- Moisture content
The Global Leader in Ash & Moisture Analysis – AshScan On-line Coal Ash & Moisture Analyser
AshScan Online Coal Analyser
The AshScan Online Coal Analyser provides real-time, continuous data on the total ash content of coal in real time. Utilising dual energy transmission (DUET), known as low energy transmission technology (LET), AshScan’s Online Coal Analyser is a trusted and tested performer suitable for most coal types. Ash is comprised of oxides of silicon (Si), iron (Fe), aluminium (Al) and calcium (Ca).
The AshScan Coal Analyser measures the combined total of these elements – directly correlating with total coal ash content through two radioactive sources – Am-241 and Cs-137 DUET technique. Am-241 is a low-energy gamma radiation. Absorption of Am-241 gamma rays occurs due to the presence of Si, Fe, Al and Ca as well as by coal on a belt scale; Cs-137 gamma radiation absorbs only due to coal present on a belt scale. Normalisation allows Am-241 measurements to be calibrated against bed depth measurements, providing accurate assessments of total ash content by calibrating against laboratory-reported sample results.
The AshScan Online Coal Analyser is ideal for raw and washed coal samples where the ash chemistry is relatively consistent and bed depth does not exceed 14 inches. The AshScan’s practical design incorporates many unique features unavailable elsewhere; modern electronics, communications and human-machine interface make setup, calibration and ongoing accuracy verification straightforward – an essential feature in today’s coal and power industries.
The AshScan has become a trusted tool for accurate measurements that meet industry specifications in these sectors. It is frequently employed in Quality Control/Metallurgical Accounting.
Ashscan Duo with integrated MoistScan Online Coal Moisture Analyser
The Ashscan Duo coal ash & moisture analyser has been designed to be simple to install and affordable. It can be more accurate than conventional labour-intensive techniques and provides real-time information. Ash and Moisture results are continually updated to enable control room operators to make the necessary adjustments to optimise their process. High-Performance Ash & Coal Moisture Analyser designed for the harshest conditions.
The Ash Scan Duo On-line Coal Ash & Moisture Analyser is a cutting-edge analyser that leverages two radioactive gamma sources: a high-energy gamma ray (CS-137) and a low-energy gamma ray (Am-241). By measuring the absorption of these attenuated gamma rays and incorporating microwave technology, the Ash Scan Duo can also provide online moisture measurement for the same coal cross-sectional area. These three parameters serve as the foundation for a regression equation that enables the calculation of the calorific value.
The Ash Scan Duo is widely utilised in the coal and power industries for crucial purposes such as quality control and metallurgical accounting. Its advanced capabilities make it an invaluable tool for ensuring coal’s optimal quality and performance in various applications.
