Title: Web pick-up point for the paper/cardboard web between the former and press sections has structured movement paths reducing overpressure
Inventor: SALMINEN SAMPPA
IPC: D21F2/00
Filed: 1999-11-19
Abstract: Web pick-up point for the paper/cardboard web between the former and press sections has structured movement paths for the fourdriniers and pick-up blanket to deflect the carried air streams and reduce overpressure.  At the web (W) pick-up point (N0), between the web former and press sections, the shortest gap (d) between the outer surface (30a) of the pick-up blanket (30) and the outer circumference of the leading guide roller (12') of the outer fourdrinier (10) is <= 300 mm. The rising angle ( alpha ) between the tangent plane (T1) from the circumferences of the guide rollers (12'.32') and the horizontal plane (VT) is  <= 80 deg . The extension (C1) of the path (C) of the pick-up blanket (30), between two guide rollers (32',32), intersects (P1) a vertical plane (PT) through the center (M12') of the axis of the guide roller (12') for the outer fourdrinier (10), at a point over the intersection (P0) of the vertical plane (PT) and the circumference of the fourdrinier guide roller (12'). The air stream (I1), carried by the pick-up blanket (30), is not directed at the pick-up point (N0), but is detached from the blanket surface by the centrifugal forces where the blanket (30) is deflected round the first guide roller (32') and the normal overpressure at the pick-up point can be reduced. The outer fourdrinier (10) pumps air (I2) from the zone (50) in front of the pick-up point N0), defined by the inner fourdrinier (20) and the pick-up blanket (30).  The rising angle ( alpha ) is pref.  <= 60 deg . The loop angle ( beta ) of the pick-up blanket (30) at the leading guide roller (32') is \-45 deg  or \-90 deg . The extension (C1) of the pick-up blanket path (C) intersects the path (D) of the outer fourdrinier (10) between its guide rollers (12',12) at a point (P2) at a gap from the intersection (P0) of the vertical plane (PT) with the circumference of the first guide roller (12'). The leading guide roller (32'), for the pick-up blanket (30), is a guide roller in front of the pick-up roller (31) in the direction (S30) of the blanket movement. One or more intermediate rollers can be between the pick-up roller (31) and the leading guide roller (32') of the blanket (30).

Abstract: A process for producing a cordierite-based ceramic
honeycomb structure, includes, kneading raw materials for
cordierite formation with a forming aid to obtain a raw
material batch, subjecting the raw material batch to
extruding to obtain a formed honeycomb structure, and
subjecting the formed honeycomb structure to drying and
firing in this order to obtain the cordierite-based ceramic
honeycomb structure whose crystal phase is composed mainly of
cordierite. The raw material batch contains 65% by weight or
more of raw materials for cordierite formation comprising
talc, kaolin and aluminum hydroxide and having crystal water.
The kaolin has an average particle diameter of 5 µm or more
and a BET specific surface area of 10 m 2 /g or less and is
contained in the raw material batch in an amount of 10 % by
weight or more. According to the process, the formability
during extruding, particularly lubricity and shape stability
is improved and there can be produced a cordierite-based
ceramic honeycomb structure having a thin partition wall and
a high cell density and possessing improved mechanical
strength (isostatic fracture strength) and improved catalyst
coatability.

Abstract: The invention relates to the modification of a laser beam produced,
for purposes of aiming at a target, by instruments for measuring, controlling
and treatment, such as pyrometers. It is known to provide such instruments
with a single laser beam for aiming purposes. It is also known to provide
such instruments with a plurality of divergent beams serving to define an
area of a target. In one embodiment of the present invention, a pyrometer
(101B) contains a laser beam production unit (108) which projects a single
central laser beam out through a hole (115) in a collar which is a push-fit in
a hole in the pyrometer casing. A beam production member (116) is
releasably attachable to the instrument by a slot (118) in the member (116)
which is a sliding fit over a neck (115A) of the collar. When so attached, a
beam splitter lens (120) of the member (116) is located in the path of the
single beam to split it into a plurality of fractional beams. Thus, by
detaching or attaching the member (116) to the instrument, i.e. by moving
the beam splitter lens (120) out of or into the path of the single central laser
beam, there is provided either a single aiming beam, or a plurality of
fractional beams for defining an area of a target.

Abstract: A first combustible gas stream containing hydrogen sulphide is subjected to treatment in a first Claus plant including a first thermal Claus stage. Part of the hydrogen sulphide content of a second combustible gas stream containing hydrogen sulphide is burned in at least one further thermal Claus stage. The combustion in the further thermal Clause stage is supported by oxygen-enriched air having an oxygen mole fraction of at least about 0.25 or by oxygen. Resulting sulphur dioxide in the further thermal Clause stage reacts with residual hydrogen sulphide to form sulphur vapour which is condensed out of the effluent gas from the further thermal Claus stage to form a sulphur-depleted effluent gas stream. A first control signal is generated which is a function of the flow rate of the second gas. A second control signal which is a function of the hydrogen sulphide/sulphur dioxide mole ratio in the sulphur-depleted effluent stream is also generated. The control signals are employed in setting the rate at which the combustion-supporting gas is supplied to the second thermal Claus stage.
