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