Detection and Removal of Wood Pellets in Pneumatic Conveying Pipelines Using Robot?

This paper presents a novel instrumentation system for detection of wood pellets in pneumatic conveying pipelines and removing them using robot. The objective of this project is to remove the wood pellets to increase the combustion efficiency which increases the power generation. This project is a human controlled robot that gives an insight view about the pipeline. A blower is used for maintenance. The robot is operated through PC using wireless zigbee technology and using wireless camera we can get information about the pipeline.
