 Lowering NOx emissions

Balanced pulverised coal massflow to the

burners is crucial for low thermal NOx emissions.

Increasing boiler efficiency

MECONTROL UBC
MECONTROL UBC continuously measures the content
of unburnt carbon in fly ash as the main combustion
quality control parameter. The patented system works
in-situ, without complicated sampling and for most
robust and lowest maintenance requirements.
McON Temp
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.
Achieve drift free flow control to each burner or windbox,
„ We use PROMECON´s coal flow measurement
system and density dampers to improve
even at lowest flows. Reduce access air without suffering
higher CO or unburned carbon.
