A Decade of Reliability: Walsn Upgrades MSM-100 Monitoring System for Key Power Generation Partner

At Walsn, long-term partnerships are built on two core principles: uncompromising equipment reliability and hands-on, dependable field service.

Recently, Walsn completed a comprehensive system upgrade for a major power generation customer in Indonesia who has utilized the Walsn MSM-100 Mill & Silo Monitoring System for over ten years.

Over 10 Years of Continuous Protection

Coal pulverizing mills operate under demanding conditions where stagnant coal dust can undergo smoldering, creating severe fire and dust explosion risks. For more than a decade, the installed MSM-100 system provided continuous, early-warning Carbon Monoxide (CO) monitoring at the plant—enabling operators to identify potential hazards early and maintain high safety and operational uptime.

When the customer scheduled a planned modernization of their monitoring infrastructure, they once again chose Walsn to deliver the next generation of mill safety.

 

Dedicated On-Site Engineering & Execution

To ensure a smooth transition with minimal impact on plant operations, the Walsn service engineer traveled directly to site to carry out the deployment firsthand.

The scope of field work included:

- System Upgrade & Hardware Inspection: Transitioning aging hardware components to updated MSM-100 system specifications.

- Sampling System Calibration: Optimizing probe, blowback, and gas cooling parameters for accurate CO detection under actual plant operating conditions.

- Commissioning & Verification: Conducting rigorous zero-and-span testing and alarm functional checks alongside plant technicians.

Built for the Long Haul

The successful completion of this upgrade highlights the long lifespan and modular serviceability of Walsn analyzers. By combining robust hardware—capable of handling high-temperature, high-dust environments—with expert field support, Walsn continues to help energy producers maintain safer, more efficient facilities worldwide.

Walsn extends its appreciation to the plant management and operations team for their ten-plus years of trust, and commends our field service engineering team for their commitment to excellence on site.
