Valmet Residual Measurement provides immediate information about bleachability when installed before the bleaching tower. It is based on pre-chemical consumption (feed-forward), allowing for a fast response to adjust chemical addition controls. When installed after the bleaching tower, it measures the residual bleaching chemical, providing accurate feedback for chemical dosage control and process equipment protection.

The updated Residual Measurement is equipped with the Valmet Bridge user interface, a touch screen control platform that is today a standard with Valmet sensors. With comprehensive diagnostics and Valmet industrial internet-ready capabilities, the Valmet Bridge user interface provides intuitive access to transmitter operation and Valmet’s remote services. The sensor improves measurement and control accuracy by eliminating under- or overdosing of bleaching chemicals. It ensures the exact chemical dosage for lignin removal and brightness control, resulting in chemical savings and better-quality of fibers. Additionally, the operation is safer due to no excess residual.
