Basis Weight Variability Reduction with Total Consistency Control, 2001 Process Control, Electrical & Info. Conference Proceedings
Dr. James L. Swartz--WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get") plays a critical role in the utilization of consistency measurements to reduce Basis Weight variability in the pulp & paper process. An inappropriate choice of available measurement technology can lead to, at best, less than optimal control of this critical parameter and, at worst, increased variability. Characteristics of available measurement technologies are discussed and recommendations made.
