Monitoring and Diagnostics

Data Collection
The Roll-Bowl COP system contains the software and hardware necessary to collect and analyze coal pulverizer operating data, using both time-domain and frequency domain techniques, to reveal the dynamic conditions present within the mill without removing it from service.

Proprietary Analysis Techniques
Roll-Bowl COP is a patented technique that is used to monitor and improve the performance of coal pulverizers. RBC provides non-intrusive, dynamic analysis of the grinding elements, bearings and gearbox.

Proper Mill Adjustment
The results of this analysis are used to optimize the settings and adjustments of the mill and assure the accurate assembly of the grinding elements.

Compatible with PI
Data is written to the Aveva® PI System®. Fifty variables stored for each mill.

Optimize Mill Performance

Data Acquisition
System utilizes dedicated instruments and high speed data acquisition to collect and analyze mill operating variables.

APR-Based Diagnostics and Detection
Predictive Analytics techniques are used with existing process instrumentation to characterize normal operation and detect anomalies. The system can detect:

• Collapsed or broken spring
• Improperly adjusted rolls
• Spalled material from roll or table
• Excessive wear
• Vertical shaft and roll bearings and drive train issues
• Unbalanced table loading

Data Visualization
Provides visualization of potential issues with grinding issues not observable from outside the mill or by any other process data.

Maximize Mill Life
Reduces fatigue loading on vertical shaft, monitors spring anomalies, wear, and component geometry.

Optimize Pulverizer-Related Boiler Impacts
Optimized mill operation will have a cascaded effect on the boiler, improving combustion, LOI, NOx, slagging, and partial derates.
