Precipitator Control and Management System (PCAMS)

precipitator control and management system main screen viewIn the 1980s, NWL’s Precipitator Control and Management System (PCAMS) changed the way industry managed its precipitator operations. Now PCAMS—designed for use with Microsoft’s Windows™ operating systems—offers a revolutionary new, icon-driven approach to precipitator monitoring and control.

NWL leveraged years of in-depth experience with precipitator monitoring to create a completely new and comprehensive graphic user interface. The result is PCAMS, which puts you in direct control of the following equipment:

The controller dashboard allows you to answer all your important questions at a glance:

  • How is my precipitator performing?
  • What’s the load in kilowatt hours?
  • What's the boiler load?
  • Duct opacity?
  • Stack opacity?
  • PowerPlus and/or Transformer/Rectifier (T/R) performance?
  • Inlet and outlet gas temperatures?

All of these, and more, are displayed right up front with time-based performance graphs, charts, or spreadsheets providing instant visual confirmation.

Improved Graphics

We have recently upgraded our PCAMS display graphics so that equipment parameters and menu navigation is accomplished with simple mouse clicks.  Click on the links below to see the screen shots:


With PCAMS you get maximum information—in real time—right away.  It allows you to compare, plot, and trend T/R output, primary voltage, primary current, arc rates, conduction angle, and other critical parameters. When you want detailed information, or need to fine-tune precipitator performance, PCAMS’s submenus provide the widest range of control options in the industry.

Additional features include:

  • Easy icon-driven approach for control of ESP voltage controllers, T/Rs and rapper controls
  • Quick display of ESP performance, load kW, boiler load, duct opacity, T/R performance, etc.
  • Built in trend analysis of critical parameters
  • Data access from anywhere, anytime
  • Cost savings via Energy Management option
  • Optional OPC server for connection to plant data systems
