Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Efficiency decline in the recovery cycle of Kraft pulp and paper mills can create dynamic conditions that lead to evaporator scaling and poor combustion properties at the recovery boiler. In extreme cases, these dynamic conditions can evolve into production disruptions and mill shutdowns. Currently, operational strategies are often evaluated with steady-state models without the capability to simulate dynamics, leading to misinformed operational decisions. Dynamic modelling offers the opportunity to provide accurate real-time information to operators to pre-emptively manage dynamic conditions before shutdowns are required. To this end, this research project developed a dynamic model of a Canadian softwood/hardwood pulp mill using CADSIM Plus with model calibration from a mill-wide sampling campaign. Time and impact estimates of common dynamic conditions were determined to inform and improve existing operational strategies. Further, linking the model to mill measurements would equip operators with real-time chemistry measurement leading to optimized process control.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
