Regularly examining important coal streams with the Thermo Scientific™ CQM (Coal Quality Manager) FLEX Coal Analyzer helps reduce coal quality variability, meet specification requirements, and increase boiler efficiency.
Product Overview
The CQM FLEX Elemental Coal Analyzer is an online system that enables continuous elemental analysis of key coal streams. It delivers real-time, precise data to support coal quality management and improve process efficiency in mining and power plants.
The CQM FLEX Coal Analyzer uses Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) to measure essential coal properties, including sulfur, moisture, total ash, calorific value, and ash elemental content. This data promotes improved resource utilization and reduces environmental impact for coal producers and consumers.
The analyzer provides consistent, reliable data to support coal quality control, contract compliance, plant performance, and operational cost reductions.
The CQM FLEX is a second-generation device that installs quickly, connects to a sampling system, regulates sample flow, and produces a variety of coal quality parameters.
Key Features Include
- Fixed analysis geometry produces consistent findings by reducing the impacts of changes in loading, belt movement, or belt composition
- Online, real-time measurement allows for more consistent blending, process management, and fuel quality
- Minute-by-minute data enables precise control during load-out, delivery by truck or rail, and in power plants for both “as received” and “as fired” applications
- Easy-to-use operator interface provides access to important data and analysis tools
