Location: Kuilsrivier, Western Cape, SA

Year: August, 2020

Controller: Autoflame MK8 MM, Autoflame MK8 O2 interface module, MK8 I/O unit, Custom built control panel

Remote Monitoring: 24/7 Steam Boiler Management System Interface – Autoflame Mk8 DTI

SCOPE OF WORK

MPACT Corrugated required a Controls upgrade to their existing equipment which was due. We offered the new Autoflame MK8 MM Controller with Intelligent fully modulating water level controls as well as an O2 interface for automatic air/fuel ratio trimming of the Combustion.

Included in the package was a completely new floor standing double door control panel with PID SSR Heater pack control with the Autoflame I/O unit for external signals like steam flow and feedwater temperature amongst others.

The client opted for our Differential Pressure Transmitter to manage the water levels with auxiliary low water safeties from the existing Mobrey water level control system.

    RECOMMENDATION FROM CUSTOMER

    Combustion Technology is an excellent partner in

    reducing our annual fuel consumption on our HFO fueled Boiler.

    At Mpact Corrugated Kuils River we changed the control system of the Riello burner to automatically adjust the air to fuel ratio to maximise steam generation with lesser fuel.

    Additional to this an electronic water control system that is utilised to add water into the Boiler which is equal to the evaporation rate, meaning the water level remains consistent requiring less fuel to run production.

    Their service levels are top quality and I highly

    recommend them.
