Control strategy implementation for biomass combustion
EVEREST AUTOMATION has developed two control units, especially designed for the wood processing industry, to automate thermal power plants that use wood-residue based combustibles.
Level 1 SCAC Control Unit:
- Constant and modulating control of combustible feed according to demand;
- Control and modulate the exhaust fan to maintain stable pressure in the boiler and ensure proper heat exchange;
- Control and modulate primary and secondary air feeds to maintain stable combustion and minimise particle emissions into the atmosphere.
Level 2 SCAC Control Unit:
- Constant and modulating control of combustible feed according to demand;
- Control and modulate the exhaust fan to maintain stable pressure in the boiler and ensure proper heat exchange;
- Control and calibrate primary and secondary air feed to maintain combustion at the highest possible level of efficiency and minimise particle emissions into the atmosphere;
- Ensure optimal combustion (humidity, wood species, granulometry) since the combustion parameters are auto regulated based on data collected by the combustion gas analyser.
