Abstract

The maximum amounts of the retention-influencing variable stock components which can be added are determined as a function of a predetermined degree of flocculation and typical values of the stock suspension with the aid of a mathematical relationship, and control signals for metering retention aids are derived from the amounts so that the greatest possible retention can be achieved without exceeding a set-point for the degree of flocculation.
