INTRODUCTION Modern pulp and paper manufacturers require online monitoring and alert systems to support their operations. Automation allows for the quick and reliable control of processes and chemical dosing. Having a web-based customer portal and data dashboard interface not only gives customers access to vital information regarding operations it also enables chemical- supplier field-based personnel to identify operational gaps and provide potential solutions. Buckman has introduced its OnSite unit in more than one hundred customer sites. This interface along with EZe Monitor was created to meet specific customer needs for up-to-date operational insight. The level of control and automation provided is site specific dependent upon the process conditions of the customer and system variability. The following article outlines the features and benefits of the OnSite technology and how it when integrated with Buckmans EZe Monitor can deliver value for the customer. EZe Monitor Overview Manual and frequent operator testing was the best way to monitor and maintain process water quality and control in the past. Buckman introduced EZe Monitor to automate process monitoring to keep it in optimal condition at all times. EZe Monitor is offered in a variety of configurations and customised to track multiple chemical treatment levels to help ONLINE MONITORING By Magesh Muthumani and Darren Robinson Buckman WORLD PULPPAPER56 Improving online monitoring and alert systems maintain complete control over the process. Customers have been using EZe Monitor to control basic water quality parameters such as pH ORP and conductivity in addition to adjusting levels of treatment chemicals remotely. Accessible via Web or LAN EZe Monitor allows remote access to historic microbiological scale and corrosion control data. The level of control and automation provided is site specific dependent upon the process conditions of the customer and system variability Figure 1.
