Measuring moisture of coke and iron ore/ concentrate in bunkers and silos
An online moisture measurement at the bunker or conveyer belt provides real-time information on the moisture content before the material enters the blast furnace.
Customer benefits
- Improved thermal control the blast furnace operation
- Online, real-time process information
- High accuracy with very good reproducibility
- The measurement can be installed at, or into the bunker/silo wall
Characteristics
- A neutron source emits neutrons, which will be converted to "slow" neutrons, after they impact multiple hydrogen atoms. The amount of backscattered "slow" neutrons are proportional to the coke moisture
- Non-contact measurement and no disturbance in the flow
- Highly reliable, long-term solution
- Maintenance-free operation
- Easy to install or retrofit on existing bunkers or silos
- Large measuring volume provides representative measurement
