Biomass and waste incineration
High process stability and efficiency despite challenging fuels.
Smart control systems for complex combustion processes
The more heterogeneous the fuel, the greater the demands placed on a well-controlled process. At the same time, higher demands arise due to a tendency to become fouled or unplanned outages. Our digital solutions contribute to optimised combustion control with minimal control deviations, improve process quality and increase availability.
Waste incineration
At the heart of waste incineration plants is typically the combustion system—whether it takes the form of a grate furnace, a rotary kiln, or a fluidized bed. Optimized control of this process is crucial for maintaining a continuous (high) throughput, meeting emission standards, and ensuring reliable combustion. PiT Navigator can make a decisive difference here through continuous optimization of the relevant actuators.
However, even beyond the combustion process, reliable monitoring of component fouling and wear is particularly relevant in waste incineration plants to increase plant uptime, avoid downtime, or shorten downtime through good planning with sufficient lead time.
Biomass combustion
In addition to waste incineration, biomass serves as a substitute for fossil fuels in many applications, for example in the form of pellets, wood chips, wood dust, or other fuel types. Whether in purpose-built or retrofitted facilities, high efficiency and high availability are crucial to the plant’s economic viability.
Depending on the design and size, our solutions help to control the process in a stable and optimized manner, monitor performance, and reliably and robustly detect changes in the process, measurement technology, or plant using modern methods from data science, machine learning, and statistics. This allows measures to be taken early on and ensures the plant is operated optimally over the long term.
