Q = flow (kg/min)
W = weight of coal along L (kg)
R = conveyor speed (m/min)
L = length of conveyor

Implementation # 2 : Flue Gas
Desulfurization (FGD)
The load cell is used to calculate the weight of
limestone mixed in the FGD process. This is performed
to reduce the emission of acid gas (SO2) produced by
the use of coal fuel in PLTU
𝑅 = 𝑚𝐵 + 𝐵𝑜
120 = 𝑚 × 0 + 𝐵𝑜 ➔ 𝐵𝑜 = 120
130 = 𝑚 × 100 + 120 ➔ m = 0.1
The general equation for the relationship between resistance and load is
𝑅 = 0.1𝐵 + 120
When the increasing resistance = 0.0048 ohm, then
120 + 0.0048 = 0.1𝐵 + 120
(note: the resistance = 120 ohms when load time = 0 lb, so it is necessary to add this value)
