Abstract

The invention relates to a method for improving the runnability of a printing press in the printing process. In the method, printing rolls are used whose cross-directional tension profile is measured in the paper manufacturing process. In the method, the printing rolls used in the printing process are selected by using as one selection criterion the cross-directional tension profile of the printing roll measured in the paper manufacturing process. Cross- directional tension profiles measured in the paper manufacturing process can be used for sorting the printing rolls used in the printing process and thus to tension profile parameter of the printing roll of a printing press and to prevent problems, such as the breakage of the paper web.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for measuring the nip pressure and/or pressure profile in the nip of a printing unit of a printing press. A force and/or pressure sensor, such as a pressure sensitive film, for example, an EMFi film sensor, is installed on the counter roller, rubber roller or roller forming the nip of a printing unit which participates in the printing unit in transferring printing ink onto the paper, plastic or other thin sheet-like material surface, wherein the pressure sensitive film is adapted to produce, in connection with a deformation of the force and/or pressure sensor, an electrical signal corresponding to the magnitude of the deformation. The rollers forming the nip are caused to rotate in relation to one another such that the nip pressure of the nip causes a deformation of the force and/or pressure sensor producing an electrical signal corresponding to the deformation of the nip. The nip pressure and/or pressure profile of the nip is calculated by using the electrical signal produced by the deformation of the force and/or pressure sensor.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an integrated process for producing diesel fuel or fuel additive from biological material by producing paraffins by a Fischer- Tropsch reaction on one hand and by a catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of bio oils and fats on the other hand. The two hydrocarbon streams are combined and distilled together. The invention also relates to the use of lignocellulosic material, such as by-products of the wood-processing industry for producing diesel fuel and to a method for narrowing the chain length distribution of Fischer- Tropsch derived diesel fuel. The invention provides a high-quality middle distillate fraction from various biological sources and most preferably from by-products of the wood-processing industry. The invention also relates to equipment for producing fuel form biological material, which comprises a hydrodeoxygenation reactor (3) for hydrocarbons, a cracking/isomerization reactor (11) for FT paraffins and a separation unit (12) for the combined hydrocarbons. Hydrogen is separated from light fractions in a separation unit (9) and reformed in the process. The equipment is advantageously integrated with a pulp and paper mill, which provides biological material and receives waste and energy.
