The goal of a papermaker is to provide superior paper quality at the lowest possible cost. The intertwined nature of process variables and quality parameters generally make it difficult to effectively understand individual effects and therefore make the job of the optimization even more challenging. This paper discusses a Low Consistency Refining Optimization Six Step Process in detail, which allows papermakers to detangle the individual elements. Benchmark information is also provided for comparison of your individual process to the others in similar applications. In addition, other system considerations will also be discussed to provide more up-to-date understanding of refining systems.
