Boosts biomass boiler efficiency by 2–5%, reducing biofuel consumption
Outcomes / Benefits
Increased plant efficiency and reduced biomass consumption
Intelligent automatic control of the combustion process
Lower risk of tar, ash fouling, ash melting, erosion and corrosion
24/7 KPI tracking
Lower maintenance costs and longer equipment life
Dween is a chief engineer who doesn’t manage people. It orchestrates and optimizes your technological processes.
DWEEN Boiler connects the sub-systems of a biomass power plant into a holistic whole, ensuring efficient operation, monitoring and control. Real-time operation data is available for immediate analysis and data-driven decisions.
Higher operating efficiency, less ash, efficient use of additives and longer intervals between cleanings come from analysing the combustion process in real time and continuously adjusting the combustion parameters to the fuel actually being burned.
Illustrative view of the DWEEN Boiler panel. Figures are examples, not customer data.
In just 1 minute, Dween assesses and computes all of your equipment parameters 4 times.
No new field equipment, no changes to your machinery. Existing SCADA, PLC and metering data is utilized.
Read
Data of every boiler component is gathered every 15 seconds and stored in DWEEN Cloud.
Calculate
DWEEN Boiler evaluates the calorific value and moisture of the fuel actually on the grate.
Adjust
Air, flue gas recirculation, grate speed and fuel dosing are adjusted accordingly.
Check
Plant efficiency is assessed continuously; deviations from normal operation raise alerts by email and SMS.
Everything is under control
DWEEN Boiler is responsible for full scope monitoring and control.
| Equipment | Service | What DWEEN does |
|---|---|---|
| Air supply | Controlled | Primary and secondary air volume and dynamic zone distribution |
| Flue gas recirculation | Controlled | Volume and distribution above the fuel layer |
| Grate and fuel dosing | Controlled | Grate movement speed, fuel dosing by energy demand and fuel quality |
| Furnace pressure and boiler output | Controlled | Pressure held; output raised or lowered to the actual energy demand |
| Biomass accounting log | Monitored | Quantity received, laboratory data, consumption over the period |
| Plant efficiency | Monitored | Boiler efficiency, flue gas condenser efficiency, fuel index |

Estimate your potential gains
How DWEEN Boiler works?
It’s easy.
A conventional control system collects data and runs PLC logic, but a person still decides the set-points — day by day, with hours of delay. DWEEN delivers optimised set-points to the PLC instead, four times a minute.
We add an advanced layer of digital power to your existing hardware.
Real-time operation data is being collected.
DWEEN Boiler constantly adjusts combustion process parameters, according to the chosen priority.
