Optimise the efficiency of your plant through targeted, needs-based cleaning using an IR-based monitoring system

Intelligent Combustion Chamber Cleaning: IR-Based Monitoring System

Optimize your plant's efficiency through targeted, demand-oriented cleaning. Our turnkey infrared system enables the precise localization of fouling on combustion chamber walls and pendant heating surfaces – even under the most difficult viewing conditions.

Technology & Operating Principle

The heart of the system is the high-resolution PYROINC 640F infrared camera, which operates with a specialized 3.9 µm flame filter.

  • Clarity in Turbid Conditions: IR technology offers significantly higher transparency of the combustion chamber atmosphere than visible light (VIS).
  • Precise Detection: Fouling and slagging are identified exactly by location and intensity based on elevated surface temperatures.
  • Maximum Coverage: The entire combustion chamber is scanned using an angled-view lens (60° angle) and an automatic rotation device.
  • Geometric Mapping: The captured thermal images are rectified and projected directly onto the boiler development (unfolded view) to derive exact blowing patterns for the cleaning units.
Turnkey Complete Solution

We do not just deliver a single device, but a complete, turnkey system that is seamlessly integrated into your process landscape:

  • Automation: Includes a robust traversing and rotating device as well as an automatic emergency retraction device to protect the optics.
  • Infrastructure: Complete control cabinet for monitoring all media (cooling, purging air) and operating states.
  • Intelligent Evaluation: High-performance evaluation unit with specialized image processing software and an interface to the water lance blower control system.
Our Full-Service Promise

We are your partner from planning to long-term operation. Our offer includes:

  • Professional Installation: Mechanical and electrical integration on-site.
  • Commissioning: System configuration and fine-tuning of the image evaluation to your specific combustion chamber geometry.
  • Training: Comprehensive instruction for your personnel in the operation and maintenance of the system for maximum plant availability.

FTD-2D

Gas temperature measurement

Online measurement of gas temperature distribution in combustion chamber level to optimise SNCR injection.

FTD-2D System: Tomographic Temperature Measurement for Maximum Efficiency

The FTD-2D System is our specialized solution for online operational measurement of temperature distribution within combustion chamber levels. Through tomographic data acquisition, you gain valuable real-time insights to optimize firing operations, actively reduce emissions, and extend the service life of your plant.

Your Challenges – Our Mission

In modern combustion plants, precise control of temperature distribution is the key to economic efficiency:

  • Regulatory Compliance: Continuous monitoring of minimum temperatures for legally secure compliance with statutory requirements (such as BImSchV or equivalent environmental standards).
  • Slagging Prevention: Monitoring of average and maximum temperatures at the combustion chamber outlet to protect downstream heating surfaces from deposits and fouling.
  • Thermal Symmetry: Identification and correction of extreme flame imbalances to prevent uneven thermal stress on boiler walls.
  • Intelligent SNCR Control: Optimization of nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction through precise temperature data in the injection zone.
The Measurement Principle: Real-Time Tomography

The FTD-2D utilizes state-of-the-art radiometric methods to create a two-dimensional temperature profile of the combustion chamber plane:

  1. Radiance Measurement: Detection of soot radiation from luminous flames (NIR) or the CO2 absorption band.
  2. Tomographic Reconstruction: 6 to 12 pyrometers distributed around the circumference capture radiation in a grid-like pattern.
  3. Processing: An industrial PC handles complex tomographic calculations, archiving, and real-time connectivity to your Distributed Control System (DCS).
Technical Implementation & Advantages

Our system is strictly designed for demanding industrial use (24/7) and is characterized by its seamless integration:

  • Robust Hardware: Components built for reliable continuous operation in harsh environments.
  • Minimally Invasive: Required measurement openings of only ∅≈15…40 mm.
  • Efficient Operation: Extremely low air consumption (approx. 2 m³/h per sensor).
  • Zero Latency: Measurement is instantaneous, allowing your control system to react to process changes without delay.
  • Total Control: Intuitive display, alarm output when limit values are exceeded, and comprehensive data archiving.
Why FTD-2D?

"Through tomographic temperature distribution, we make the invisible visible. You no longer operate your boiler based on intuition, but on exact, spatially resolved measurement data."
