Recaust Optimization
Maximize liquor strength while maintaining safe and stable operations
Our advanced recaust control and optimization strategy maximizes liquor strength while maintaining safe and stable operations.
Real‐time liquor analysis is provided by combining conventional lab tests, Fourier Transform Near Infrared (FT‐NIR) liquor analyzers, and conductivity measurements using an extended Kalman filter (EKF). The solution then uses those continuous measurements to employ a model-based multivariable control strategy with automated dynamic setpoints based on current operating conditions that ensure efficient operation at all times. Optimization of the recausticizing reaction reduces operating costs and improves overall stability throughout the recaust cycle.
