The thermal treatment of household and industrial waste in waste-to-energy plants is increasing in popularity as it solves two issues in one – waste management and sustainable energy. Endress+Hauser offers a complete range of solutions for waste-to-energy plants, from temperature and pressure measurements in the incineration area to analytical measurements in the water treatment plant and level and flow measurements in the gas scrubbing system.
Temperature and flow measurement – temperature and flow measuring points are everywhere in waste-to-energy plants. Endress+Hauser has solutions to suit all areas, from general purpose or heavy duty probes and thermowells to quick response flow switches, DP flow, vortex and electromagnetic flowmeters for water, air and steam. There are also primary elements such as venturis, orifice plates and pitot tubes.
In the combustion chamber – the harsh environment of the combustion chamber often leads to a high attrition rate of instruments. When it comes to reliable temperature measurement and device longevity, specially engineered thermowells offer outstanding device protection, minimising maintenance and repairs and keeping the plant up and running.
In the boiler drum – water level measurement in the boiler drum is a critical measurement with regard to plant safety, steam quantity and turbine control. Endress+Hauser’s Deltabar DP transmitter is a proven fit as it is suitable for use in the high temperatures and pressures experienced here. As an alternative technology, Levelflex guided radars, are also suitable for this application. Suitable for temperatures up to 450°C and pressures up to 400 bar, Levelflex provides accurate level measurement in all steam applications. With automatic gas phase compensation, Levelflex maintains continuous accuracy and control even in changing process conditions.
Water treatment – when it comes to water treatment, Stamolys colourimetric analysers provide a compact photometric analysis system for silicate measurement in ultrapure water and boiler feedwater, preventing damage to turbine blades and keeping the plant running at optimum.
A partner through the life cycle
Endress+Hauser is always on hand to help. Its range of support tools such as W@M – Life Cycle Management fits seamlessly with a range of services such as spares, repairs, calibration services and maintenance contracts to provide customers with outstanding tailor-made support.
