Sulfur / Sodium Simulation

The document describes a sulfur/sodium simulation model that: 1. Is an efficient tool for understanding factors affecting the sulfur/sodium balance in a pulp mill. 2. Calculates the stationary balance based on input/output settings and draws a vector diagram. 3. Can be used to simulate long-term behavior, test alternatives, and troubleshoot by changing input/output values during the simulation.

Sulfur / sodium simulation
model

• Efficient tool to clarify


factors affecting S / Na
balance in a pulp mill
• Calculates stationary
balance according to
input and output settings
and draws a vector
diahgram based on the
balance
• Runs in standard web
browsers, no installaltion
procedures needed
Sulfur / sodium simulation
model

• Mill-specific information
can be pre-programmed
easily
• The initial situation of
the mill can be set to the
model and effects of
different actions can be
tested
• Can be used e.g. in
teaching, trouble-
shooting and testing
alternatives
Sulfur / sodium simulation
model

• Possibility to simulate
the long-term behaviour
of S/Na balance, liquor
reserves and sulfidity
• Possibility to change
input/output values
during simulation
• 1-3 fiberlines
Sulfur / sodium simulation
model

Example:
• Problems with too high
sulfur input in a modern
pulp mill with low
emissions
• Sulfidity increases
rapidly (can be verified
by simulation)
• How to solve it?
Sulfur / sodium simulation
model

Example – step 1:
• Decrease sulfuric acid
usage in tall oil
production – it can be
partly replaced with e.g.
carbon dioxide or
sodium bisulfite from
the mill
• You can feed all
additions and losses
either as kg/ADt or
tons/year. The model
transfers them to kg S
and Na / ADt produced.

Example – step 2:
• Remove sodium bisulfite
from scrubbers – it has
high sulfur content.
Bisulfite can be used
e.g. in the bleach line.

• You can choose the


additions and losses
accuracy, 0-2 decimals

Example
• Problem solved!
• This can be verified by
simulating

model

The model has three pre-


programmed tasks:
1. Own initial values:
• The simulation loads
the mill-specific
situation which you can
install
2. Typical old mill
3. Typical modern mill

model

• Extensive and
understandable
instructions included
• Very easy to use; you
don’t need to be a
”professional” to be able
to use this
Sulfur / sodium simulation
model

• The simulation model


have been tested with
several existing mills
and is found to be
corresponding
• We are happy to put
your mill-specific data
into the model in order
to make it ready-to-use
for your purposes!
