ProMoVis Open Source ProMoVis är nu tillgänglig som Open Source Copyright and IP-rättigheter kommer att ägas av OProVAT EF ProMoVis är gratis, men för att kunna ha en inverkan på den framtida utvecklingen så måste man vara medlem i OProVAT Alla deltagare i SCOPE är välkommen som medlemmar i OProVAT Tredje parter som vill vara med i OProVAT måste beviljas medlemskap av styrelsen. Ansökan ska stödjas av medlemmar i OProVAT. Wolfgang Birk Control Engineering Group LTU 2012-10-24 Sida 6

Experiment Vi har inte kunnat genomföra experiment i anläggningen ännu. => Fokus på modelleringsarbete och modelanalys i huvudsak. Möte med Metso i Sundsvall gav en del nya perspektiv Osäkert om temperaturmätning i spalt kommer leder till bra resultat Variationerna på massan på inflödessidan mycket avgörande Analys av raffinören bör göras med hänsyn till detta Temperaturmätning TDC mätare ska nyttjas Ger oss information om spalt och om temperatur i en punkt Wolfgang Birk Control Engineering Group LTU 2012-10-24 Sida 9
