On May 13, 2026, dr Kamil Barczak delivered a presentation entitled “Analysis of the Possibilities for Reducing the Number of False Metal Detections in the Coal Feeding System of the New Jaworzno Power Plant”. The presentation took place in Room 431 at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology.
The presentation concerned an analysis of the coal feeding system at the Nowe Jaworzno Power Plant, with particular emphasis on the problem of false metal detections in the coal stream and the characteristics of this type of contamination. The work was carried out under contract No. UM/TW/18335/07221/2025 entitled “Optimization, Selection and Implementation of Technical Solutions Aimed at Eliminating Contaminants Supplied with Coal to the 910 MW Unit at TAURON Wytwarzanie S.A. – Nowe Jaworzno Power Plant Branch.”
The conducted studies demonstrated that appropriate optimization of detector parameters can significantly reduce the number of unnecessary alarms (mainly caused by aluminum cans), thereby improving the operational efficiency of the purification system.
