Abstract
Abstract This invention is directed to a filtration simulator. More specifically, this invention is directed to a Dynamic Filtration Simulator (DFS) and method of determining the interaction and effect on liquid flow of additives to paper stock in a papermaking machine, which comprises: (a) admixing one or more additives to be tested with paper stock in a slurry tank to form an aqueous paper stock slurry; (b) pumping said slurry from step (a) to a filtration means comprising permeable filter material, the interior of said filtration means being in fluid communication with an exit pipe which is in fluid communication with said slurry tank, whereby aqueous slurry permeates said filter material to form a permeate and said permeate flows through said exit pipe back to said slurry tank; (c) measuring the pressure and volume flow of the aqueous paper stock slurry into the filtration means; and (d) measuring the pressure and volume flow of the aqueous permeate.
