Pulp & Paper
Typical Applications in Pulp & Paper Production
Pulping & Stock Preparation
Pulping and stock preparation involve pulp slurry, process water, recycled fiber, and chemical additives. Stable flow, pressure, and tank level measurement helps maintain consistent pulp supply before refining, washing, or paper machine feeding.
Common Measurement Needs:
- Flow measurement for pulp stock, process water, and chemical additives
- Pressure monitoring in stock pumps and pipelines
- Level measurement in pulping tanks, stock chests, and slurry vessels
Recommended Instruments:
Electromagnetic flowmeter · Pressure transmitter · Level transmitter
Bleaching & Chemical Dosing
Bleaching and chemical treatment lines require accurate chemical feed control to achieve target pulp brightness while reducing chemical waste. Reliable measurement is also important for safe storage and transfer of bleaching agents and additives.
Common Measurement Needs:
- Flow measurement for bleaching chemicals, water, and additives
- Pressure monitoring in dosing and mixing lines
- Level monitoring in chemical storage tanks and dosing vessels
Recommended Instruments:
Electromagnetic flowmeter · Coriolis flowmeter · Pressure transmitter · Level transmitter
Paper Forming & Stock Flow
Paper machines depend on stable stock flow and whitewater circulation to maintain sheet formation, basis weight, and paper quality. Accurate measurement around the headbox, stock pipelines, and chest tanks helps keep the paper machine running consistently.
Common Measurement Needs:
- Flow measurement for pulp stock, whitewater, and approach flow lines
- Pressure monitoring in headboxes, pumps, and stock pipelines
- Level measurement in chest tanks, wire pits, and headbox systems
Recommended Instruments:
Electromagnetic flowmeter · Pressure transmitter · Level transmitter

FAQ
Whitewater contains fibers and additives that can affect meter performance. ARTang instruments can handle these conditions, and we recommend positioning meters at locations with sufficient straight piping and flow conditioning to maintain accuracy.
High fiber content and variable flow can cause unstable readings. ARTang flowmeters are designed for high-solids liquids, and we provide guidance on proper installation, straight-run lengths, and calibration to maintain accurate and repeatable measurement.
Our transmitters support 4–20 mA, HART, and Modbus RTU/TCP outputs. We provide guidance on wiring, signal mapping, and SCADA/DCS integration so real-time flow and level data can be monitored and alarms triggered automatically.
Provide the fluid type (pulp, whitewater, chemical dosing), pipe size, flow range, pressure, temperature, solids content, connection type, output signal, and any chemical/corrosion considerations.
