Simeken Pro Safety and Reliability
Proven Solution
Our first pyrolysis research and development demonstration unit tested multiple contaminants. This 75 tonne per day (tpd) unit was extensively tested for eleven months by Simeken at a demonstration site in Matamoros, Mexico. A second unit is now operating in Bakersfield, California.
The true advantage of this technology is the design of the PRO System. Most pyrolysis systems in the past were plagued with reliability issues. The PRO System uses a "free fall" action for movement that is assisted by sinusoidal action. The bottom line is that there are no moving parts inside of the oven, dramatically improving the reliability of this system.
We design plants with a 24/7 operation in mind. Our simple design with no moving parts in our retort and oxidizer eliminate key service issues. Our plants are monitored via the internet with self-correction feedback, safety and shut down features. We incorporate redundant controls to maximize safety and prevent problems.
state-of-the-art control systems,
plus internet-capable monitoring
Simeken has developed its own proprietary systems for the management and operation of the system. This software and hardware configuration can be monitored and adapted remotely providing accurate reporting and status of each installation. This system management system:
- Controls all mechanical operations of the machine
- Controls system overrides that keep the machine in operating tolerances
- Enacts safety backup systems to provide a safe working environment
- Provides statistics, performance, and emissions data "real time" to effective monitoring
Although Simeken Inc. offers an industry standard Representations and Warrants, we have designed our system for a extended life span that meets and surpasses industrial averages by incorporating the best materials of construction. While there has not yet been a unit in service long enough to prove the design standard, we are confident of the system's life.
