Sensor data - actions with dataIncreasing digitalization has also led to extensive data volumes in industrial plants, particularly through the recording of sensor data. This data is valuable - but how can it be used? What makes this sensor data so valuable? Historical sensor data allows us to extend our view from the present into the past
Hazard analysis using the HAZOP study - Plant safety in the (wood) industry Plant safety is of paramount importance in every industry, and the timber industry is no exception. In a holistic risk analysis, it is crucial not only to consider the obvious dangers posed by machinery and equipment, but also to comprehensively record
Technology transfer to Australia There have often been successful exports from Austria to overseas, and one or two of the better-known stories have their origins in Styria. This is also the origin of one of our current orders in this federal state - as a result of one of our successful technology projects. Interested readers will remember the project carried out by VOIGT+WIPP Engineers to modernize the magnesite calcination process at STYROMAG in Tragöß-St. Katharein.
By integrating individual process plants into the higher-level control concept of our EPOC® Suite (Energy & Production Optimization Control), previously unattainable added value can be realized in terms of plant performance and product quality. Flexibility - even in the event of changes at the site - characterizes the new system with which we implement
Just like in "real" life, it is also in business - a good relationship with the customer is the most important thing. If you are "in relationship" with the person on the phone, it is much easier to work more openly and sometimes more critically. It helps to look after your counterpart with a
The low-point control is an intelligent solution package for biomass CHP plants to operate district heating pumps in the optimum efficiency range while minimizing grid losses and electricity costs. Every heat customer in a district heating network requires a pressure difference between the flow and the return at its transfer point to the district heating
Conversion projects during ongoing operations always present a major organizational challenge in addition to the technical ones. Under the sign of the pandemic, the challenge was once again much higher this year. We are therefore particularly pleased that we were able to successfully complete the upgrade of the fluidized bed plant at Norske Skog in Bruck on schedule.
The Biomass Control Solution (BCS® Suite) by VOIGT+WIPP Engineers is the innovative, precisely fitting control product for modern biomass heating (power) plants. More than 10 years ago, the first BCS-FLR was used in a wood-fired power plant. The development was derived from our innovative control concepts for large-scale power plants. Through this technological application we
STYROMAG GmbH has been operating the first and still the only fluidized bed furnace in the world for the production of caustic burned magnesite since 1985. In 2018/2019 the idea arose to modernize this manufacturing process and to set a new, outstanding benchmark in terms of energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
