Improve efficiency by using your existing data streams

The more you know about control loops, the faster you can find and resolve issues, exploiting hidden potential – and raising production efficiency.

When a valve is tight enough?

The tightness discussion has been going around in the automation industry since the first valves were introduced.

At the heart of the GTL process

GTL technology involves conversion of methane to high molecular weight hydrocarbons from LPG to waxy paraffins. The process itself consists of mainly 3 steps, syngas production through steam reforming or partial oxidation, liquid production through Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) reactions with cobalt or iron-based catalyst followed by product updgrading through mild hydrocracking to convert high molecular weight waxes to LPG, naphta and diesel.

Making your performance our first priority

To get the most from any equipment, you need to know how it is performing. Some original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have begun to offer services which manage asset performance in real-time.

This article provides a clear, effective and illustrated introduction to vibration analysis techniques, including principles, equipment and spectral analysis.

Reduce tissuemaking costs and improve profiles with AirCap Heli

Valmet's patented Advantage AirCap Heli reduces the energy consumption required for drying tissue, while improving cross machine profiling and drying uniformity. Results have proven that AirCap Heli can reduce 2-sigma values.

Using iRoll for sheet/roll temperature monitoring, case studies

Valmet iRoll Temperature is an online tool for measuring the temperature profiles of rolls, roll covers and paper webs. These three case studies describe how iRoll technology has helped mills reduce roll cover wear, eliminate cover failure and improve profiles and runnability.

Valmet list of best practices for wet pressing optimization

Wet pressing has an impact all the way from paper machine drying capacity and web runnability to end product properties. The secret of process efficiency often lies in making the right choices for the press section consumables.

Five questions that will help maximize roll cover effectiveness

Roll cover decisions are complex; the prices, performance characteristics and cover lifetimes vary considerably. Answering these five questions can guide papermakers in making a better choice among today's wide range of roll cover technologies.

Trim ribbon conveying for a more efficient and safer process

Ventilation equipment is needed at the winder or reel for several different purposes: dust removal, humidification, trim conveying and broke conveying. This article deals with trim ribbon conveying.
