Pollution spike prediction
Energy recovery units
ISSUES ADDRESSED
- Monitor the process
- Reduce emissions from chimneys
- Anticipate spikes in pollution
SOLUTION
- Analyze historic data: identify factors for foreseeable short-term sulfur spikes
- Develop a predictive model to anticipate increases in SO2 concentration with a 2-minutes warning
- Develop a model for predictive control (MPC) for corrective PID planning when necessary
Benefit
Emissions compliance: compliance with standards on sulfur emissions in smoke
Cost control: optimized sulfur dosage to control peaks
