The need for accurate at-line measurement of Kappa number and Brightness of chemical pulps is becoming an increasingly important issue for pulp manufacturers. ASD Inc., in cooperation with
FPInnovations – PAPRICAN co-developed the QualitySpec® K-B (Kappa & Brightness)Vis/NIR analysis solution. The KB system employs a patent pending method for simultaneously measuring the Kappa number and Brightness of wet pulp at multiple locations, from digester blowline to fully bleached pulp, irregardless of furnish type.
QualitySpec® K-B System Features and Benefits:
Kappa number & Brightness readings on wet pulp
in seconds to allow for tighter process monitoring
and control
Rugged At-Line system with touch-screen operator interface — eliminates the need for analytically
skilled operators
Minimal sample preparation with no hazardous chemicals being used
Based on advanced processing technology that eliminates testing variation typically found in cumbersome manual techniques for Kappa number & Brightness
The QualitySpec® K-B analyzer allows for fibre-line testers & operators to take numerous measurements per hour at multiple process locations, allowing for more accurate control of the pulping and bleaching processes. More reliable results, coupled with advanced process control strategy, increases the effectiveness in feedback control of the digester and feed-forward control of the bleach plant. The QualitySpec® K-B system is an ideal analyzer for minimizing Kappa number variation, incremental bleaching costs, and the amount of off-grade pulp.
In a competitive environment, eliminating guesswork and maximizing gain from product quality is an absolute necessity. QualitySpec® K-B is the must-have tool for the realization of increased profitability!
