The ABB Carbon in Ash Monitor with closed loop control represents the most advanced technology available today for monitoring carbon content and continuously maintaining the quality of flyash produced by coal fired power plants. This patented real-time, non-extractive monitoring system incorporates advanced microwave technology for continuous, reliable, accurate measurement of carbon. The ABB Carbon in Ash Monitor with closed loop control reduces costs through improved combustion and creates additional revenue by reducing the negative environmental impact of flyash. A typical coal fired power plant can produce up to 500 tons of flyash in a single day. When this flyash contains too much carbon (unburned coal), it must be disposed of, usually in large costly landfills. By employing the ABB Carbon in Ash monitor with closed loop control, utilities can now regularly produce high quality, low carbon flyash that has significant commercial value, including use as a primary constituent of gypsum wallboard and blended cement. The use of flyash in cement production also results in a significant reduction in the generation of harmful greenhouse gasses. Consequently, enhanced coal combustion and flyash sales from a typical power plant can annually return upwards of $1,000,000 to a utility with environmentally friendly results. [Click to continue] |
