Water is required in almost every step of the production process of pulp and paper. Sustainable water use has become an important focus of the industry. The water cycle of the production process is closed more and more, with some mills achieving completely zero discharge. Concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFA’s) are an important quality parameter in the water cycle. High VFA concentrations will induce a bad smell to the paper products. Furthermore, high VFA concentrations will lead to calcium precipitation, thereby inducing tearing of the paper in the drying section of the machine. Analysis of individual VFA concentrations is often done in a central laboratory, with a feedback time of several days. On-line VFA analysis gives better control of the production process, which will reduce downtime of the paper machine by providing relevant chemical data in real-time about the process.
Capilix solution
Capilix Fixion Pulp & Paper product is used for on-line analysis of bicarbonate and all relevant individual VFA components (formeate, acetate, propionate, and butyrate) with one sensor, directly at the paper machine. This results in on-line lab quality analysis, which feedback is directly given to the operational management. Capilix Fixion Pulp & Paper product is easy to operate by people without a speci canalytical background and easy to integrate in the existing automation systems of the paper machine. Through application of Fixion Pulp & Paper, downtime of the machine could be reduced by 20% or more.
Conclusion
Fixion Pulp & Paper product reduces downtime of the machine signficantly and
gives optimal control over your paper machine.
