Abstract

A method is proposed for improving pulp quality at high production rates on conical disc refiners. It permits a reduction in refining intensity by enabling fibre residence time to increase by increasing consistency, while avoiding the problem of plate plugging normally associated with high discharge consistency. In practice, inlet consistency is increased by the in-feed dilution, flat zone dilution or both, but without allowing the discharge consistency to rise. Instead, the discharge consistency is controlled at a fixed optimum value by the addition of dilution water within the conical zone.
The result is that residence time is increased, and refining intensity decreased, by raising the consistency in the inner region of the refining zone, while avoiding the plate plugging caused by excessive consistency in the outer region of the refining zone.

Claims (26)

1. A method of refining wood pulp comprising:
i) providing a conical pulp refiner comprising a refiner housing having a pulp inlet and a pulp outlet with a refining zone therebetween, said refining zone comprising a flat upstream refining zone and a conical downstream refining zone, ii) feeding pulp through said pulp refiner from said pulp inlet to said pulp outlet and refining the pulp in said refining zone, and iii) adding a controlled amount of dilution water to said pulp upstream of said conical refining zone to establish a pulp consistency in said refining zone effective to maintain an acceptable refining intensity for refined pulp quality.
2. A method according to claim 1, wherein said controlled amount of said dilution water controls consistency at the pulp inlet, and said controlled amount is determined from heat and material balance in the refiner.
3. A method of refining wood pulp comprising:
i) providing a conical pulp refiner comprising a refiner housing having a pulp inlet and a pulp outlet with a refining zone therebetween, said refining zone comprising a flat upstream refining zone and a conical downstream refining zone, ii) feeding pulp through said pulp refiner from said pulp inlet to said pulp outlet at a selected production rate, and refining the pulp in said refining zone with discharge of refined pulp of a target consistency at said pulp outlet, and iii) adding a controlled amount of dilution water to said conical refining zone to maintain said target pulp consistency at said pulp outlet.
4. A method according to claim 3 including monitoring pulp consistency at said pulp outlet and delivering said controlled amount of dilution water therefrom.
5. A method according to claim 4 wherein said monitoring comprises sensing said pulp consistency at said pulp outlet with a consistency sensor.
6. A method according to claim 4 wherein said monitoring comprises evaluating process parameters of the refiner and determining the controlled amount of dilution water from the parameters.
7. A method of refining wood pulp comprising:

18. A method according to claim 16, wherein said discharge consistency is maintained by a consistency control loop which is independent of a control loop for maintaining pulp consistency at an inlet of a refining zone of the refiner.
19. A method according to claim 17, wherein said pulp consistency at said inlet is maintained by a consistency control loop which is independent of a control loop for maintaining discharge pulp consistency of the refiner.
20. A method according to claim 16, wherein a refiner inlet consistency target is adjusted in order to change refining intensity in said refiner.
21. A method according to claim 17, wherein said pulp consistency is adjusted by said controlling in order to change refining intensity in said refiner.

23. A method according to claim 21, wherein pulp residence time and said refining intensity are adjusted without change in said pulp discharge consistency.
24. A method according to claim 17, comprising adjusting said pulp consistency as a function of production rate in accordance with the relationships:
25 C il = .alpha. infeed prod + .beta. infeed (11a) C BL = .alpha.B L prod + .beta.B L (11b) 25. A method according to claim 22, wherein said refining intensity is adjusted as a function of production rate.
26. A method according to claim 25, wherein the refining intensity is decreased with increasing production rate to compensate for loss in pulp quality associated with a high production rate.
