Industry
Power generation
At thermal power plants, accurate fuel inventory and utility media control directly affect generation continuity. RETTAR radar technology handles the dust of coal yards and the humidity of cooling systems alike.
Typical applications and solutions
Coal stock control at power plant coal yards
3D coal yard monitoring provides accurate fuel volume data for supply planning and helps prevent downtime from fuel shortages.
Measurement challenges
Dust generation, coal self-heating, irregular pile shape.
Solution
3DPro2300 radar 3D scanner / 3DPro2500 laser scanner
Level control in surge tanks and cooling water reservoirs
Regular cooling water level measurement for turbine and boiler equipment ensures an adequate supply for production needs.
Measurement challenges
Steam interference, high humidity, varying tank geometry.
Solution
CFR6400 integrated radar level meter for liquids
Coal feed monitoring on the boiler house conveyor
Controlling coal flow on the belt ahead of the crushing station ensures even fuel feed and stable combustion in the boiler.
Measurement challenges
Variable coal particle size, conveyor vibration.
Solution
Laser profiler
Ash and slag level control in ash removal bins
Continuous level monitoring of ash and slag waste in storage bins prevents overflow and emergency shutdowns of the ash removal system.
Measurement challenges
Material abrasiveness, high temperature, build-up.
Solution
CFR6900 radar level meter + microwave point level switch
