Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Projektet har drivits som ett program för finansiering av forskning som ska utveckla ochdemonstrera tekniker som reducerar elenergiförbrukningen med 50% vid tillverkning avTMP och CTMP med bibehållna slutproduktegenskaper hos tryckpapper och kartong.Programmet är en del av skogsindustrins initiativ att under en tioårsperiod tillsammansmed svenska och norska finansiärer investera minst 200 Mkr för att nå detta radikalaeffektiviseringsmål. Ett uttalat mål för industriinitiativet är också att befästaforskningsnoderna vid FSCN i Sundsvall och PFI i Trondheim.Parallellt med Energimyndighetens finansiering, 30 Mkr, har Norges Forskningsråd satsat25 MNOK (2010‐14) i industriinitiativet, KK‐stiftelsen 36 MSEK (2011‐17) ochMittuniversitetet har finansierat12 MSEK. Industrins totala satsning kommer att överstiga100 MSEK redan vid utgången av 2017.Resultat från benchmarkingstudien BAT2012 av industrins modernaste TMP‐ och CTMPlinjersamt från demonstrationsskaleprojekt visas i rapporten. Projekten baseras delvis pågrundläggande forskningsprojekt genomförda inom FSCN´s KK‐stiftelse‐finansieradeforskningsprofil och projektet ”Filling the Gap” 31676‐, ISSN 1650‐5387 2014:57. Resultaten visar följande reduktionsnivåer; 28% TMP för news (Braviken), 14% TMP för SC(Kvarnsveden) och 21% CTMP för kartong (Skoghall).Utöver demoprojekten finns ytterligare tydliga potentialer beskrivna i övriga delprojekt:Processintensifiering och processmodifiering > 15%Processtabilitet via avancerad processanalys och reglering > 15%Kombinera effektivaste processavsnitt från benchmarking ca 25%Detta gör det troligt att det kommer att gå att i fullskaliga demonstrationsförsök validera50% elenergireduktion inom de tre produktområdena, förutsatt att fortsattforskningsfinansiering finns tillgänglig. Tre av de idéer till avknoppningsprojekt somframkommit under projektets gång har redan erhållit beslut om finansiering frånEnergimyndigheten 2015. Ytterligare projektförslag baserade på den här redovisadeforskningen kommer att ingå i ansökningar under 2016. Utöver energireduktion i själva TMP‐ och CTMP‐processerna har forskare vid FSCN lagt forskningsgrunden för hur manska kunna tillverka mycket starka förpackningsmaterial från dessa massatyper på ettenergieffektivt sätt. Även inom detta område kommer en ansökning omuppskalningsprojekt att skickas in.

The influence of process design on the distribution of fundamental fibre parameters

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Fibres from wood, TMP and paper have been characterized with respect to the distribution of their bonding ability by using the BIN method. The parameter Fe describes the wideness of the distribution. Counter rotating refiners yield fibres with lower Fe as compared to single disc refiners. Single disc refiners yield a relatively higher amount of lower bonding fibres. Spruce fibres are developed in refining in such a way that the differences in bonding between fibres with low and high bonding will increase, thus resulting in a wider distribution. The parameter S reflects this.

Pulp property development Part I: Interlacing under-sampled pulp properties and TMP process data using piece-wise linear functions

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Thermo-Mechanical Pulp (TMP) refiners served in this work as an example of how to combine oversampled and undersampled variables on a common timeframe for further analysis. To get more information from the refining process, temperature measurement arrays in the refining zones were studied alongside process measurements such as motor load, production rates, plate gaps, dilution waters, pulp properties and manually measured blow-line consistency. The undersampled data set consisted of 63 laboratory samples obtained at a Swedish TMP mill, which were tested for tensile index, mean fiber length and Somerville shives content. The pulp samples were obtained at five different periods during three months to cover a large dynamic operating window. The data set was expanded using a piece-wise linear approach. The measurements inside the refining zone were shown to be important variables when interlacing the undersampled pulp properties with the oversampled process data set, consisting of 350 000 samples. Use of an extended entropy model provided a palette of information about the process conditions inside the refining zone. Particularly, the residence time and the consistency in the refining zones were essential for the pulp property development, as a link between the refining segment pattern used and the current state of refiner operation.

BIN - A method to measure the distribution of fiber bonding ability
- 2009

In: Proceedings - 2009 International Mechanical Pulping Conference, IMPC 2009. ; , s. 292-297

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Fiber bonding ability is highly affecting the structure, strength, and surface of printing papers, and is very much dependent on the inhomogeneity of the raw material; a mixture of early- and latewood fibers. However, until recently, only average values have been used to evaluate fiber bonding ability. In this paper, a method to measure the distribution of fiber bonding ability, BIN, is presented. BIN, Bonding Indicator, is calculated by combining external fibrillation and collapse resistance index (calculated from fiber wall thickness and fiber width) from optical measurements.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Operating costs, pulp quality, and loss of markets continue to dominate the concern of mechanical pulp producers. The search for process improvements, new products, and cost reductions requires significant amount of pulp testing to find out how improvements or new products can be achieved. Unfortunately, the required testing comes at a significant cost due to the time consuming and labor intensive preparation of each sample. For example, a detailed analysis which requires fractionation, hot disintegration, hand sheets, etc. may cost in excess of a thousand dollars. Thus, for an in-depth study where one compares different processes or operating conditions, the cost is significant. At the IMPC conference in Helsinki 2010, 2014 Fernando & Daniel showed how a modern variation of Simon staining can be used to gain information about the fiber wall conditions. This idea has now been expanded further by combining traditional fiber morphology measurements with the information gained from the measurement of color and intensities. In this paper, we will demonstrate a new approach to evaluate mechanical pulps using a special optical analyzer with the ability to process images in color or image intensities. The additional information gained from the color of the images is discussed. For the study, we have been comparing results from three modem commercial installations. The results from these trials are discussed using traditional testing methods in an earlier paper by Ferritsius et al., (2016). We will continue the discussion and show how these pulp samples were analyzed with a new optical device involving minimal sample preparations.

Ways to measure the bonding ability distribution of fibers in mechanical pulps

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper, experiences are reported from our work of developing a method for characterizing fibers with respect to their distribution in fiber bonding ability. As a first step to develop a method, fibers from two commercial TMPs have been fractionated in a four stage hydrocyclone system. The feed pulp was separated into five streams. The fiber bonding ability of R16, P16/R30 and P30/R50 Bauer McNett fractions collected from each stream were analyzed. Five different ways of evaluating fiber bonding ability showed that the fibers were separated in the hydrocyclones according to bonding ability. It was found that both fibrillation and collapse resistance index (CRI) of the fibers are required in order to well predict tensile strength of handsheets made from fiber fractions. CRI was calculated from optical measurements of cell wall thickness and fiber width. We also propose how to describe the distribution in fiber bonding ability for mechanical pulps. A method to calculate fracture toughness of handsheets based on acoustic emission is also illustrated. A more rapid method for characterizing fibers in mechanical pulps with respect to their bonding ability distribution needs to be developed in the future.
