Purity and free moisture content are important quality factors for both natural gypsum and synthetic gypsum produced by Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD). In the case of FGD gypsum, the purity level gives an indication of the operational performance of the FGD plant. Continuous monitoring of the purity level is therefore necessary to control the FGD process.
HX204 is ideal for use in tough production environments thanks to it`s robust construction and halogen technology, which provides precise temperature control and fast, homogenous drying.
The HX204 significantly reduces the time and handling required for analysis compared to the drying oven method and therefore contributes considerably to the operational efficiency of flue gas desulfurization plants and gypsum processors.
This application note describes how METTLER TOLEDO Halogen Moisture Analyzers expedite the analysis of gypsum by delivering accurate data for free moisture content and crystal water content.
