Improved Emissions and Lower Fuel Costs at RDM Blendecques
Posted in Pulp & Paper on Friday, March 4th, 2016. No comments yetItalian recycled paperboard producer, Reno De Medici (RDM) Blendecques mill in Saint Omer, France had a big challenge to modernize a control system with a short time window during a planned shutdown. The control system managed two Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) that produce steam for the process from two gas turbines and additional burners. […]
Identifying Components then Optimizing Industrial Energy Consumption
Posted in Energy, Pulp & Paper on Thursday, April 16th, 2015. One comment so farWhen optimizing operating costs at a production facility, the bias is toward that which can be measured. For example, the cost of chemicals additives for a process is something easily measured based upon the amount consumed. For components such as the energy to produce steam, the costs may not be so clear. Emerson’s Barbara Hamilton […]
Mobile Workers at Pulp and Paper Mill Case Study
Posted in Pulp & Paper, Wireless on Thursday, January 15th, 2015. One comment so farWireless communications technologies are pervasive in our lives and in our world of process automation and control. Not only for smart instrumentation, but also for process manufacturing and production operating and maintenance personnel. In a PPI Mills and Technology article, Wireless technology: empowering the mill worker, the author shares a story of mobile worker technology […]
Human Centered Design Meets SmartProcess Cook
Posted in Pulp & Paper on Wednesday, October 8th, 2014. No comments yetEmerson’s Danny Streets and Dennis Barrow shared their experience in optimizing pulp & paper batch digest operations. Their abstract: Emerson has enhanced its SmartProcess Cook solution for batch digesters in the Pulp & Paper Industry taking advantage of the DeltaV system’s Human Centered Design (HCD) graphics and class based equipment modules to enhance the ease […]
Flow Measurement in High Process Noise Environments
Posted in Flow, Pulp & Paper on Thursday, March 6th, 2014. 2 comments so farPulp and Paper processes provide noisy environments for measurement instrumentation. This 5-minute YouTube video demonstrates how magnetic flowmeter (magmeter) process noise diagnostics and noise mitigation technology improves flow measurement in pulp & paper processes using the process noise demo. The demonstration shows the effect of particulate on the magmeter, how the process diagnostic detects high […]
