The RET-5533 PeakAsh measures total consistency 0.01% to 2% and ash consistency from 0.01% to 0.7% in pulp suspensions in the range. It can be calibrated to secure stable and accurate ash consistency based on laboratory ash determination. Ash and total consistency values are independent of variation in pulp brightness or color.

• Optimize dosage of retention chemicals and save costs
• Precise ash measure
• Tight ash and total retention control
• Facilitates faster grade changes
• Closed loop ash and retention control
