PACWEST 2021 virtual conference brings together Canadian mill managers, engineers and suppliers to explore the latest innovations within the wood fibre industries for optimisation of processing and production. Keit’s Product & Application Manager, Dr. Jonathon Speed, presents on Thursday, 3rd June 2021 (8:30am-11am PST) “An On-line and Real-time Process Analyzer for Control in Pulp & Paper Manufacturing” scheduled in Session C. Automation & Controls.
Dr. Speed will present a technical overview of the latest analytical technology for analysing the Kraft process utilising the IRmadillo. The IRmadillo was designed to function in harsh, caustic & challenging industrial environments. Unlike standard process analyzers, it can be installed directly on-line or in-line with manufacturing process lines throughout the Kraft process. Jonathon will go into further details on this innovation in spectroscopic design to enable on-line monitoring for real-time control of pulp & paper processes. His presentation will include:
- Direct comparison of the static-optics spectrometer with near infrared (NIR), Raman and a traditional FTIR spectrometer
- Performance of the instrument in a range of chemicals of relevance to the Kraft process specifically as well as other additives or high-cost chemical monitoring
- Demonstrate the differentiation and quantitation of sodium sulfate and sodium sulfite simultaneously in aqueous mixtures
- Explore the application of the technology in green liquor monitoring to unlock and improve process control and savings
