Detecting hotspots in cooled coke: Discover our solutions
Did you know that coke may still be hot, even after cooling?
Even if the cooling process appears to run smoothly at surface level, the coke batch can come out with unusually high temperature zones, which may indicate that the machinery has some underlying issues. Whether they are undetected or deliberately left untreated, these hotspots can turn into a major hazard. They can disrupt the normal workflow of the coke plant and, eventually, may aggravate problems, forcing total cease of operations for an extended period of time.
To increase operational safety at the #CokePlant, we offer two solutions: the MP300 Line Scanner and the ThermoView IR-Camera.
As the video shows, both devices can be positioned facing the unloading ramp in suitable protective enclosures to monitor the coke as it slides down. By choosing the MP300 Line Scanner, you will be able to monitor horizontally in a line, whereas with the ThermoView you can monitor a full area, displaying the glow nests on a thermal image.
Prevent failure, protect your plant and avoid expensive damages by scheduling downtime as soon as hotspots are found. Our experts are available to help you find the right device for you.
