COAL MILL

Safety methods. Several methods are available to detect the presence of oxidisation within the mill. Temperature monitoring can detect the heat buildup, but it has limited sensitivity and discrete sensors have dificulty monitoring the whole volume of the mill.

COAL HANDLING SAFETY

Even in routine mill shutdowns, there is a danger that any residual coal left within the mill will oxidise, and may explode as the mill is restarted. The Millwatch system is installed near the classifier and can detect the CO emitted from any hot inclusions within the residual coal. With many baseload plants now
