Avoidance of hazardous dust concentrations through monitoring

Reliable and continous measurement of the dust concentration. Case study on dust measurement in exhaust air, so system can be shut down before a hazardous dust concentration is reached.
A well-known food manufacturer in Germany measures the dust value in mg/m3 in its exhaust air upstream of the fan in order to switch it off before a hazardous dust concentration is reached.
The ignitable mixture of its dust is 30 g/m3. By calibrating to mg/m3, the desired switching point to turn off the system can be stored exactly. This way, the customer can be sure that the system is shut down before a hazardous dust concentration is reached.

Process data:

  • Customer: Food manufacturer (Germany)
  • Material: Sugar dust
  • Installation: Clean gas side in front of the blower / Safety shutdown to protect the fan
  • Function: Reliable measurement of the dust content

Solution:

The ProSens sensor provided the solution to the application described which is used to continuously measure the concentration of the clean gas side after filters.
The ProSens uses ElectroDynamic technology and through its robust and durable construction, provides a measurement solution to almost any application.
A measurement is therefore possible with duct diameters of up to DN 2000 without any problems.
The stainless steel measuring electrode is optionally available with a Teflon or ceramic coating, so even sticky and abrasive dusts can be measured.
If dust should nevertheless accumulate on the sensor, a rinsing connection is available for cleaning the electrode. The sensor is attached to the duct by means of a TriClamp connector. This makes it easy to pull it out of the duct during the annual inspection and to clean it in a simple way. In addition, the measurement has numerous self-checking functions, which offers the customer the security of a functioning measurement.
In the mentioned application, 20 ProSens systems are already in use now.

Customer benefits:

  • Early avoidance of hazardous conditions
  • Reliable and continuous dust measurement in mg/m3
  • Low maintenance
  • Output of the dust content as a trend or as an absolute measured value

Mass flow measurement for exact dosing for flue gas desulphurization
Optimization of the lime hydrate-water dosing In a waste incineration plant, hydrated lime is used in the dry sorption process for flue gas desulphurization (SO2 binding). The amount of hydrated lime is to be measured and water is to be added to bind the SO2. Since the throughput had not been measured so far and thus the incorrect amount of water added, the lime-water mixture in the collection tank clumped together. As a result, the tank had to be opened regularly to carry out the laborious process of removing the clumped material, resulting in downtimes. Process data - Customer: Incineration plant (Germany) - Material: Hydrated lime - Installation: Insulated free fall shaft downstream of a screw conveyor - Function: Optimization of the lime hydrate-water dosing Solution The SolidFlow 2.0 with extended sensor shaft (insulation) is used to measure and monitor the amount of hydrated lime actually pumped. The sensor continuously measures solids of up to 20 t/h in free fall or pneumatic conveying. In the

Precise flow rate measurement instead of theoretical calculations Case Study: Mass flow measurement of Waelz oxide
Precise flow rate measurement instead of theoretical calculations
Case Study: Mass flow measurement of Waelz oxide Residual materials containing zinc are processed using the Waelz process method which utilizes a rotary kiln. Waelz oxide is the main recovered product from this process. Up to now, theoretical calculations have determined the quantity of Waelz oxide produced at the plant. In future, the exact quantity produced will be recorded in the process control system. Process data: Customer: Manufacturer of Waelz oxide (Germany) Material: Waelz oxide Quantity: Approx. 5 t/h Installation: In the pipe Function: Precise measurement of the flow rate Evaluation unit: DIN Rail Solution: The SolidFlow 2.0 can be calibrated and transmits the precise data to the control system. It can be installed in free-fall or in pneumatic transport systems. Ease of installation and the simple calibration feature makes the SolidFlow 2.0 an extremely effective flowmeter for bulk solids. Due to the robust, durable design, the measuring system is almost maintenance free. The sensor

Volume flow measurement for regulating the air supply of a raw mill Control of the air volume to a raw mill is monitored for more process reliability and energy savings in a cement plant.
Volume flow measurement for regulating the air supply of a raw mill
Control of the air volume to a raw mill is monitored for more process reliability and energy savings in a cement plant. In a cement plant, the air flow to a raw mill is monitored. The objective of this monitoring is to achieve the highest possible efficiency of the raw mill. Controlling the supply air to such a vertical mill can also lead to considerable energy savings, as the maximum air volume does not always have to be used, but can be adapted to the process. Up to now, air velocities have mostly been measured using differential pressure measurements. However, these clog very quickly due to the high dust load in the duct. The clogging of the differential pressure measurement results in a permanently high load on the fan, which in turn leads to wasted energy. Process data * Customer: Cement plant (Germany) * Material: Raw meal * Dust load: 20 g/m3 * Installation: In the inlet to the vertical mill * Function: Control of the air volume for more process reliability and energy savings Solution The AirFlow P is a sensor specially developed for measuring air volumes in dusty

Mass flow measurement in milk production
Mass flow measurement for early detection of blockages and control of the material flow for the downstream dryer. In the milk production, the refinement of the raw milk is an crucial process step. An important part of this is the handling with casein. Our customer in the milk powder industry has different storage containers with the casein standing on weighing cells. Those containers are emptied via rotary valves. From there the casein is transported to the dryer and to the following processes. Process data Customer: Casein manufacturer (milk refining) Material: Casein Installation: In a pneumatic line downstream of a storage container Function: Material flow monitoring of the upstream rotary valve. Early detection of blockages and control of the material flow for the downstream dryer.

Online moisture measurement during sand conveying Replacement of manual material sampling
Online moisture measurement during sand conveying
Replacement of manual material sampling For the production of cement, sand is taken as raw material either directly from ship delivery or from internal storage facilities. Experience shows that the material has a higher moisture level when delivered by ship. Previously, the material moisture was checked manually in the laboratory. The customer was now looking for a continuous moisture monitoring system for the sand transportation. Process data: Customer: Cement manufacturer (Germany) Material: Sand Moisture range: 0 – 10% Installation: Conveyor belt (installation with shuttle) Function: Online moisture measurement during sand conveying Solution: The M-Sens 3 is a sensor for continuous measurement of the material moisture of bulk solids. It measures very accurately and is reliable, robust and easy to operate. In the application described, the M-Sens 3 is installed directly on the conveyor belt with a shuttle.
