Moisture measurement of coke and iron ore/concentrate on conveyor belts
An online moisture measurement on a conveyer belt provides real-time information on the moisture content before the material enters the blast furnace.
Customer benefits
- Improved thermal control for blast furnace operation
- Online, real-time process information
- High accuracy with very good reproducibility
- The measurement can be installed on the conveyer belt
Characteristics
- A neutron source emits neutrons, which will be converted to slow neutrons, when they hit hydrogen atoms. The amount of backscattered slow neutrons is proportional to the coke moisture.
- Non-contact measurement and no disturbance in the flow
- Highly reliable, long-term solution
- Maintenance-free operation
- Large measuring volume provides representative measurement
