J. M. Gess, R. A. Kanitz
With the market demanding a more consistent product each day, paper machine operators are being forced to review all operational practices in an effort to weed out chronic system upsets and maximize machine up-time. One of the keys to a successful review of system practices is an understanding of “system stability.”
This paper represents the concept of system stability for a papermaking process, details the elements of the system that determine its stability, and suggests a means of measuring this parameters.
