Combustion & Temperature Controls Help Improve Unit Efficiency
Our combustion control systems can provide coordinated
control of firing-rate, fuel, air and feedwater demand for
industrial and utility boilers. For industrial/process heating
applications, our control systems help maintain tight zone
temperature control, and can be expanded to include
pre-programmed cycle periods (e.g., heating, ramp soak,
cooling), recipe management and material handling of product.
Our field proven control strategies help:
• Enhance combustion efficiency.
• Simplify boiler/furnace operation.
• Reduce start-up time.
• Improve operator understanding of the combustion process.
Our combustion control offerings feature:
CombustionMaster™– a programmable
controller-based combustion/temperature control system.
CombustionMaster provides dynamic, graphic displays via
Rockwell Automation’s family of ViewAnyWare products, or third
party software which allows the operator to easily interact with
the combustion process. Password protected loop tuning displays
and combustion/firing curve displays allow engineers to access
controller gains, alarm limits and other tunable parameters
without the need of an engineering workstation or programming
software.
Combustion/Temperature Control Systems –
in addition to our CombustionMaster solutions, Rockwell
Automation’s team of experts builds combustion/temperature
control systems employing many of the Allen-Bradley control and
I/O platforms available today. An experienced Rockwell
Automation engineer is ready to assist you in selecting the best
control and I/O platform for your specific project.
Automated Balance of Plant Controls HelpSimplify/Centralize Plant Operations
Rockwell Automation provides control for process
related auxiliary equipment integrated with our
combustion/temperature control or as separate stand-alone
systems. Our automated balance of plant controls can help:
• Centralize control room operations.
• Schedule required maintenance based on timely
reports and logs of critical parameters.
• Improve process efficiency via coordinated control
of conveyors, pumps and motors.
A few of our auxiliary control solutions include:
Coal yard handling control systems – designed to
accommodate any configuration of coal handling equipment. The
extended range of our communication networks and
the modularity of our input/output subsystem allows us to
offer control from “dumper-to-bunker” economically. Standard
algorithms provide manual and automatic control of feeders,
breakers, crushers, conveyors, trippers and related equipment.
Sequenced starting of conveyors includes “proof of flow path”
prior to starting and “unload logic” prior to conveyor stops.
Access to all tunable parametersis available through tuning and
engineering displays.
