The wet-end dynamics of a paper mill was analyzed to characterize its dynamic behavior during the grade change of paper. The model representing the wet-end section is developed based on the mass balance relationships written for the simplified wet-end white water network. From the linearization of dynamic model, higher-order Laplace transfer functions were obtained followed by the reduction procedure to give simple lower-order models in the form of 1$^{st}$-order or 2$^{nd}$ -order plus dead times. The dynamic response of the wet-end is influenced both by the white water volume and by the level of wire retention. Effects of key manipulated variables such as the thick stock flow rate, the ash flow rate and the retention aid flow rate on the major controlled variables were analyzed by numerical simulations. The simple dynamic model developed in the present study can be effectively used in the operation and control of paper mills.s.

Ten years ago most papermakers were convinced that a system needs to be voluminous and heavy for controllability and stability. In order to improve grade changing dynamics, the author of this paper began developing a compact papermachine wet end. The results have proven that compactness is beneficial even more broadly. Quoting Voith$^1$the trend is now the opposite - the systematic collecting and direct feeding of the individual water flows back into the system". In its gasless form this is actually covered by a POM Technology Patent.tent.

In an effort to develop control strategies for the wet-end of paper machines, dynamic models for retention and formation processes have been developed. The retention process, including headbox total and filler consistencies, white water total and filler consistencies, the basis weight and the ash content of paper, can be modeled from first-principles (mass balances). To include the effect of wet-end chemistry variables, first-pass retention was included as a parameter dependent on operating conditions. In addition, dynamics of formation was simulated by developing an empirical model of formation and coupling with the dynamic models for the retention process. A series of experiments were performed using a pilot paper machine. The experimental results and the model predictions showed relatively good agreement.

본 연구에서는 제지공정에서의 wet-end 와 dry section 부분을 통합한 모델을 구하고 이를 바탕으로 하여 지종교체 공정의 모델예측제어 방법을 제안하였다. 폐회로 공정 인식기법을 이용하여 state-space 모델을 구한 후 지종교체 제어를 모사한 결과와 실제 제지공장의 지종교체 운전데이터를 비교 분석하였다. 입력 변수로서 이전까지는 간과되어 왔던 4가지 변수(thick stock, filler flow, speed, steam pressure), 그리고 출력변수로서 3가지 변수(basis weight, ash content, moisture content)를 고려하였으며, output trajectory는 1차 전달함수 형식으로 하여 적용하였다. 모델예측제어 모사결과를 지종교체 운전데이터와 비교하여 본 결과 지종교체 시간이 짧아지고 보다 안정적으로 정상상태에 이르는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 아울러 모델예측제어로 인하여 지종교체 이후 입력 변수들이 큰 진동이 없이 보다 신속하게 정상상태에 도달함을 확인하였다.

In this work an integrated model for paper plants combining wet-end and dry section is developed and a model predictive control scheme based on the plant model is proposed. Closed-loop process identification method is employed to produce a state-space model. Thick stock, filler flow, machine speed and steam pressure are selected as input variables and basis weight, ash content and moisture content are considered as output variables. The desired output trajectory is constructed in the form of 1st-order dynamics. Results of simulations for control of grade change operations are compared with plant operation data collected during the grade change operations under the same conditions as in simulations. From the comparison, we can see that the proposed model predictive control scheme reduces the grade change time and achieves stable steady-state.
