The Thermo Scientific™ CQM (Coal Quality Manager) FLEX Coal Analyzer helps reduce variability in coal quality, meet specification requirements, and improve boiler efficiency by continuously analyzing key coal streams.
Product Overview
The CQM FLEX Elemental Coal Analyzer is an online system designed for continuous elemental analysis of critical coal streams. It provides real-time, accurate data to support coal quality control and process efficiency in mining operations and power plants.
Using Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) technology, the CQM FLEX measures key coal properties including sulfur, moisture, total ash, calorific value, and ash elemental content. This data supports better resource use and helps reduce environmental impact for coal producers and consumers.
The analyzer delivers consistent, reliable data that supports coal quality management, contract compliance, improved plant performance, and operational cost savings.
The CQM FLEX is a second-generation system that installs easily, connects to a sampling system, manages sample flow, and outputs a wide range of coal quality parameters.
Key Features Include
- Fixed analysis geometry provides consistent results, minimizing the effects of loading changes, belt movement, or belt composition
- Online, real-time measurement enables more stable blending, process control, and fuel quality
- Minute-by-minute data supports accurate control at load-out, during delivery by truck or rail, and in power plants for both “as received” and “as fired” applications
- Easy-to-use operator interface allows access to relevant data and analysis tools
