Xinjiang Huadong Group Successfully Applies a New Type of Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer: Helping to Set a New Benchmark for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction in the Thermal Power Industry

Customer Profile
Xinjiang Huadong Group is a major thermal power generation enterprise in Xinjiang, undertaking the core task of regional power supply. As a practitioner of the national "dual carbon" strategy, the Group has always been committed to improving the efficiency of coal-fired units and reducing pollutant emissions through technological innovation. However, in the boiler combustion optimization process, the instability and frequent maintenance of the original oxygen monitoring equipment have become bottlenecks restricting efficiency improvements.

Challenges: Pain Points of Traditional Equipment
In thermal power generation, the oxygen concentration monitoring of boiler combustion is directly related to combustion efficiency and environmental protection indicators. The original oxygen analyzer of a power plant in Xinjiang Huadong had the following problems:

Large Data Fluctuations Affected by flue gas dust and high-temperature environments, the measured values frequently drift, leading to lagging adjustment of the automatic control system;

High Maintenance Costs Monthly shutdown calibration is required, the sensor life is short, and the annual cost of spare parts replacement exceeds 200,000 yuan;

Energy Efficiency Loss Oxygen control deviations caused the boiler thermal efficiency to decrease by about 0.8%, and the annual coal consumption increased by thousands of tons.

"The original equipment cannot meet the needs of refined management, and a high-stability, low-maintenance solution is urgently needed." said the technical person in charge of Xinjiang Huadong.

Solution: High-Performance Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer
In response to customer pain points, our company customized the TFYHG® 5100 series zirconia oxygen analyzer ，the core technical advantages include:

Triple Anti-Interference Design Using self-developed high-temperature filtering modules and reference gas compensation technology, effectively coping with flue gas fluctuations, and achieving measurement accuracy of ±0.5%;

Ultra-Long Life Sensor The corrosion resistance of the new composite ceramic zirconium tube is increased by 3 times, and the calibration cycle is extended to 6 months;

Intelligent Diagnosis System Built-in AI algorithm for real-time monitoring of probe status, early warning of faults, and reduction of unplanned downtime risk.

During project implementation, the technical team was on-site throughout the process, completing the replacement of old equipment and system debugging within 72 hours, and conducting special training for maintenance personnel to ensure seamless connection.

Results: Breakthrough in Economic and Environmental Benefits
Since the equipment was put into operation, significant results have been achieved:

Improved Combustion Efficiency The oxygen control error has been reduced to within 0.3%, the boiler thermal efficiency has increased by 1.2%, and the annual saving of standard coal exceeds 5,000 tons;

Reduced Maintenance Costs Annual maintenance frequency reduced by 80%, spare parts expenditure reduced by 65%;

Emission Reduction Compliance The concentration of nitrogen oxides emissions is stably below 50 mg/Nm³, helping the power plant pass environmental protection assessment.

"This is one of our most successful technical transformation cases in recent years." feedback from the Xinjiang Huadong project team, "The new equipment not only provides accurate data, but its self-diagnosis function greatly reduces the maintenance pressure and provides reliable support for the construction of a smart power plant."

Industry Demonstration Significance
The successful implementation of this project has provided a benchmark solution for oxygen monitoring in high-dust and high-humidity environments. Currently, Xinjiang Huadong has promoted this product to three other units and plans to include it in the Group's green technical transformation recommendation list. In the future, the two parties will carry out in-depth cooperation in the field of combustion optimization big data analysis, jointly exploring the path of low-carbon transformation of thermal power.

Conclusion
Empowering the upgrading of traditional energy with technological innovation is the only way under the "dual carbon" goal. We look forward to working with more partners to promote the greening of industry with precise measurement technology and contribute to global sustainable development.
