DWEEN Boiler

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.

01

Read

Data of every boiler component is gathered every 15 seconds and stored in DWEEN Cloud.

02

Calculate

DWEEN Boiler evaluates the calorific value and moisture of the fuel actually on the grate.

03

Adjust

Air, flue gas recirculation, grate speed and fuel dosing are adjusted accordingly.

04

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.

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.
