- Automatic Brush and Basket
- An online mechanical cleaning system that uses flow reversal to propel captive brushes back and forth through heat exchanger tubes, capturing them in specialized end-baskets. It prevents severe mineral scaling and biofouling in condenser systems without interrupting plant operations.
- Automatic Drum Level Control
- An automated feedback control loop that regulates the flow of feedwater to maintain a constant water level in a steam boiler's drum. It is critical for preventing thermal shock and carryover from high water levels, as well as catastrophic tube failures from low water conditions.
- Automatic TDS Blowdown
- An automated control system that measures the electrical conductivity of boiler water and operates a modulating valve to discharge high-mineral water. This automated action keeps dissolved solids within safe limits, optimizing chemical use and reducing thermal energy waste compared to manual blowdown methods.
- Automatic Tag Discovery
- A feature in automation software that automatically identifies and imports configuration tags from field devices without manual entry. It significantly reduces commissioning time and minimizes human error during system integration.
- Automatic Tube Cleaning Systems
- Online mechanical cleaning systems that continuously circulate cleaning balls or brushes through heat exchanger tubes to prevent fouling buildup. By maintaining clean tube surfaces during operation, they maximize heat transfer efficiency and eliminate the need for frequent shutdown-based cleanings.
- Auxiliary Standby Boiler
- A secondary boiler kept in a ready state to generate steam or hot water if the primary thermal source goes offline. It is critical for ensuring continuous, uninterrupted thermal energy supply during maintenance or unplanned outages of primary CHP systems.
- Azeotropic Distillation
- A specialized distillation technique that breaks an azeotropic mixture—where components share a constant boiling point—by adding an entrainer to alter the relative volatility. It is essential for achieving high-purity chemical separations that are impossible with standard fractional distillation.
- Azeotropic Distillation Column
- A specialized distillation column designed to separate mixtures that form constant-boiling (azeotropic) points, often by introducing an entrainer chemical. This system is essential for achieving high-purity separations that are impossible with conventional fractional distillation.
