Method and device for moisture determination and control

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for moisture determination and control using real time measurement of the moisture content of the material being processed. The present invention also provides a device that is used for moisture determination and control based on real time measurement of moisture content of a material being processed. The present invention is particularly suitable for controlling the moisture content of a material in a drying process, such as in a drying hopper, where the material moisture content is measured at an inlet and an outlet of the drying process. The drying process is further controlled by anticipating the drying load by measuring the moisture content of the incoming material to be dried.

主权项

1. A method for on-line moisture determination and control in an industrial process for direct control of a drying process based on real-time measurement of moisture content of material being dried, said method comprising:
(a) sensing moisture levels at one or more locations through dedicated sensing means to obtain sensed information; (b) collecting and collating the sensed information obtained in real time and in dynamic mode and transmitting the sensed information to a control means that is connected at one end to a moisture control mechanism; (c) processing the sensed information in the control means in real time to enable real time regulation of moisture content in the industrial process; and (d) wherein either the drying process is hastened to ensure greater drying or additional moisture is input based on processing of the sensed information in the control means.
