Analytics solutions for the Paper Industry

Giving you confidence for the tough decisions

All industries have common goals: high quality products that meet customer needs, and process efficiency. Using the right analytics solution can help ensure product quality and optimize production processes; it can also support water conservation, environmental profile improvements and regulatory compliance.

Every day choices are made on product release, process adjustments or responses to new issues. When making important decisions you need to be confident in the data available, so when looking for an analytics solution chose one that gives you confidence for the tough decisions.

Chlorine total, free: Process efficiency, control biocide dosing and cost.

Conductivity: Quality control, simple check on incoming water quality.

Hardness: Production performance, check impact on pre-treatment costs or potential for in-plant scale/deposits.

pH value:Plant life/efficiency, check potential for in-plant corrosion.>

TOC: Production performance, check potential for non-ionic inorganics to cause deposits.

Turbidity: Quality control, check effectiveness of filtration and microbiological quality.

Hydrazine: Monitoring avaids overdosing of oxygen scavengers.

Oxygen: Plant life/efficiency, control oxygen scavenger dosing that reduces corrosion.

Phosphate: Plant life/efficiency, control phosphate addition that reduces corrosion and deposits.

Silica: Silica precipitates damage to turbines and tubes.

Sodium: Plant life/efficiency, an indicator of efficiency loss in ion exchangers or membrane systems used for pre-treatment.

Regulatory compliance, monitor and optimise treatment process performance, and ensure compliance with legal:

  • Conductivity
  • Flow
  • Nutrients
  • Oxygen
  • pH value
  • Sludge level
  • Solids
  • TOC

Quality control, to ensure optimum concentration of additives and fillers to meet quality requirements regarding e.g. strength, whiteness, opacity, restistance to grease and yellowing :

  • Oxygen
  • Starch
  • Sulphate
  • COD/TOC
  • Conductivity
  • Hardness

Solids: Production performance, prevent the screen from being plugged.

pH value: Plant life/efficiency, monitor white water quality to improve flocculation and reduce production costs.

AOX: Regulatory compliance, monitor concentration of organic halogenides in discharged water.
