Metso Introduces UV Measurement with Sensors in Pulp and Paper Processes

UV measurement is now a standard part of Metso's inline brightness sensors to optimize chemical costs at DIP/RCF plants. The previous two inline brightness sensor models, Cormec5 and Cormec5 X, with different measurement capabilities will merge and become one. The new inline sensor with an enhanced measurement capability will carry the name Metso Cormec5 X. In addition to brightness and UV+ brightness, it also measures other important optical pulp properties, such as residual ink and color.

Metso Cormec5 X with its UV measurement has been well received by European DIP/RCF plants. The UV-based measurement can be used together with the industry standard brightness, effective residual ink content (ERIC) and CIELAB color measurements to achieve full benefit from a single-point inline measurement.
