Bioenergy

Density and moisture measurement in wood chips, pellets and fuel preparation.

In bioenergy plants the homogeneity and moisture content of the fuel directly affect boiler efficiency and emissions. Gamma measurement provides a stable reading even when the fuel is heterogeneous, dusty or contains mixed fractions.

Typical measurement points

  • On feed screw or conveyor ahead of the boiler
  • Across silo columns for bulk density indication
  • On chip/pellet preparation lines

Why gamma

  1. Unaffected by dust and mist where optical systems fail
  2. Stable calibration over long operating periods
  3. Rugged mechanics for harsh industrial environments

See the NT14 series for gauges suited to fuel flows.
