Outline Refiner in the Distributed Control System Refiner as Block Diagram Available Signals around Refiner Analysis of Process Data Experiments Results from Empirical Models Future Work
Position of refiner inside Pulp Mill DCS Graph for pulp mill, right refiner used for experiments
HC Refiner inside the DCS
HC Refiner Block Diagram Energy set spec. Eng + set screw set dil. wat +- + dp C K C K rpm C K dil wat Motor Effect REFINER Vibration 1 Vibration 2
HC Refiner Signals SC521VAL RE825_GIV2 PI532 RE825_EFF FC447VAL PI533
Analysis of Process Data Process Data of Pulp Mill, including massflow rates, levels, power consumptions, rotor positions, hydraulic pressures
Potential Improvements Oscillations in one control loop Possibly caused by interactions between different controllers, but no gain in efficiency
Experiments at Mondi Two experimental series with HC Refiner at different sampling rates Collection of signals for mass-flow rates, closing pressure, rotor position, vibration indicators and motor effect Base for empiric modelling of the refiner and its surroundings
Important Signals SC521VAL RE825_GIV2 PI532 RE825_EFF FC447VAL PI533

Modelling results Screw Feeder Validation of modelled transfer function from the control output of the screw feeder to the measured value
Modelling results Refiner Validation of modelled transfer function from difference pressure, water flow rate and screw speed to the motor Effect
Next Steps Further improvement of model quality Energy optimization of the refiner control using Convex Optimization to achieve faster response with less energy consumption
