PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE PURIFICATION AND YIELD OF FIBERS FROM A FIBER SUSPENSION

摘要

A process and apparatus for controlling separators used to separate suspensions of fibers is disclosed. In a system in which at least one separator is used to separate a fiber suspension into fractions containing components of the feed suspension, sensors are used to generate information relating to a characteristic of at least one of the formed fractions. The information so generated is then used to control the operational parameters of the separators. In further embodiments of the invention, sensors provide information to controllers, which in turn control the separators.
