Protecting Filter Media &
Blowers
In Dust Collection Systems
Elburn,
IL –Monitor Technologies LLC is
pleased to announce the continued availability
of its DustAlarm(R) broken bag detector. This
instrument is used by dust collection systems in
a wide range of applications to monitor the exhaust
of bag houses and other types of dust collection
systems to identify problems with filter media
and other sources of increases in dust emissions.
The DustAlarm broken bag detector uses time-proven triboelectric technology to
continuously monitor the level of dust emission in dust collection system exhausts. When
an increase in emission level exceeds the user adjusted setting an alarm is triggered
as indicated by the unit's output relay changing state. The DustAlarm is
provided with a unique extended insulator to guard against material build-up
problems, as well as a unique quick-disconnect mounting connection fitting to
facility quick and easy maintenance when needed.
Monitor Technologies LLC is a leading supplier of level, flow, particle emission
and aeration instrumentation for the worldwide powder and bulk solids market.
The experience and market knowledge gained over almost five decades has earned
Monitor a reputation for providing high quality, reliable product solutions. Monitor
is located in Elburn Illinois, give us a call today and let us put our creative
solutions to work for you!
SiloPatrol® SE Measuring coal powder levels when nothing else will work ….
Coal-fired power plants are commonplace around the
world. In order for these power generating stations to create
huge amounts of electricity the turbines need to be feed with steam
and the steam created by boilers that are fired by … yep,
coal. But coal as it comes from the mining operations is not
what is fed to the burners. First it is ground or pulverized
into powder. It is not unusual for the coal powder to be stored
in silos awaiting the demand for it to be fed to the burners. The
inventory of coal powder in these silos needs to be monitored to
allow for efficient operation of the power plant.
So, how do we monitor the inventory of coal powder in a silo? Not
easily. In one typical application the power plant personnel
found that the only technology that would work reliably is the modern
smart weight & cable system from Monitor Technologies LLC, the
SiloPatrol® SE.
Anhui Tongling power plant in Anhui province in China had tried
almost ever technology possible to get a reliable level measurement
in their 5 coal powder silos. Radar, ultrasonic and others
were tried, but none worked reliably. It wasn’t until
Beijing Conasen walked in and proposed that the Tongling plant use
the SiloPatrol SE smart cable-based inventory monitoring system that
the power plant personnel found a reliable solution.
Mr. William Yuan, sales manager for Beijing Conasen indicates that
the power plant tried many major brands of ultrasonic, radar, and
other technologies but that due to good relations with the Tongling
plant personnel he was able to sell three SiloPatrol SE model SMU
sensors and an HMI operator interface to them. The units were
installed by plant personnel. Because of the heavy amount of
coal dust in the silos an air purge using dry compressed air was
used. The SiloPatrol sensor incorporates the patent-pending
use of Hall-effect sensor technology, a split-compartment enclosure,
microcontroller, redundant optics and many other valuable features
and technology to ensure reliable measurement even in challenging
dust applications like coal powder.
The SiloPatrol SE system has been working reliably and the plant
has since purchased two additional sensors and connected them into
the same HMI operator interface. This same sensor technology
is working reliably at other coal-fired power stations in China as
well.
