摘要: A method for controlling a chemical recovery boiler. The method includes measuring concentrations of sodium carbonate, sodium sulfide, and sodium sulfate from green liquor of the chemical recovery boiler, determining a target temperature for smelt, imaging at least an area of a char bed of the chemical recovery boiler, the area being close to a smelt spout, to obtain an image of the area, determining a measured temperature of the char bed using the image of the area. The method further includes determining that the measured temperature of the char bed is less than the target temperature for smelt, and controlling the chemical recovery boiler such that the temperature of the char bed increases. A chemical recovery boiler for the same.

摘要: A method for obtaining information on quality of combustion of a liquor in a chemical recovery boiler. The method comprises entering a value of a first input parameter to a computational model configured to determine, based on the value of the first input parameter, a value of the quality of combustion of the liquor in the chemical recovery boiler, and at a first time, running the computational model to obtain a first modelling result. The method comprises measuring, from the chemical recovery boiler a value indicative of carryover to obtain a measurement result; comparing the first modelling result with [a] the measurement result or [b] a result derived from the measurement result, to obtain a primary comparison result; and adjusting the value of the first input parameter based on the primary comparison result to obtain an adjusted value of the first input parameter. The method comprises entering the adjusted value of the first input parameter to the computational model, and at a second time, running the computational model to obtain the information on quality of combustion of the liquor in the chemical recovery boiler.

摘要: A measurement apparatus of a moving paper web, includes an optical radiation source that outputs optical radiation toward a scattering element of the measurement apparatus. The scattering element scatters the optical radiation, and a transmitting surface of the scattering element directs the optical radiation in a scattered manner toward the moving paper web. A distance between said transmitting surface of the scattering element and a surface of the paper web is known, and the transmitting surface and a detector of the apparatus are on opposite sides of the paper web. The detector receives at least a part of the optical radiation, which is side-scattered from the moving paper web. The detector determines a moisture value and a dry weight of the paper web on the basis of spectral information on the received optical radiation and the known distance.

摘要: An industrial process is monitored and controlled by displaying at least one process page in a process page window, providing an operator configurable region, and providing at least one item display element representing at least one process component, sub-process or operation on the process page and being movable on top of the operator configurable region. A movement of the item display element from the process page on to the operator configurable region is determined, and the operator configurable region is caused to display a corresponding docked display element in the operator configurable region. The docked display element is configured to enable control of the process component, sub-process or operation the docked display element represents from the operator configurable region.

摘要: A solution for measuring a suspension which contains wood fibres. The consistency of the suspension is changed in a consistency range. Optical radiation is directed at the suspension and the intensity of optical radiation interacted with the suspension is measured at different consistencies in the consistency range. The maximum intensity of the optical radiation is determined within the consistency range. At least one of the following properties of the suspension are determined based on the determined maximum intensity: kappa number, brightness.

摘要: An apparatus includes a piston cavity, a piston insertable in the piston cavity, and at least one flow cavity. Each flow cavity is inserted in the piston, alongside the piston cavity such that the flow cavity has a connection with the piston cavity, or between the piston and a wall of the piston cavity by means of one or more differences in cross section between the piston and the piston cavity, and the flow cavity is in contact with a liquid substance being processed. The piston moves back and forth inside the piston cavity and causes with its movement a flow of the liquid substance in each flow cavity in connection with measuring the liquid substance.
