ReSensePro
The project:
In this project, complex sensor technology, such as in-line gas chromatography and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, is to be integrated into the system and the measurement data obtained implemented in the intelligent process control system through hardware and software development. This requires a comprehensive adaptation of the hardware interfaces and server software in order to use the data obtained as a control variable. By integrating the sensors, the aim is to reduce the amount of recycled material that is rejected due to limit values being exceeded and to increase the oil yield by better controlling the temperature using the measurement data provided. In addition, the heat introduced is to be optimally utilized in the pyrolysis process by controlling the feed. Overall, this will increase the efficiency of AES’s chemical recycling plants. This makes it possible to save 32.7 tons of CO2 emissions per year with a plant that processes 300 tons per year.
