Best Practices for Consistency Measurement

This comprehensive webinar covers best practices for consistency measurements in pulp and paper operations, addressing critical challenges faced by plant managers and operations leaders. Craig Hannan explores different measurement technologies including shear force, optical reflection, and microwave systems, emphasizing that consistency measurement requires a systems approach beyond just the transmitter. Key topics include control loop design guidelines, proper dilution valve sizing, sampling techniques, and calibration procedures. The presentation highlights how measurement technology selection depends on specific applications, with no single solution fitting all scenarios. Attendees learn practical strategies for reducing dead time, optimizing agitation, maintaining stable pressure conditions, and implementing proper sampling protocols to improve product quality and operational efficiency.
