Case Study: Heat and Electricity for All of Kuopio – Verifiably Lower Emissions with SICK Sensor Intelligence

We are thrilled to present a remarkable case study that showcases the power of SICK Sensor Intelligence in revolutionizing emissions monitoring and energy production. Discover how Kuopion Energia, a leading energy company in Finland, leveraged our MCS200HW multi-component analyzer system to achieve unparalleled efficiency, lower emissions, and reliable supply of heat and electricity to the city of Kuopio.

The Challenge: Modernizing for Cleaner Production

As a responsible energy provider, Kuopion Energia understood the importance of continuously modernizing its power plant to comply with emissions laws and reduce its environmental impact. With the need for a versatile and low-maintenance analyzer system, the company turned to SICK for an innovative solution.

The Solution: MCS200HW Multi-Component Analyzer System

Kuopion Energia implemented the MCS200HW multi-component analyzer system, which replaced the outdated testing system in the stack. This cutting-edge analyzer system offered advanced sampling capabilities, enhanced versatility, and low-maintenance operation, enabling precise monitoring of emissions while ensuring the reliable supply of heat and electricity to the city.
