The Maldon, UK, office of NDC Technologies, a leading global provider of precision measurement and control solutions, reports the introduction of its PrediktIR gauge which has been designed for on-line moisture measurement of wood-sourced biofuel products such as woodchips, pellets and sawdust. “For years, generic instrumentation suppliers have offered moisture gauges which promise measurements at a low price,” said marketing director Ian Benson. “However, in practice, experience has not met expectation: these gauges need regular re-calibration, have poor measurement accuracy and instrument stability which limit their application where process control or even simple monitoring is important. We listened to the marketplace and developed a basic moisture gauge that delivers high performance and quality results.”

 

The new PrediktIR infrared moisture gauge is based on NDC’s proven optical filter technology. It delivers continuous biofuel moisture content information in real time, enabling operators to adjust the airflow to the furnace to optimise combustion and automatically control the drying process, without having to wait for lab sample results. www.ndc.com
