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
