Abstract
Dynamic process simulation has been adapted as a powerful tool for studying the behaviour of industrial processes operating under transient conditions. The use of simulation in the paper industry, however, has so far been very limited. In this paper, process dynamics of a modem, closed-cycle paper mill was studied using a computational simulation model. The scope of the model was base paper production process, starting from the pulp storage towers and ending to the reel of the paper machine. The model was used in simulation studies including disturbance propagation analyses and grade change studies. The model was also used for operator training purposes. In operator training, a real process control system, Valmet Damatic XD, was used to operate the simulator. All simulation runs were accomplished using the Advanced Paper Mill Simulator (APMS) simulation program. Dynamic process simulation turned out to be a powerful tool for verification of process and automation design as well as for operator training.
