Solutions for Straw-Fired Power Plants

Weighing and Moisture Content Measurement of Straw.

This solution is designed for straw-fired heating plants and addresses the task of recording net weight and moisture content, as well as calculating the energy content of the straw for settlement with suppliers.

Easy Registration

Upon arrival, the truck is weighed, and the total weight of the straw is recorded in the Energy Calculation system. The operator then measures the moisture content of the straw bales and calculates the average moisture level, which is entered into the ScanX.NET Energy module. The operator can also input the number of bales in the delivery and link this to the total weight registration.

This data forms the basis for calculating the price, which can be both index-regulated and/or seasonal. If one or more bales have excessively high moisture content, they can be rejected.

The solution consists of:

  • Scanvaegt weighbridge 6200 or 7800
  • ScanX.NET 2.4
  • ScanX.NET Energy module
  • VT200-Sp terminal
