Biomass Boiler Management and Cost Saving by New Analyzer Metso MR Moisture

-Inovetive Moisture Analyzer for Pulp, Biomass Material-

Abstract

The moisture content of many of the materials used in the pulp and biofuel power industry today is increasingly important to optimizing the operation of the facilities. The technology to measure this moisture content quickly is now available with Metso’s new magnetic resonance moisture analyzer “Metso MR Moisture”. Industry standards of moisture measurement is oven drying method. The issue with the oven drying method is that it takes a lot of time to run the test properly. Metso MR Moisture can be done in the less than two minutes. This quick measurement will vastly improve facilities ability to purchase their raw material based on the true value of material more accurately and incredibly faster than before. Metso Automation performed local test of this new analyzer in domestic pulp mill. The test results for biomass chips improved excellent measurement accuracy, faster measurement time and easy operation of Metso MR Moisture. It shows great possibility for biomass boiler management and cost saving by new analyzer.
