Insensitive to material variations such as particle size, material height & color, MoistTech moisture sensors provide continuous, reliable readings with zero maintenance and a one-time calibration with a non-drift optical design allowing operational personnel to confidently make immediate process adjustments based on real-time measurements. MoistTech has installations in almost every type of application including harsh applications and environments where other gauges could easily break down. In waste-to-energy facilities, controlling the ash residue is a critical concern of plant operators. After combustion, the ash residue that is left, is sprayed with water to reduce dust and odors which is then transported to landfills/moonfuls. However, too much or too little moisture can create several problems for waste-to-energy plants. By integrating MoistTech’s IR3000 online NIR Moisture Sensor into the process, processors can monitor and control 100% of the ash. Typical accuracy is about ±0.2% for ash moisture applications with a moisture range of 0-30% moisture. The sensor should be installed several inches above the conveyor belt. Once installed operators can continuously monitor the process and control the moisture content either manually or automatically For more information or to directly discuss your specific application, contact us at 941-727-1800 or info@moisttech.com | MoistTech manufactures near-infrared sensors that measure both moisture and thickness.
