Metsätehon tuloskalvosarja 5/2015 16 February 2015 Melkas & Tornberg 5 www.metsateho.fi Measurements at the Bioterminal • In VTT’s bioterminal concept, terminal functionalities of the terminals are divided into four categories, each of which have several size classes (1-4): 1) 2) 3) 4) Transshipment terminal (Siirtokuormausterminaali) Feed–in terminal (Syöttöterminaali) Satellite terminal (Satelliittiterminaali) Fuel upgrading terminal (Jalostusterminaali) Bioterminal • When observing potential measurements in terminals in the future, terminal size and how raw materials are supplied to the terminal and shipped from the terminal will be increasingly important. For this reason, potential methods of measurement of different terminals is presented by size class using the following size distribution: – Small – 0.1 TWh – Medium size – 0.3 TWh – Large – 1.0 and 0.7 TWh Metsätehon tuloskalvosarja 5/2015 16 February 2015 Melkas & Tornberg 6 www.metsateho.fi Measurements at the Bioterminal • Small terminal- 0.1 TWh/a – Weighing during material handling by using timber scales, loader scales and material handlers (no weight bridge) – Estimation and prediction of moisture based on drying models. – Chipping before delivery – feedback from plant’s reception to the entrepreneur (measured MWh’s and weight from weight bridge) – For example small transshipment terminal • Medium size terminal- 0.3 TWh/a – Weighing during material handling by using timber scales, loader scales and material handlers (no weight bridge) - Weighing in the conveyor belt during chipping and measuring frame volume of forest chips in the conveyor belt (applied also for mobile chippers) or alternatively measuring of frame volume of the forest chips in the truck – Moisture content is measured by using soft sensor → moisture estimate - Stock accounting - For example medium size feed–in terminal Metsätehon tuloskalvosarja 5/2015 16 February 2015 Melkas & Tornberg 7 www.metsateho.fi Measurements at the Bioterminal • Large terminal- 1.0 TWh/a – Weighing of incoming and outcoming material with a weight bridge – Weighing and measuring frame volume of forest chips in the conveyor belt or measuring of frame volume of the forest chips in the truck – Moisture content is measured by using soft sensor → moisture estimate – Online measurement of the moisture content – Online measurement of the foreign matter – Stock management system – For example large fuel upgrading terminal • Large terminal- 0.7 TWh/a – As above, but does not include e.g. the online detection of foreign matter – No automatic material sorting based on quality – For example large satellite terminal Metsätehon tuloskalvosarja 5/2015 16 February 2015 Melkas & Tornberg 8 www.metsateho.fi Measurements at the Bioterminal Medium size terminal, 0,3 TWh/a For example medium size Feed – in terminal (Syöttöterminaali) Large terminal, 0,7 TWh/a For example large Satellite terminal (Satelliittiterminaali) Large terminal, 1,0 TWh/a For example large Fuel upgrading terminal or Satellite terminal (Jalostus- tai satelliittiterminaali) Weighing by weigh bridge Weighing by weigh bridge (Online measuring of frame volume of the (Online measuring of frame volume of the load, Moisture based on soft sensor load, Moisture based on soft sensor methods) methods) Reception - - Unloading Weighing by timber scale or log handler scale (Kuormain- tai kurottajavaaka) Weighing by timber scale or log handler scale (Kuormain- tai kurottajavaaka) - - Whole wood storage (small-sized stem wood, logging residues, stumps) Moisture based on drying models Moisture based on drying models Moisture based on drying models Moisture based on drying models Crushing/Chipping Mobile crusher/chipper Weighing (conveyor belt) + frame volume → moisture Mobile crusher/chipper Weighing (conveyor belt) + frame volume → moisture Mobile crusher/chipper Weighing (conveyor belt) + frame volume → moisture On-line measuring of foreign matter and moisture Crusher / Chipper Weighing (conveyor belt) + frame volume → moisture On-line measuring of foreign matter and moisture Other processing or upgrading - - Sorting based on moisture.
