Fuel & Plant Management
Microbeam is fully equipped to help plants understand the quality of their incoming fuel and its impacts on plant performance. We help clients process performance issues and suggest operational changes that can be made to produce energy more efficiently. MTI accomplishes this through our combined use of laboratory and SEM analytical methods coupled with advanced data analysis. Past investigations have included such methods as statistical analysis, computer modeling, and neural network training.
Optimization Areas
Operation efficiency coupled with fuel management are cornerstones of a well-run power plant.
Microbeam uses its decades of fuel quality expertise and plant performance indicators to predict power plant problems and management recurrent issues.
Microbeam Technologies, Inc’s proprietary indices and machine learning algorithms determine fuel quality and relay critical information back to plant operators, engineers, and mine personnel.
