English term or phrase: Linearboard
"Effluent from the linearboard machines and from the tissue mill is pumped."
"The supernatant liquid overflows from the settler into a collection sump from where it is pumped either as a recycle stream to the linearboard machine or to the recycle tank. The preferential flow is to supply linearboard"

Are "linearboard" and "linerboard" synonyms? Or is linearboard something different?

Selected answer:liner board/ linerboard
Explanation:
I've done some googling, and I find many references to "linear board" (note the space) which is clearly some part of a computer or similar control; I also find (a few) references to "linearboard" on foreign sites, and conclude that this is almost certainly an error on the writer's part.

After much thought, I asked my client and... yes, they meant linerboard, as Klaus said. But it does not seem to be an error for them... maybe it's some South African oddities. Anyway, thanks everybody for you help!

Explanation:
I think it must be two different things because I found this reference on an English language site (there are even pictures of the machine though you cannot identify the different components):
