GALVANIZING KETTLES

The system incorporates continuous monitoring of the furnace chamber temperature and the zinc bath temperature, allowing deviations to be detected and heat demand to be adjusted in a timely manner.

The combustion strategy features a wide thermal power modulation range, which allows the system to respond quickly to sudden load changes or variations in process conditions, helping maintain temperature within the required parameters.

The control systems are based on the integration of PLC, HMI, and remote monitoring tools, providing the operator with clear information on the process status. 

The graphical interfaces facilitate the identification of

Anomalies

Trends

Conditions outside normal operation

Allowing timely corrective actions to be taken.

Temperature control can be performed independently by zones, adjusting the operation of each burner group according to the thermal requirements of each furnace section. 

This zoning helps

Improve temperature uniformity

Reduce unnecessary energy consumption

Prevent process impact caused by general system adjustments.

In addition, the furnaces can integrate a Burner Management System (BMS) responsible for:
‍

Supervising burner ignition, operation, and shutdown sequences

Conditions required to maintain safe operation of the combustion system.

NUTE  Bickley systems can also communicate with higher-level plant automation and supervision platforms through different industrial communication protocols, facilitating integration with the customer’s existing infrastructure.

Finally, the combustion strategy is designed to maintain a proper air/gas ratio throughout the operating range, promoting stable and efficient combustion and contributing to proper thermal control of the furnace.
