Reliable flow measurement for hot and dust laden gases - single channel solution

The McON Air SIL flow measurement system is a single channel solution which works according a patented correlation principle. The system measures the time of flight of unique signal patterns created by particles contained in the gas. Because the principle is time based it is accurate and drift free over the entire lifetime.

Advantages & Benefits

• Reliable measurement of dust laden gases
• Temperature range up to 1000 °C/1800 °F
• Drift free - no calibration, no purging
• Virtually no maintenance
• SIL 2 version available
• Turn down ratio up to 25
• No K-Factors - direct time of flight measurement
• Hot tapping solution for full plant availability

Reliable flow measurement for hot and dust laden gases - single channel solution

The McON IR flow measurement system is a single channel solution which works according a patented correlation principle.

Online measurement system for measuring fuel mass flow

The patented MECONTROL Coal system helps you to

• Balance fuel flow to the burners
• Reduce fuel pulsations
• Manage mill heat balance and mill dynamics
• Reduce boiler load swings

Two independent measurement technologies

MECONTROL Coal utilizes two independent technologies to measure the mass-flow rate in pulverized coal pipes. The velocity measurement uses the time of flight of unique signal patterns created by particles contained in the gas. Density measurement is based on microwave resonance in the lower frequency range, matched to the typical pipe sizes in coal & biomass combustion

Advantages & Benefits

• Reliable mass-flow measurement of pulverised coal and biomass
• Independent measurement of velocity and density
• Drift free - no calibration
• No maintenance - no purging
• Virtually no maintenance
• No K-Factors - direct time of flight measurement

Ultra abrasion resistant temperature measurement

The McON Temp temperature sensors are designed for purpose. Super fast response time guarantees fast tracing of process temperature changes on mill outlet for better control of mill dynamics combined with high wear resistance.

Advantages & Benefits

• Ultra thin, low wear protection tube
• Super fast - T90 < 10s
• No thermal well necessary
• Fast tracing of temperature changes and swings
• Various lengths and measuring inserts available

The density dampers are designed for a long lifetime. The flow control element is orientated perpendicular to the pipe and does not create high flow velocities or critical particle impact to the unprotected pipe walls. The control element is multi layer hard surfacing protected, the valve body is protected by a ceramic liner.

Advantages & Benefits

• Control element perpendicular to pipe
• No coal deflection against pipe wall - therefore no pipe wear
• Abrasion resistant construction
• Available with Manual and automatic adjustable
• Available with flange or any kind of coupling
