Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring the condition of a continuous element (44) moving in a fiber web or paper finishing machine, said monitoring being performed with a rotating machine element (41), which is equipped with a sensor assembly (24) that measures force or pressure and against which the continuous element moves. In the method, the machine element is made to rotate against the continuous element, a measurement signal (25) is generated between the machine element and the continuous element with the sensor assembly, and a cross-directional profile (21) of force or pressure generated between the machine element and the continuous element is formed from the measurement signal. Said moving continuous element is a fabric (32, 33) installed in a fabric run (22, 23) traveling via the machine element. In the method, the fabric is additionally installed in a fabric run, wherein it moves via said machine element equipped with a sensor assembly, a reference profile (35) is formed for the cross-directional profile after installing the fabric in the fabric run, the cross-directional profile formed from the measurement signal and representing force or pressure generated between the machine element and the fabric is compared with the reference profile, and information (37) is produced from the comparison for monitoring the condition of the fabric. The invention also relates to a corresponding system and a computer program product.

Abstract: Lignin-rich starting material is suspended in a first medium, which is acidic and aqueous, to form a aqueous acidic suspension, which is heated and allowed to form two continuous phases, a thermoplastic lignin phase and an aqueous phase. The thermoplastic lignin phase is separated from the aqueous phase and passed through a shape giving process into a second medium which is at a temperature lower than that of the thermoplastic lignin phase and in which the thermoplastic lignin phase is essentially insoluble. Solid lignin formed in the second medium is recovered.

Abstract: The invention relates to an industrial fabric and its use. The industrial fabric (1) comprises several machine direction (MD) yarns (2, 2a, 2b) and several cross machine direction (CMD) yarns (3). The MD-yarns are twisted relative their longitudinal axis so that the twisted yams have sloped surfaces (4) at least on a web side surface (P) of the textile. The textile is usable in paper machine, pulp machine or filtering machine.

Abstract: An electrostatic precipitator for removing particulates from boiler flue gas, the electrostatic precipitator comprising: discharge electrodes and collecting electrodes fitted in a gas passage, said electrodes being arranged in at least two electrical fields that are placed successively in relation to gas flow, the electrical field establishing at least one electrical unit in transversal direction of said gas passage, the electrical unit constituting a portion of the precipitator having ability to be de-energised independently, separately from the other electrical units of the electrostatic precipitator. The first electrical field of said at last two electrical fields is arranged to be first in said gas flow. The first electrical field comprises more electrical units than a second field following said first field.
