process optimization

AFT’s process optimization services combine the process expertise of our application engineers with AFT’s proprietary SimAudit™ process simulation and mill-based process audits.

AFT’s team of application engineers are highly experienced, with backgrounds in pulp and paper mill operations, various equipment suppliers and research organizations. The insights and efforts of these individuals are embodied in AFT’s established and rigorous procedures for assessing and auditing pulp screen systems. The data obtained is then analyzed with SimAudit™, a unique tool with a range of powers, not least of which is the ability to reveal in detail not only the current status of a screening operation, but its potential for optimization. The graphs below illustrate the modelling of contaminant removal as determined through a performance audit with AFT SimAudit™

Typical benefits for customers from AFT SimAudit™ include:

• Higher screen or system capacity
• Higher accept cleanliness of pulp
• Reduced long fiber loss
• Reduced power consumption
• Improved screen or system runnability
