Advanced Process Control for optimizing Flue Gas Desulfurization

Yokogawa is improving plant efficiency by reducing pump horsepower while maintaining needed SO2 removal. The optimization system typically consists of three functions: enhanced regulatory control, model-based prediction, and process value prediction. The system uses these three functions to continuously determine the minimum required number of recirculation pumps in operation, and to calculate the setpoint for the limestone slurry flow PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control loop……………... Enhanced regulatory control governs the number of recirculation pumps in operation and calculates the slurry flow setpoint. It also calculates the optimal pH setpoint, using feed-forward control for some abnormal cases. Enhanced regulatory control also keeps track of the run time of each recirculation pump, and uses this data to equalize the operating times of the pumps.……………... This optimization system automatically adjusts to different coal types because it uses the inlet SO2 value as an input to the system. This value varies significantly based on the coal type and is an important parameter for optimizing control. The system also automatically adjusts for spray nozzle plugging and pump performance deterioration. Varying plant load is not a problem as the optimization system works well in the range from low to full load.……………... A 700-MW coal-fired power plant in Japan implemented the optimization system described above. This plant runs about 300 days per year at baseload, and is not in operation for the other 65 days of the year. The energy savings realized by running only the required number of recirculation pumps was 12.4% of the unit’s total house load, equating to about $900,000 in energy savings per year based on market conditions in Japan. Another benefit was reduced pump run times, which resulted in lower pump maintenance costs and extended pump life. A third benefit was less limestone usage.………………

Yokogawa wirless system for monitoring rotating equipment

Yokogawa has created a sensor and wireless transmitter system designed specifically for continuous monitoring of the rotating equipment commonly used in process manufacturing facilities . The system is designed for easy installation on a wide variety of equipment. The piezoelectric acceleration sensor is compact and easy to install near the device’s bearings . A cable connects it to a wireless communication module, which can be mounted wherever it is convenient, and where it can be clear of obstructions able to interfere with its signal propagation. The complete system is self-powered using a battery in the communication module. With a one-minute data update rate, one set of batteries can run for up to 10 years. The data is sent via the wireless network to the system gateway. If other ISA100 Wireless field devices are already in use in the facility, the vibration monitors can become part of the same network, communicating with the gateway just like any other communication module or sensor. Data from the units installed throughout the plant can be directed to a control or monitoring system to inform operators and maintenance personnel as conditions change with the equipment being monitored.

Yokogawa instrumentation for efficient combustion control

Use of gas measurement with TDL improves combustion efficiency and lowers emissions. Tunable Diode laser spectroscopy ( TDLS) using infra red ( IR) technology can measure a number of gases including oxygen. This presentation from a 2015 industrial conference in Europe shows an example where the Yokogawa TDLS was used to reduce excess air from 3.5% to less than 1 %. Yokogawa and its competitor Zolo are supplying TLDS analyzers. In Pacific Corp session 1 the Yokogawa analyzer was mentioned. So this paper is being added to the intelligence system with the expectation that more specifically applicable information will be forthcoming.
