A knowledge-based company has developed a flame monitoring system that helps monitor the flame in equipment such as power plant turbines, where the continuity of the flame is vital.
“Typically, a flame monitoring system consists of one or more sensors and a trigger. The function of the starter or amplifier is to receive a signal from the flame detector sensor and announce its status," Mehdi Arianfard, a member of the board of directors of Sang Chin Zahedan Company, was quoted as saying by the news portal of the Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology.
Gas turbine is one of the most important pieces of equipment in the oil, gas and energy industries. The important tasks of monitoring and evaluating its efficient performance are handled by the flame monitoring system.
The color of the flame varies from infrared to ultraviolet, depending on the type of fuel used. As the fuel used by turbines is natural gas, its flame has more ultraviolet components.
With the production of this strategic and practical system, there is no need for foreign counterparts.
“South Pars Gas Company has replaced a foreign system with a domestic one for monitoring gas turbines,” he added.
In addition to turbines, the flame monitoring system is also used in furnaces.
“Currently, we can meet the needs of the country without the need for imports. The domestic system has prevented a large amount of capital outflow,” Arianfard said.
“While matching the quality of foreign models, it has been marketed at a lower price. It cost more than $2 million a year to import foreign counterparts.”
Remote-Control Terminal Competitive
A domestic knowledge-based company has developed an efficient remote-control terminal that has a price advantage over foreign counterparts.
The remote monitoring and control terminal has a flexible structure that makes it ideal for various industrial centers.
“The company has produced the industrial control equipment using domestic electronic technologies,” Mosayeb Ashrafi, the CEO of Control Pajouhan Part Mehvar Company, was quoted as saying.
In addition to having eight digital input channels, six analog inputs and five digital outputs, the terminal can have more inputs. It uses a 3-phase system to deliver electricity with greater efficiency.
Programmed under standard languages by the company’s specialists, the terminal's dedicated software is a unique feature. Its numerous boards and structures make it possible to fully adapt the terminal to a variety of applications in small and large power stations at an optimal cost. Its software supports multitasking and protocols for upstream communication by default.
The CEO of the knowledge-based company noted that for different types of analog and digital input and output signals, a suitable board can be selected, depending on a project’s requirements.
“In addition to the main processor’s capabilities, a protocol converter board is also envisaged, which helps centralize information and converts protocols for the terminal,” he said.
“The domestic terminal can easily be used as a multi-post information centralizing station in post-automation systems.”
Ashrafi pointed out that the domestic remote-control terminal is priced at one-fifth of foreign counterparts.
The production line can employ 45 technicians, but due to a lack of support for knowledge-based companies, it is currently managed by five specialists.
Domestic Beam Truss Machine Inexpensive
Another knowledge-based company has produced an industrial beam truss machine using the latest technology, which is cheaper than foreign counterparts.
“With the expansion of the housing construction industry, the need to build advanced machinery and equipment was felt in this area. Industrial beam truss machine is used to accelerate the construction process,” said Mohammad Dadi Al-Qar, CEO of Toos Rahbar Anbouh Sazeh.
“The industrial beam truss machine is an automatic welding robot,” he explained.
Truss is a triangular structure that withstands heavy loads in large structures such as roofs, stairs and aerospace structures. Beam truss is the simplest member of this group.
Industrial beams are made of metal trusses. In this type of beam truss, shear rebars are connected to the lower and upper armatures by resistance welding instead of connection by electric welding or the same welding point.
In block joist roofs, a metal structure is made of rebar that requires welding. In fact, new methods of resistance welding do this so that the cross-section of the rebar is not damaged.
The domestic product is similar to its foreign counterparts in terms of quality and efficiency, but has a lower price.
Currently, about 50 employees are directly involved in the machine’s production line.
