Sewage Moisture

MoistTech Provides Efficiency

Sewage treatment plants discharge cake or sludge, a biosolid that is 70-80% water. The rest is a nutrient-rich organic material that has value as a renewable energy source or for blending in soil composts for agricultural soil conditioning, reducing the need for fertilizer. To be properly processed, the exact moisture content of the sludge must be known within 0.5-1%. The sludge can be burned to recover the energy; however, it must be dry enough to incinerate. Measuring the moisture becomes key.

MoistTech provides moisture sensors to monitor the moisture content during the drying process. The IR-3000 is a near infrared online moisture detector (with software) system which is designed to measure the moisture in the sewage drying process. It gives you complete control in real time because the sensor provides non-contact measurement. Mount the IR-3000 above your production line.

Try It For 30 Days!

PERFORMANCE

Unsurpassed in performance, our sensors can accurately measure  moisture within tenths of a percent of most applications

STABILITY

MoistTech sensors withstand the test of time and are low to zero maintenance

RELIABILITY

Rely on MoistTech’s NIR moisture sensors to never drift or need re-calibration

COST OF OWNERSHIP

A moisture measurement system is essential for the production process and in some cases will pay for itself in less than 30 days

High Accuracy

Better accuracy of information during the drying process allows you to have a better product and to control production costs more closely. The IR-3000’s sensor calibrations, measurement wavelengths, algorithms, and sensor optical requirements to measure sewage moisture are pre-set at the factory. No further recalibration on-site is necessary, not even maintenance, making accuracy in the field nearly effortless.

Typical moisture accuracy is about ± 0.05%, with coating accuracy varying from 0.1 to 0.01 micron, depending on the coating type. A typical analog range is 0-10% moisture. The outputs can be adjusted to optimize recording requirements or PLC.

What is the Solution?

The IR-3000 was designed and built to outperform the competition by providing long-term, reliable performance in even the harshest industrial environment. It is unaffected by:

  • Particle size or color
  • Product temperature
  • Environmental humidity or temperature
  • Foreign or inert objects
  • Dust
  • Gaps in product flow
  • Ambient Lighting

For more than 40 years, our expert staff has been assisting companies around the world with real-time moisture readings that make a difference in the quality of their products. We will be glad to answer all your questions about sewage moisture measurement Contact us today, and request a quote for your application.

Assess

Locate the point in the production process in which measuring moisture will be the most crucial and beneficial. Identify how you will use the moisture measurement data for improvements and if it will tie into your PLC.

Remember this could involve more than one installation point!

Develop

A closed loop process is achieved by incorporating a moisture measurement system into the manufacturing process. Developing a proactive solution to moisture control will avoid costly downfalls. 

Support

MoistTech’s experts will assess your specific application with lab tests, calibrations and accuracy results to ensure our equipment will peform for you. All of our sensors are pre-calibrated prior to being shipped to create a plug-and-play operation for the end-user.
