DEFuel storage
Silos for supplementary fuels
Whether in the coal power station or in the waste incineration plant: meat and bone meal and dried sewage sludge now form an integral part of electricity generation and district heating systems. About 5 % meat-and-bone meal and approx. 2 % dried sludge are added to the coal dust. These supplementary fuels are stored in silos. A continuous measurement of the silo contents ensures uninterrupted feeding of the combustion chambers. Minimum and maximum sensors detect overfilling, blockages or empty operation.
VEGAFLEX 62 for level measurement
The robust construction of VEGAFLEX 62, which permits tensile forces of up to three tons, allows its use in up to 60 m high containers and silos for supplementary fuels. Being completely insensitive to buildup and strong dust generation, VEGAFLEX 62 is the ideal sensor for continuous level measurement. Already calibrated to the sensor length at the factory, the instrument requires no adjustment on site.
VEGAVIB 62 for level detection
The VEGAVIB 62 is used for level limitation in the meat-andbone meal silo. This overfill protection system with suspension cable extension renders reliable service here.
VEGAVIB 61 as minimum sensor
The VEGAVIB 61 is installed laterally and used as low-level indicator in the meat-and-bone meal silo. It also takes on an important role in blockage detection at the transfer stations of the conveyance systems.
