Mass flow measurement with SolidFlow 2.0

Production of montan wax

Application

In an opencast mine, brown coal with a very high content of wax is mined. From this coal, raw montan wax is obtained in different process steps. Therefore, the coal is crushed, dried and impinged with an environmentally friendly solvent to separate the wax from the coal. The acquired montan wax is transported into an evaporation system, where it evaporizes in several stages. After that it is transported via pumps to spray towers, where wax balls (wax granulates) are produced.
At the outlet of the spray towers the granulate falls through a down-stream sieve into a pipe. Our customer’s aim was to determine the quantity of the obtained material continuously.

Process data
Costumer: Romonta, Amsdorf (Germany)
Product: Montan wax, granulate
Quantity: 6 t/h
Installation place: Pipe after spray towers
Function: Measurement in freefall after silo

Solution

The SolidFlow 2.0 has been specially developed for measuring solid volumes, conveyed through pipelines. It continuously measures a mass flow up to 20 t/h in freefall and pneumatic conveying and has an active roping compensation.
Thereby, measuring errors caused by stratification can be compensated.
In the described application, wax granulate is measured in a pipe in freefall, therefore the quantity of the produced wax granulate can be determined and controlled continuously. Disruptions in the production process can be detected quickly.

Customer benefit
• simple process control
• no installations in the material stream
• high reliability through active rope compensation

Continuous dust monitoring with AirSafe
Avoidance of Ex areas Application A producer of dry mortar needs dry sand and trass for the production process. Both materials are dried in a hot gas heater at a temperature of 500 °C before they are admixed. The hot gas heater uses brown coal dust as combustion material. The brown coal dust, which is stored in a silo, is transported via a rotary valve in free fall to a distribution plate. From there it is blown by an airstream into the drying furnace. The rotary valve and the distribution plate are located in the silo housing. Extreme dust formation, caused by a leakage, can cause an Ex zone in this area. Therefore the plant operator looks for a prompt possibility to detect dust formation. The plant is shut down when a safety threshold is reached, which prevents the development of an explosive atmosphere.

Goodbye baffle plate! Continuous measurement of great mass flows without old-fashioned, mechanical techniques
Goodbye baffle plate!
Continuous measurement of great mass flows without old-fashioned, mechanical techniques Baffle plates for continuous measurement of bulk flow rates are used in many plants, where solids are handled in the processes. This mechanical technique offers many advantages compared to partial weighing of bulk solids because no more material has to be taken out of the process. Nevertheless, baffle plates entail some disadvantages, especially during the installation. Those disadvantages are eliminated with the MaxxFlow HTC by SWR engineering as a system for the solid flow metering. In principle, MaxxFlow HTC can be used in all areas, where large volumes of bulk material have to be measured after mechanical conveyor elements, such as spiral conveyors, rotary conveyors or similar mechanical discharge plants. An upper limit for the throughput does not exist. Any material volume can be measured – regardless of hourly performance amounts of 50, 180, 290 t/h or more. The previous disadvantages like installation height or necessary modification measures for mechanical
