5E-S0LAS ONLINE ANALYZER FOR BULK GOODS

ANALYZING BULK MATERIALS WITH CKIC CKIC develops and manufactures sampling, sample-processing and analyzing equipment for industrial use. Apart from planning, producing, installing and commissioning these fully automatic samplers & analyzers, CKIC also offers individual solutions for analytical problems. Furthermore, CKIC acts as a service provider and manufacturer in the fields of automation engineering, control cabinet construction and special machinery. CKIC is located in No.172 Kaiyuan Road, Changsha Economic & Technological Development Zone, Changsha (China). CKIC's products are based...

5E-S0LAS is a fully automatic sampling and analyzing system for the rapid determination of substances in bulk goods. Typical installation sites for the equipment are loading, conveying and processing facilities in open-cast and underground mines, in power plants, cement works etc. 5E-SOLA5 cannot only work as a standalone system, it may also be complemented by sampling and processing systems installed upstream of it that are also supplied by CKIC and that are fully geared to the requirements of the relevant application concerned. Fast Sampling and analysis 3

■ to determine the sulfur & ash contents as well as the composition of the ash ■ to detect sand infiltrating the raw lignite ■ to blend the raw lignite with overburden as a means of adjusting the ash content ■ to control the quality predicted by geological models ■ to detect quality changes which have to be taken care of quickly

Upstream of the blending yard ■ to record the quality of the coal stocked in a bunker/stockyard in a file with quality data on the basis of a stockyard model; the required quality can be selected and set with the recording device and the help of the quality file Downstream of the blending yard ■ to control the quality of the blended product leaving the stockyard In thermal power plants ■ to avoid slag formation; 5E-SOLAS is able to calculate typical parameters, such as the acid/base ratio, the Si02 ratio or the slagging factor ■ to optimize the control of cleaning mechanisms (such as water...

In thermal power plants 5E-SOLAS is based on the combination of ■ a smart pneumatically operated sample conveying system, in which the sample material is transported directly by the air stream ■ the analytical method of the energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence analysis (EDXRF) which has been designed for the use under rough conditions. The smart sample transport system 5E-SOLAS will make it possible to take samples from different sampling points and convey them to the analytical unit of 5E-SOLA5. There are applications, to name just one example, where 5E-SO-LAS takes samples from various...

An analysis cycle of 5E-S0LAS A sample will be suctioned into a stainless steel tube by an air stream of 5E-S0LAS and, first of all, fed into a turbo mill, where the sample material will be ground to dust within seconds (grain size: 200 microns or less). After the milling process the sample material will be divided, in order to reduce the sample mass to be actually analyzed. Following that, the sample will be separated from the air stream in a sampling cyclone and collected in a pre-sampling chamber, where a level sensor monitors the sampling process and stops it as soon as...

5E-50LA5 offers several variants for sampling, the easiest and most frequently used being the one included. In the 5E-SOLAS basic version for pneumatic sampling. In this case, the material to be analyzed will be suctioned off a downdraft under a baffle plate at a belt transfer point, a crusher etc. Another option is the use of a conventional sampler (hammer-type sampler, bucket-type sampler etc.) with processing systems (hammer mills) being installed downstream, depending on the initial grain size. Another piece of well-proven equipment for sampling is the use of a stake box (rod box),...

5E-SOLAS will analyze the sample thus taken with the help of an x-ray fluorescence analyzer. The sample to be analyzed will be excited by the x-rays generated in a (miniature) x-ray tube, its fluorescence spectrum being absorbed by an energy dispersive detector. From this spectrum the elements contained in the sample (theoretically all elements, including sodium and uranium) can be determined simultaneously. After the measurement has been completed, which may take between about 30s and 120s, depending on the application, the measured sample will be discharged from the measuring cell and the...

X-Ray Protection Since only a miniature x-ray tube with a low rating is installed in the EDXRF analyzer that has been equipped by CKIC with the most advanced components and included in the 5E-SOLAS system, and since the energy emitted by the photons is low, far less efforts are required to obtain the necessary permits, while the potential risks are considerably lower than for solutions with radioactive sources. Here are some advantages as compared with radioactive sources: ■ the generation of radiation can be deactivated no toxic materials are used ■ the intensity of the radiation generated...

The same kind of visualization will be provided in the client's computer that is equipped with identical operating elements and that may be remotely located several kilometers away from the system. The presence on site is virtually not required. Computer logs and reports will be configured according to the customer's specification (such as shift protocols with mean values of the shift concerned as well as mean values from different charges) and automatically printed or transmitted. Apart from storing all process data in the visualization system WinCC, all analysis data and the raw spectrums...

The pneumatically operated sample transport system will make it possible to install 5E-S0LAS in a flexible and simple way. Normally, 5E-S0LAS will be installed in a pre-fabricated container that houses all the necessary auxiliary equipment (compressed air, filters, heating & air-conditioning, vibration protection etc.) and that is located close to the conveyor belt, the transfer points and/or crushers or chutes. It is, of course, also possible to install 5E-SOLAS and the associated units in any other suitable rooms that may be available on site. The only medium required is a power supply...
