Industries

Solutions Across Industrial Domains

Reheat Furnace

Efficient steel reheat furnace operation hinges on precise air-to-fuel ratio control in each heating zone. Deviations can lead to excess combustion air, causing lower fuel efficiency and scale formation, or insufficient combustion air, raising safety risks. ZoloSCAN’s real-time, laser-based system measures O₂, CO, H₂O, and temperature across the entire furnace—not just at specific spots—providing comprehensive combustion data. This enables closed-loop zone control, improving fuel efficiency, reducing scale formation, and enhancing operational safety. The data integrates seamlessly with existing PLC or DCS systems for optimal performance.

Electric Arc Furnace

Precise control of carbon concentration and temperature in Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking is critical for achieving high-quality results. Variations in scrap steel composition can lead to inefficient energy use and increased emissions. Traditional off-gas monitors often lag behind, requiring frequent maintenance and offering slow response times. ZoloSCAN, utilizing non-intrusive TDLAS technology, provides real-time measurements of temperature, H₂O, CO, and CO₂ in the fourth hole duct, delivering updates every two seconds. This allows for optimized energy recovery, enhanced safety, and improved overall furnace performance.

REFORMING

Reformers pose a unique challenge due to their numerous burners, where even slight imbalances can lead to reduced efficiency, tube failures, and degraded catalyst performance. Changing fuel compositions can further complicate operations. ZoloSCAN solves these issues by delivering real-time, in-furnace measurements of temperature, O₂, H₂O, and CO, enabling operators to maintain precise firing profiles, achieve balanced fuel/air ratios, and improve operational safety. This advanced control boosts efficiency while preventing damage and ensuring consistent furnace performance.

Power Generation

In the face of rising competition from renewables and stricter emissions regulations for NOx, CO, and CO₂, coal power plants are under pressure to improve efficiency and lower emissions. Optimizing combustion is the most cost-effective solution. ZoloSCAN’s laser-based monitoring system provides real-time, in-furnace measurements of temperature, H₂O, CO, and O₂ with spatial resolution, allowing operators to quickly identify and address localized combustion imbalances. This leads to improved heat rate, reduced emissions, and overall greater plant efficiency.

Basic Oxygen Furnace

Accurate end-point detection in BOF steelmaking is vital for maximizing efficiency. Ending the oxygen blow too late leads to iron oxidation, lowering yield and wasting resources, while ending it too early can cause steel carbon specifications to be missed, requiring costly reprocessing. By continuously measuring off-gas concentrations (CO, CO₂) and temperature, ZoloSCAN provides near real-time, two-second updates. This allows for live, closed-loop control, optimizing the oxygen blow and reducing waste, ensuring precise carbon levels, and improving overall production efficiency.

Steam Generation

Small boilers often face challenges when using variable or non-standard fuel sources, such as biomass or blast furnace gas, making it difficult to maintain optimal combustion. ZoloSCAN provides a solution with in-furnace, laser-based measurements of key parameters like temperature, H₂O, CO, and O₂. These real-time insights enable operators to maintain balanced, efficient combustion, even with fluctuating fuel types, ensuring more stable operations and improved energy efficiency.

ETHYLENE

Maintaining precise temperature control during the ethylene cracking process is essential to prevent "hot spots" that cause coking and unplanned downtime. Without in-furnace measurements, achieving optimal temperature balance can be challenging, leading to potential tube blockages. ZoloSCAN addresses this issue by delivering real-time, in-furnace data on temperature, O₂, H₂O, and CO levels. This enables accurate combustion profiling, allowing operators to extend cracker run lengths, reduce maintenance interruptions, and improve overall process efficiency.

INSTALATION BASE

ZOLO CS is trusted globally, with installations across major industrial sites around the world, providing real-time combustion optimization for improved efficiency and safety.
