used to separate different fractions such as shives, flocs, fibers, fines and fillers.
- the measuring unit 220 may be an optical apparatus which utilizes absorption, attenuation, scattering and/or depolarisation of optical radiation interacting with small particles.
- a numerical value for each processable property of the solid elements can be formed by an image processing program run in the measuring unit 220.
- a typical parameter in this kind of measurement is a parameter describing the size distribution of the solid elements.
- the measuring unit 220 may also measure consistency of small samples such that a possible agglomeration of solid material in the suspension, such as a floc, may be recognized from the average consistency of the sample.
- This kind of measurement can give an estimate of distribution of the solid elements in the suspension.
- a shift in the particle distribution indicates that particles may change their sizes by growing or shrinking in the sub-process (depending on the type of retention aid component added, polymer or micro particles respectively).
- the measurement can be an optical measurement. If the consistency measurement is complemented with a CCD camera, an image analysis is required to characterize the flocs conformation.
- the measuring unit 220 may predict formation and/or porosity to be formed in a former 130 as a function of the distribution of solid elements in the suspension before the sub-process and the distribution of solid elements in the suspension after the sub-process.
- the distributions before and after a sub-process can be parameters in a prediction model, which may be a mathematical expression describing dependency between distributions and the formation and/or porosity.
- the prediction model may also take into account the number of crossing points in a floc.
- cationic polymer enhance retention of fines as well as promote further entanglement of fibers resulting in flocculation.
- the flocs are assumed to become stronger when water is removed and tighter when a suitable polymer or a combination of polymer and micro/nano-particle is added. If shear forces (i.e. mechanical refining) are applied, flocs tend to become smaller or smoother.
- a base of a model describing the behaviour of flocs with respect to certain sub-processes can be as follows. When a suitable polymer is added to suspension, flocs increase in size.
- flocs decrease in size.
- flocs decrease in size but also increase in number.
- flocs decrease strongly in size (more than without shear forces) but increase in number.
- the floc structure may relate, for example, to fiber crossings. These measurements also enable to predict or to estimate the quality of the end product (paper or board). The measurements further enable control of formation, floc strength and/or porosity and the quality of the end product.
- the measured floc sizes and structures can be linked to formation patterns, such as cloudy, granny, smooth, etc., and their numerical values. For example, beta formation decreases when formation improves.
- the mathematical expression of the prediction model can be related to a formation factor FF which describes the quality of formation and is also related to the quality of the end product (paper or board).
- the information on distributions before and after each sub-process can be utilized to control at least one sub-process in the process of paper/board production.
- the sub-process that is controlled can be the same as the measured one or a different one.
- Figure 3 illustrates an embodiment relating to the blending chest 112.
- kraft and broke are added to the pulp in the blending chest 112.
- the main pulp could be considered to form from one fresh pulp feed or M fresh pulps feeds to the machine chest, where M is a positive integer larger than 2.
- the measuring unit 220 may perform on-line measurements 300 to 306 of pulp, kraft and broke before and after they enter the sub-processes (addition of kraft can be considered one sub-process and addition of broke can be considered another sub-process) in the blending chest 112.
- the measurements relate to a distribution of solid elements in the suspension in a similar manner to that described in Figure 2 .
- a quality of the suspension may be estimated as a function of the distribution of solid elements in the suspension before and after the sub-process(es). At least one sub-process can be taken into account but also many or all sub-processes can be utilized.
- the estimation of quality can be based on a mathematical model which includes the superposition of mass fractions and the rates of fibre fines included in each component or sub-process.
- a mass fraction and fibre fines amount can be defined as a reference and the blending can be controlled according to the reference and the measurements.
- Abs m is a fines fraction distribution is a measured current i and Depo m is a long/coarse fraction distribution is a measured current i.
- the measurement can take place after the blending chest 112.
- the information on distributions before and after each sub-process can be utilized to control at least one sub-process in the process of paper/board production.
- the sub-process that is controlled by the controller 222 receiving a signal relating to measurements from the measurement unit 220 can be the same as the measured one or a different one.
- FIG 3 there is also shown a sub-process of adding and mixing polymer to a sample of the furnish.
- the effect of this sub-process can be determined from measurements 306 and 308 made before and after the sub-process.
- the flocculation tendency of the sample can be determined before or after mixing the furnish with filler(s) in the machine chest 114.
- the machine chest 114 operation can be controlled by these measurements, which also indicates the possible range of retention aid dosage.
- the control may be performed such that a retention polymer can be added according to the retention needs and the ratio between retention polymer and micro particles can be formed according to the formation needs.
- formation can be predicted, the additions of the components to the furnish can be determined using the predicting model. If predicted formation and measured formation in the ready made paper do not meet, the model can be modified (model may be adaptive) or a feedback is used to correct the model prediction methods in a similar manner to a known MP (Model Predictive) control technology.
- MP Model Predictive
- Figure 4 illustrates measurements M F made in the former 130.
- a heavy drainage and particle losses take place in the former 130.
- filler distribution changes and a considerable filler loss takes place at different vacuum units and loadable blade area.
- the measuring unit measures the drainage from at least two places in a multifoil shoe (or a vacuum chamber) 400, a loadable blade unit 402, a wire 404 and between a forming roll 406 and a breast roll 408.
- the rolls and their configuration/arrangement are not limited to those shown in Figure 4 .
- the former 130 may not necessarily include a forming/sucking roll (BelBaie configuration BBV or a belshoe or an equivalent).
- the measurements made in at least two places may give information on distribution and changes in distribution of solid elements in the suspension on the wire 404. This information can be utilized in a similar manner as in the examples explained relating to the previous figures.
- formation can be predicted, the quality of suspension and/or the end product can be estimated or at least one of the sub-processes can be controlled for achieving a proper papermaking suspension to evaluate fibre fines and filler particle losses. This may be utilized in a proper z-profile control of a paper web.
- Figure 5 illustrates a possible kind of shift in the size distribution of large solid elements (mainly fibers) in suspension treated with a refiner.
- the signal strength is in y-axis and size is in x-axis, both in arbitrary scale.
- the depolarisation curve 500 measured before the treatment indicates a distribution that refers to larger solid elements in average than the depolarisation curve 502 relating to a distribution measured after the treatment. Note that the size of solid elements tend to decrease when the sub-process is an addition of a single polymer.
- Figure 6 illustrates a possible kind of shift in the size distribution of small solid elements (mainly fines and other micro particles) in suspension treated with a refiner.
- the signal strength is in y-axis and size is in x-axis, both in arbitrary scale.
- the scattering curve 600 measured before the treatment indicates a distribution that refers to larger solid elements in average than the scattering curve 602 relating to a distribution measured after the treatment. Note also here that the size of solid elements tend to decrease when the sub-process is an addition of a single polymer.
