On-Site Moisture Control with the SONO-M1C® Coal Moisture Meter
HD2® hand-held device coupled with SONO-M1C® probe makes a dependable Coal Moisture Meter for measuring moisture content in coal and other materials like iron oxide, clayey soil, clayey sand, fly ash, limestone, blast furnace slag, and other similar materials.
Introducing the Seztec SONO-M1C® Coal Moisture Meter
With the Seztec SONO-M1C® Coal Moisture Meter, you can accurately measure volumetric moisture content (%) in coal and various conductive materials directly on-site, avoiding the need for lengthy kiln drying. This innovative solution allows you to perform field testing with precision, ensuring optimal product quality control.
The Importance of Monitoring Moisture in Coal Mining Operations and Storage
In coal mining operations, monitoring moisture levels is crucial for several reasons. Excessive moisture content in coal can lead to various issues, including:
- Reduced heating value: High moisture content in coal reduces its calorific value, affecting its combustion efficiency in power plants and industrial boilers.
- Increased transportation costs: Wet coal is heavier and bulkier, leading to higher transportation costs per unit of energy produced.
- Storage issues: Moisture in coal can cause spontaneous combustion, leading to safety hazards and financial losses.
- Processing efficiency: Excessive moisture can hinder coal processing operations, increasing energy consumption and reducing productivity.
By monitoring moisture levels in coal mining operations and storage facilities, companies can optimize their processes, minimize costs, ensure safety, and enhance overall efficiency.
The Technology Behind Our Seztec SONO-M1C® Coal Moisture Meter
Our moisture sensors harness the power of patented TRIME® TDR technology, creating a robust measuring field that penetrates deep into a large volume of material. This results in highly accurate and repeatable moisture measurement values. With over two decades of expertise, Seztec’s handheld and online moisture probes are tailored to meet all your moisture measurement needs across a wide range of materials, including coal and conductive substances.
Why On-Site Coal Moisture Measurement Matters
Determining the moisture content of coal and other conductive materials before processing is crucial for achieving the desired quality and efficiency. Traditional moisture measurement techniques like oven-drying can be time-consuming and impractical for field testing.
With the HD2® device, your QC officer or site engineer can obtain moisture readings directly on-site in a matter of seconds! This eliminates the need for lengthy kiln drying and allows for efficient field testing. The meter measures three critical parameters: volumetric moisture (%), temperature (F), and conductivity (EC), providing you with real-time data for immediate decision-making.
