Computer Controlled Pyrolysis Unit

The Computer Controlled Pyrolysis Unit, to study the pyrolysis process by the chemical decomposition of organic matter and multiple materials, with different temperature ramp rates.

ATENG 11656 — Computer Controlled Pyrolysis Unit

(for main items)

• With this unit there are several options and possibilities:

• Main items: 1, 2, 3, and 4.

• Optional items: 5, 6 and 7.

• Let us describe first the main items (1 to 4):

• 1EPIRC. Unit:
  Painted steel frame.
  The unit includes wheels to facilitate its mobility.
  Diagram in the front panel with distribution of the elements similar to the real one.

• Refractory concrete pyrolysis furnace and ceramic fiber insulation:

• Pyrolysis chamber with heating element:

• Maximum temperature: 500 °C.

• Electrical power of the heating element: 5 kW.

• Smoke purification chamber:

• Maximum temperature: 850 °C.

• Gas burner:

• Heat output: 20,000 kcal/h.

• Flow rate (LPG): 1 Nm³/h.

• Nominal pressure: 5 mbar.

• Maximum pressure: 200 mbar.
  Water inlet safety solenoid valve for misting system.
  Gas inlet safety solenoid valve.
  Two “K-type” temperature sensors, one in each chamber.
  Control panel for manual or computer controlled operation.

• Smokestack (6 m minimum required). The unit includes:
  Cone and fitting clamp at the pyrolysis furnace outlet.
  Smokestack sections with test module (2 m).
  Smokestack cap.
  Wall clamp.

• Flue gas analyzer: measurements of O, CO and CO content, combustion
  2 2

• efficiency, excess air and CO/CO ratio. Unit: ATENG 11656

• The complete unit includes as well:
  Advanced Real-Time SCADA.
  Open Control + Multicontrol + Real-Time Control.
  Specialized Control Software based on LabVIEW.
  MODBUS Communication (1.25 Mbits/s).
  Projector and/or electronic whiteboard compatibility allows the unit to be explained and
  demonstrated to an entire class at one time.
  Capable of doing applied research, real industrial simulation, training courses, etc.
  Remote operation and control by the user and remote control for technical support,
  are always included.
  Totally safe, utilizing 4 safety systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic & Software).
  Designed and manufactured under several quality standards.
  Optional ICAI software to create, edit and carry out practical exercises, tests, exams,
  calculations, etc. Apart from monitoring user's knowledge and progress reached.
  This unit has been designed for future expansion and integration. A common expansion is
  the Scada-Net (ESN) System which enables multiple students to simultaneously
  operate many units in a network.

• 2 EPIRC/CCSOF. Computer Control + Data Acquisition + Data Management Software:
  The three softwares are part of the SCADA system.
  Compatible with actual Windows operating systems. Graphic and intuitive simulation of the process in
  screen. Compatible with the industry standards.
  Registration and visualization of all process variables in an automatic and simultaneous way.
  Flexible, open and multicontrol software, developed with actual windows graphic systems,
  acting simultaneously on all process parameters.
  Management, processing, comparison and storage of data.
  It allows the registration of the alarms state and the graphic representation in real time.
  Comparative analysis of the obtained data, after the process and modification of the conditions
  during the process.
  Open software, allowing the teacher to modify texts, instructions. Teacher’s and
  student’s passwords to facilitate the teacher’s control on the student, and allowing the access
  to different work levels.
  This unit allows the 30 students of the classroom to visualize simultaneously all the
  results and the manipulation of the unit, during the process, by using a projector or an EPIRC/CCSOF
  electronic whiteboard.
  3 Cables and Accessories, for normal operation.

• 4Manuals:

• This unit is supplied with 7 manuals: Required services, Assembly and Installation, Control Software,
  Starting-up, Safety, Maintenance & Practices manuals.

• References 1 to 4 are the main items: ATENG 11656 + EPIRC/CCSOF + Cables and Accessories + Manuals are included in the minimum supply
  for enabling normal and full operation.
