Abstract
A method for suppressing sedimentation of suspended substances is a method for suppressing sedimentation of suspended substances in water at the bottom of a tank disposed in a water system in papermaking equipment, comprising a step of blowing an oxygen-containing gas into the water, for stirring and aeration; a step of detecting a change with time in existence states of the suspended substances in the tank by the stirring and the aeration; and a control step of feeding at least one of an oxygen-containing gas and a slime control agent to the tank based on the detection result to suppress the sedimentation of the suspended substances in the tank.
Claims3
A method for suppressing sedimentation of suspended substances, wherein the method is for suppressing sedimentation of suspended substances in water at a bottom of a tank disposed in a water system in papermaking equipment, the method comprising:
- an aeration step of blowing an oxygen-containing gas into water which exists in the tank, for stirring and aeration;
- a detection step of detecting a change with time in existence states of suspended substances which exist in the water in the tank by the stirring and the aeration;
- and
- a control step of feeding at least one of an oxygen-containing gas and a slime control agent to the tank based on a detection result in the detection step during operation of the papermaking equipment to suppress sedimentation of the suspended substances in the tank,
- wherein, in the detection step, the change with time in existence states of the suspended substances which exist in the water in the tank is detected based on a difference of a plurality of measurement results measured in terms of temperature or turbidity by at least either one among a thermometer, a turbidimeter, and an MLSS meter, and wherein the thermometer, the turbidimeter, and the MLSS meter respectively include a plurality of thermometers, a plurality of turbidimeters, and a plurality of MLSS meters disposed in a height direction of the tank.
A method for suppressing pitch trouble, wherein the method is for suppressing production of pitch from a tank disposed in a water system in papermaking equipment, the method comprising:
- an aeration step of blowing an oxygen-containing gas into water which exists in the tank, for stirring and aeration;
- a detection step of detecting a change with time in existence states of suspended substances which exist in the water in the tank by the stirring and the aeration;
- and
- a control step of feeding at least one of an oxygen-containing gas and a pitch control agent to the tank based on a detection result in the detection step during operation of the papermaking equipment to suppress production of pitch in the tank,
- wherein, in the detection step, the change with time in existence states of the suspended substances which exist in the water in the tank is detected based on a difference of a plurality of measurement results measured in terms of temperature or turbidity by at least either one among a thermometer, a turbidimeter, and an MLSS meter, and wherein the thermometer, the turbidimeter, and the MLSS meter respectively include a plurality of thermometers, a plurality of turbidimeters, and a plurality of MLSS meters disposed in a height direction of the tank.
A method for detecting sedimentation of suspended substances, wherein the method is for detecting sedimentation of suspended substances in water at a bottom of a tank disposed in a water system in papermaking equipment, the method comprising:
- an aeration step of blowing an oxygen-containing gas into water which exists in the tank, for stirring and aeration;
- and
- a detection step of detecting sedimentation of suspended substances based on a change with time in existence states of suspended substances which exist in the water in the tank by the stirring and the aeration,
- wherein, in the detection step, the change with time in existence states of the suspended substances which exist in the water in the tank is detected based on a difference of a plurality of measurement results measured in terms of temperature or turbidity by at least either one among a thermometer, a turbidimeter, and an MLSS meter, and wherein the thermometer, the turbidimeter, and the MLSS meter respectively include a plurality of thermometers, a plurality of turbidimeters, and a plurality of MLSS meters disposed in a height direction of the tank.
