Every percentage point of moisture matters. When your fuel quality isn't measured correctly, you might be paying for water instead of energy. Automated sampling and real-time moisture analysis can revolutionize how biomass is managed, saving companies thousands—even millions—each year.

22.1.2025

It’s widely understood that moisture content of woody biomass critically influences energy output. The higher the moisture content, the less energy it generates during combustion.

In MENER project, journey of burnable wood from forest to power plant's boiler is optimized using AI. The most important quality characteristic of wood-based fuel used in power plants is moisture. If a power plant can estimate the moisture content of the fuel before combustion, the combustion process can be adjusted to operate efficiently

A step towards a carbon neutral tomorrow - Savon Voima invests in biofuel quality testing equipment at Iisalmi power plant
Savon Voima invests in automatic sampling equipment at Iisalmi power plant. A sampling robot will automatically take samples directly from trucks carrying biomass before unloading. Sampling plays an important role in determining the quality of the biomass to be burned.

27.5.2022

We will be at PulPaper fair in Helsinki Exhibition Centre 7.-9.6.2022 in booth 6h2.

FACT 1: 

The biomass material can be anything from straw stalks to felling waste, from branch pieces to plant leaves.

Solution: Prometec's Q-Robot takes an automated sample of the material at the moment of arrival at the power plant and sends the data to both the power plant and the material driver. Q-Robot is able to take samples of all kinds of crushed and granular materials.

4.3.2021

Finland's new  bioeconomy strategy, which will be completed in summer 2021, will take a stronger position on circular economy solutions and the utilization of renewable natural resources. The strategy has been made public, with the aim of securing the sustainable use of renewable resources as part of the EU's climate goals.

There have long been two major problems with quality control of biofuels. The first challenge is to automatically take representative samples of each load and the second is to obtain real-time information on the moisture content of the material before unloading the load. It seems that after Q-Robot, the latter problem is also coming to a solution.

30.4.2020

Prometec wants to be a part of the global network and in the front line when it comes to technological development of the bioenergy sector.
The new sampling methods combined with on-line measurement methods developed in the project will be demonstrated at test-sites (Power plants) in Finland and Denmark.
