SECOMEA - Explosion Power GmbH chooses Secomea and reduces its customer support costs

When the economic viability of a power plant depends on the constant functionality of an automated cleaning device, one thing must be certain: the device must deliver optimum performance at all times. For Explosion Power in Lenzburg, Switzerland, the issue of monitoring presented a major challenge. The company has over 400 shock pulse generators in operation in more than 20 countries around the world. The shock pulse generator is an online boiler cleaning device that generates automated pressure waves (shock pulses) by burning gas mixtures under pre-pressure. The vibrations generated in the boiler ensure that deposits adhering to the heat transfer surfaces are loosened. Shock pulse generators are used in waste incineration and energy generation in a wide variety of areas: from biomass power plants and coal-fired power plants to filters and much more.

The solution

Explosion Power chose Secomea to monitor and access its fleet of shock pulse generators, integrating a SiteManager 1139 into each control cabinet. Communication is via a SIM card and a mobile network or the customer's internet access.

The data exchanged via the SiteManager and LinkManager enables Explosion Power to monitor the performance of the shock pulse generators. This keeps the power plant boilers clean, ensuring optimum efficiency.

Explosion Power's customers also benefit from this. With the help of Secomea, Explosion Power has been able to reduce long-term maintenance and support costs.

Our sales company and partner in Switzerland, SATOMEC AG, supplied Explosion Power with Secomea's remote access solution. SATOMEC continues to support Explosion Power in its use of Secomea.
