Förfarande och anordning för sparande av vatten- och energiförbrukningen hos en pappersmaskin med hjälp av ett vakuumsystem och torrsubstansoptimering och användning av förfarandet

摘要

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for reducing the water and energy consumption of a paper machine with the help of a vacuum system and optimization of web solids content as well as a use of the same. An essential feature of the invention is that, on the paper machine wire section (12), water is removed with the help of a hybrid vacuum system (1) serving first the vacuum locations needing a lower vacuum level and then those requiring a higher vacuum level in such a fashion that the hybrid vacuum system (1) removes water on different sections of the paper machine at the vacuum levels rendering the individually maximized energy efficiency. Additionally the solids content on the wire section (12) is optimized with the help of an un-felted and smooth press roll (13) adapted above the wire suction roll (3).
