A certain steel plant utilizes industrial converter gas (primarily composed of carbon monoxide) as a raw material, converting carbon monoxide into metabolic products such as ethanol and acetic acid through microbial fermentation.Subsequently, a series of reactions generate by-product steam, offering advantages such as a short process flow and high energy-saving benefits, and becoming a crucial component in the enterprise's efforts to build a green and energy-efficient factory.

Currently, there is a need to collect data from this tail gas recovery system to the factory's central management platform.This requires monitoring data such as industrial converter gas emissions, carbon monoxide concentration, fermentation broth ethanol concentration, steam production, and power consumption.Additionally, it involves calculating indicators such as conversion rate, energy efficiency ratio, energy savings, and carbon reduction, enabling visualization, alerting, management, control, and statistical analysis functions to further guide production and energy-saving efforts.In response, WideIOT provides an efficient and reliable data acquisition solution.

Solution Overview:

At points such as the gas treatment section, fermentation section, distillation section, and auxiliary materials and CIP (Clean-in-Place) section, gas flow meters, carbon monoxide concentration sensors, ethanol concentration sensors, and smart electricity meters are deployed.WideIOT deploys industrial data acquisition gateways to connect to these devices, enabling real-time collection of various parameters and their transmission via Ethernet to the factory's central management platform.This achieves automated data acquisition, automatic alerting, and breakpoint resumption functions, providing comprehensive and reliable data support for production and energy-saving management.

System Benefits:

1. Real-time Data Acquisition and Transmission: Continuously collects data on emissions, carbon monoxide concentration, fermentation broth ethanol concentration, steam production, and power consumption at each monitoring point, enabling Ethernet transmission and supporting上行 protocols (upstream protocols) such as MQTT, Modbus, and OPC UA.

2. Automatic Alerting: Sets alert thresholds to automatically trigger alerts when data anomalies occur, supporting notification methods such as WeChat, SMS, and email.Alerts are aggregated on the platform for centralized management and report display, facilitating quick issue identification, diagnosis, and resolution.

3. Gateway Features: The gateway is equipped with multiple communication interfaces such as serial ports, network ports, and IO ports for one-to-many device data acquisition.It also features industrial-grade protection design, breakpoint resumption, multi-network mutual backup, network whitelisting, and security firewalls.

4. Data Standardization and Visualization: After standardized processing, data is integrated into the factory's central management platform, where it is received, parsed, and calculated to display indicators such as conversion rate, energy efficiency ratio, energy savings, and carbon reduction on a visual data dashboard.

5. Informed Decision-Making: Managers can utilize various statistical reports to summarize experiences and patterns, enabling the formulation of scientific and rational decisions to enhance energy utilization efficiency and energy-saving management levels.
