MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

2.1 INTRODUCTION

 In modern industrial operations, precise measurement and management of materials

stored within bunkers and silos are paramount for ensuring optimal efficiency and
productivity. Whether it's coal in power plants or pulses in agricultural facilities,
accurate monitoring of inventory levels is crucial for effective resource utilization and
operational planning.
 This report delves into the various measurement techniques employed to gauge
material levels within bunkers and silos, with a particular focus on coal and pulses.
 From traditional methods to cutting-edge technologies, one explore the strengths,
limitations, and advancements in material measurement systems, aiming to provide
insights that can drive informed decision-making and streamline processes in
industrial settings.
 By understanding the intricacies of these measurement techniques, operators and
managers can better assess their options and implement solutions that align with their
specific operational requirements.
 From mechanical devices to sophisticated electronic systems, the evolution of
material measurement technology continues to revolutionize how the industry manage
inventory and optimize production processes.

2.2 TECHNIQUES AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET

2.2.1 Weight Measurement:

Using load cells or strain gauges beneath the bunker or silo, weight measurements can
determine the amount of coal by measuring the weight of the structure and subtracting
the weight when empty.

2.2.2 Point Level Measurement:

This method detects whether the coal has reached a certain predefined level within the
bunker or silo. It's commonly achieved using point-level sensors such as capacitance
probes or vibrating forks.

2.2.3 Guided Wave Radar:

This technology uses radar pulses guided along a probe to measure the level of
material inside the bunker or silo. It's effective even in dusty environments and with
uneven surfaces.

CVM University 6 GCET

12002060501008

Figure 2.4 Weight Measurement

2.2.4 Visual Inspection:
While not as precise, visual inspection through access points or with cameras can
provide a rough estimate of coal levels. However, this method may be impractical for
large or inaccessible bunkers.
2.2.5 Acoustic Measurement:
Acoustic or sonic sensors can measure the time taken for sound waves to travel
through the coal. Variations in travel time correspond to changes in coal level
2.2.6 Laser-Based:
These sensors emit laser pulses that penetrate the coal pile, and the reflected signals
are used to determine the level of the material.
The choice of method depends on factors such as accuracy requirements, budget,
environmental conditions, and the characteristics of the coal being stored. Often, a
combination of methods is used for redundancy and accuracy.

2.2.7 Weight Measurement:

 Principle:
This method directly measures the weight of the entire coal bunker or silo.

 Implementation:
Load cells or strain gauges are placed beneath the structure to measure the weight.

 Accuracy:
Generally high accuracy, especially when calibrated properly.

 Use Cases:

CVM University 7 GCET

 12002060501008

Ideal for continuous monitoring of coal inventory in large bunkers or silos where
precise measurements are crucial for inventory management and operational planning.

 Advantages:
Provides a direct and accurate measurement of the total coal mass. Suitable for real-
time monitoring and control.

2.2.8 Point Level Measurement:

 Principle:
This method detects whether the coal has reached a predefined level within the bunker
or silo.
 Implementation:
Point-level sensors such as capacitance probes or vibrating forks are installed at
specific points within the bunker or silo.
 Accuracy:
Provides discrete information about whether the coal has reached a certain level, but
may not offer continuous measurement of the entire coal volume.
 Use Cases:
Useful for detecting high and low-level thresholds, triggering alarms or control
actions when these thresholds are reached.

Figure 2.2 Point Level Measurement

 Advantages:

CVM University 8 GCET

 12002060501008

Simple to implement, reliable for detecting critical level thresholds, and can be used
as a safety measure.
2.2.9 Microwave-based Sensors:

 Principle:
These sensors emit microwave pulses that penetrate the coal pile, and the reflected
signals are used to determine the level of the material.
 Implementation:
Microwave transmitters and receivers are positioned either above the bunker or silo or
mounted on the vessel itself.
 Accuracy:
Provides continuous level measurements with good accuracy, suitable for various
types of materials including coal.
 Use Cases:
Suitable for applications where non-contact level measurement is required, such as in
dusty environments or where access to the material is limited.

Figure 2.3 Microwave Based Sensor Figure 2.4 Microwave Based Sensor In Silo

 Advantages:
Non-contact measurement, immune to dust and environmental conditions, and can
provide continuous monitoring of coal levels.

2.3 EXPLAINATION OF TRUE LEVEL:

CVM University 9 GCET

12002060501008

Figure 2.5 Laser, Yo-Yo, Ultrasonic Based Sensors

Determining the true level in a tank can be complex due to various factors such as the shape
of the tank, the presence of substances on the surface, and the type of measurement tool used.
The image you’ve provided shows different measurements from tools like Laser, Yo-Yo, and
Ultrasonic, each giving a different reading due to their unique measuring techniques and the
tank’s contents.
To understand the true level, one must consider the measurement principles of each tool:
 Laser: Measures the distance to the surface with a laser beam.
 Yo-Yo: Uses a mechanical tape or string to measure the depth.
 Ultrasonic: Uses sound waves to detect the distance to the surface.
Each method has its advantages and limitations, and the true level might be determined by
cross-referencing these readings or using a more reliable method which is Radar Based
Sensing which operates on the high frequency microwaves. It sends microwave signals to
measure the distance to the surface.

2.4 CONCLUSION

 In conclusion, the design and simulation of a smart antenna array for material
detection within an 80-100m bunker/silo using MATLAB presents an exciting
opportunity for innovation and advancement in industrial monitoring systems.

 By implementing beam steering and beam forming techniques through dynamic

weight adjustments, the smart antenna array offers a versatile solution for accurately
detecting and mapping materials within confined spaces.

CVM University 10 GCET

12002060501008

 Through rigorous simulation and optimization processes, we anticipate achieving

robust performance and enhanced accuracy, ultimately contributing to improved
efficiency, safety, and resource management in industrial operations.
 This endeavor underscores the potential of smart antenna technology to revolutionize
material monitoring practices, paving the way for more intelligent and adaptive
systems tailored to meet the evolving needs of modern industries.
