Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a system that adjusts the operational parameters of a fiber filter apparatus to keep measured properties indicative of paper quality, such as the paper's porosity, within desired value ranges. A feedback loop may be set up in which input properties are read, such as the paper's porosity and the pollution content of the filtrate leaving the fiber filter. These inputs go into a predictive model that determines how to adjust the fiber filter's operational parameters in order to move the measured paper quality properties into their desired value ranges while accommodating other constraints on the fiber filter's operation. The model looks at positive and negative correlations between the operational parameters and the measured inputs. Having processed the inputs and predicted an outcome, the predictive model directs controllers to change the operational parameters of the fiber filter. The input properties are again read, and the feedback loop is repeated.
