The ThermaScope® is the latest innovation to emerge from renowned infrared specialist team Thermoteknix Systems Ltd and is destined to revolutionise thermal imaging within the pulp and paper industry, from lime kiln burning zone temperature measurements and rotary ‘in kiln’ imaging, to overall process condition monitoring. ThermaScope® is installed through the end wall of the kiln hood and provides the plant operator with live, calibrated temperature pictures of the process, burning zone, lime nodule formation and burner temperatures. Continuous monitoring of the front end of a lime kiln and burning zone temperature measurement are essential in optimising lime quality. ThermaScope® is an advanced technological innovation purpose designed for optimising the process of lime mud calcining in pulp mills. ThermaScope® incorporates patented new technology for controlling the camera detector that enables the instrument’s full dynamic temperature range to be displayed instantaneously on screen in the live image. This allows the process as well as the burning zone temperatures inside the kiln to be displayed, measured and tracked together. Now with ThermaScope® the operator can simultaneously display and measure the full range of burning zone and lime nodule temperatures, essential for both operators and accurate process control. The Thermoteknix proprietary real time PCI digital signal processing electronics with measurement and storage software, provides specialised image processing to reduce effects of dust or contaminants and provide an unlimited number of temperature measurements as well as tracking process changes and trending with a variety of programmable alarms and outputs accessible throughout the entire plant. It’s this combination of solid state, high-resolution focal plane array infrared technology and high performance, user-friendly digital image processing software that establishes ThermaScope® as a breakthrough in the market place. The ThermaScope® solid state long-term reliability, all digital fully quantified radiometric operation with optional pneumatic control for failsafe insertion/retraction, ensures complete imaging; measurement and control inside the lime kiln can now be achieved digitally, simply and affordably. Applications within the pulp and paper industry include lime kiln temperature monitoring, kiln refractory diagnostics, recovery boiler furnace performance, flame temperature measurements, and more. Advanced ThermaScope® software tools include: Unlimited spot temperature measurements at any position viewed in the kiln. Image magnification and temperature range zoom to identify small visual or thermal details in the image. User defined lines and temperature profiles with max, min and average temperatures displayed. Box, elipse or freehand object displays max, min and average temperature within the areas. Fully digitised image storage with time and date tags. On-screen labelling overlaid onto live imaging showing process features. Image subtractions to show immediate or sequential changes in process and burner temperatures over a period. Analogue and relay outputs to process control. Image viewing, archiving and reporting software. ThermaScope® provides a number of immediate and direct benefits to the operators concerned with kiln monitoring and process production. Not only can the visual image of the burner flame be used to identify and correct numerous potential problems, the flame and plume lengths as well as flame direction and temperature are all able to be viewed and subsequently controlled as a result of the imaging capability of this advanced system. Regulating flame and product temperatures to targeted levels are thus achievable through thermal and visual surveillance using ThermaScope®. As in the lime kiln, accurate surveillance of the recovery boiler where lower furnace operation determines effectiveness of the boiler performance and control of the bed, can also offer many operator benefits. The internal condition of the boiler, improved bed monitoring and bed control, as well as general thermal profile analysis of smelt flow is possible with ThermaScope® to detect the occurences of ‘pluggage’, ‘blackouts’, smelt carryover and water leaks. Early problem detection will aid in preventing delays during start-up, poor operation of the furnace, unstable furnace operation and a major explosion. Complete imaging, measurement and control that’s more than just a few spots on your screen ensures nothing else comes close to real time temperature measurement where it matters most. With unparalleled features available only from ThermaScope®, this latest process control system really does offer an excellent contribution to modern day pulp and paper production control, optimisation and fuel cost efficiency. Thermoteknix Systems Ltd have an 18 year history of innovation in thermal imaging and measurement systems with more than 2,500 systems sold world-wide, recently recognised by the industry with its conferment of The Queen’s Award for Export Achievement. ---------- Ends ---------- Further information: Shannon O’Brien Thermoteknix Systems Ltd, Mount Pleasant House, Mount Pleasant, Cambridge, CB3 0RN, England.
