The SafePoint® rotary paddle bin monitor provides the
ultimate in fail-safe performance wherever critical continuous
operation
must be
ensured. Detection
of both material presence/absence and its own operational
status is
performed on a continuous basis.
TrueCap® RF capactance probes are designed to provide
a high level of sensitivity, stability and durability for
powder and bulk solids applications, as well as liquid and
slurry applications. The Model MK2 is a state-of-the-art
sensor providing maximum performance, reliability and value.

where protrusion into a vessel is not acceptable.
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.
