Product catalog summary
Overview: This document discusses measurement technology in energy from waste (EFW) plants, focusing on pressure, temperature, and level monitoring. It highlights the challenges and solutions associated with high-temperature monitoring in combustion chambers and the importance of reliable measurement instruments in industrial steam or hot-water boiler systems.
High-Temperature Monitoring in Combustion Chambers: The combustion of domestic plastic in EFW plants produces corrosive gases like chlorides and hydrochloric acid, which degrade standard high-temperature materials such as stainless steel and Inconel. This degradation affects the longevity of thermocouples, making sensor replacement difficult and costly. Monitoring temperatures around 1,000 °C is crucial for assessing waste burning performance, maintaining NOx levels, and protecting combustion chamber walls. WIKA offers a specialized thermocouple material (TC81) that extends service life in these harsh environments.
Industrial Steam or Hot-Water Boiler Systems: These systems are vital in various industries, including food, healthcare, and automotive. Reliable components are essential for efficient energy provision. WIKA emphasizes the reliability and accuracy of its measuring instruments, which include pressure gauges, transmitters, switches, and glass level gauges. The document lists key measuring instruments and their roles in boiler systems, highlighting the importance of compliance with standards like DIN EN 12953-6.
Product Offerings: WIKA provides a comprehensive range of products for measuring pressure, temperature, and level, offering flexibility through innovative and customized developments. Key products include the high-temperature sensor TC81, pressure gauges, transmitters, switches, and various accessories for level indicators.

High-temperature monitoring in the combustion chamber The monitoring of the very high temperatures of around 1,000 °C in the ceiling and second pass of the combustion chamber is a critical measurement for any EFW stations. These measurements are taken in order to monitor the performance of the burning of the waste and also to maintain the NOx levels to ensure the that emission output complies with the local environmental standards. Another task of the measurement is to ensure the protection of the refractory wall inside the combustion chambers. Burning domestic plastic creates very corrosive...

Industrial steam or hot-water boiler systems Industrial steam or hot-water boiler systems are used in the food industry, in hospitals, in the automotive industry and many other areas. A whole series of components work hand in hand: for example boilers, economisers, oil pressure control, water treatment, return flow temperature safeguard and others. The goal is the efficient provision of energy in the form of hot water or steam. As a manufacturer of modules for industrial plants of this magnitude, you know how important it is to be able to rely on every single component, one hundred percent. As...
