Case study

Flow metering of quicklime in free fall
Energy & Environment | SolidFlow 2.0
Customer: Waste incineration plant (to generate electricity)
Product: Hearth furnace coke
Conveyed volumes: 10…15 kg/h
Conveyor mechanism: Rotary conveyor
Installation location: in the free-fall line after the rotary conveyor
What measuring process was used previously: none
According to the client, the system offers the following advantages:

  • Continuous flow metering
  • Little maintenance required (no mechanical parts)
  • Simple retrofitting without major conversion
Client benefits:

  • Exact input of adsorbent material
  • Guarantees the desired material volume in both measuring lines (both lines are operated from a silo)
  • Quality control of the bonding of pollutants of the incineration process
