Press section water balance using portable sensors

• The objective in performing a complete water balance around the press section is a quantification of the water content in both the felt and the sheet.
• Predictions of sheet dryness exiting the press section can be made based on accurate measurement of all water streams into and out of the press section. It is intended to provide a complete understanding of the changing behavior of the press section water removal characteristics with time.
• The objective is to complete a water balance study on any press section . This task is simplified when the machine is equipped with flow monitoring devices measuring all flows integral to the press section.

It Provides information on:

• Practical Considerations.
• Test Equipment and Procedures.
• Gamma Backscatter Gauge.
• Transmission Beta Gauges.
• Press Section Water Balance Calculations: Press Efficiency Number (PEN).
• Subtleties: Nip vs. Uhle Box Dependent Dewatering.
• Sheet Dryness: machine comparison.

It Benefits:

• Technical Manager.
• Quality Manager.
• Laboratory Personal.
• Engineer.
• Researchers.
• Analyst.
