The concentration of ash residue left after combustion in a thermal power plant is an essential figure for managing combustion efficiency.
The customer of SDT, which operates Asia's largest biomass power plant, could not determine combustion efficiency in real-time as operators had to carry ash samples to the laboratory for component analysis over a period of 1 to 2 days.
To address this issue, the customer installed SDT LIBS to measure the elements of carbon, magnesium, silicon, calcium, iron, titanium, etc. in the ash, allowing them to detect problems occurring in the power generation process in real-time.
SDT LIBS can be installed from the laboratory to the production line and delta robots, supporting more convenient and faster elemental analysis.
