Introduction
This application note illustrates the wood pellet production process and highlights the critical checkpoints where moisture content is measured.
Moisture checkpoints
Moisture content wood epllets is determined at key points throughout the production process. Incoming raw goods, wood shavings and sawdust, must be assessed for moisture content to determine the level of drying required prior to processing.
Regulations and quality in wood pellets production
Consumers are demanding premium quality wood pellets with low emissions and high heating efficiency. International regulations and certificates, such as the European quality label "ENplus", ensure highest quality pellets. One quality parameter is the moisture content.
HC103 – the perfect choice for analyzing moisture content in wood pellets
The HC103 Halogen Moisture Analyzer is the perfect choice for determining the moisture content of incoming raw materials and the final wood pellets. The proven measurement technology delivers highly accurate and reliable results. The moisture measurement is based on the same thermogravimetric principle as the drying oven but results are available in just 5–15 minutes.
How to use the HC103 moisture analyzer for fast and easy determination of moisture content in wood pellets
With the example of wood pellets it is demonstrated how easy and fast you get moisture content results for your sample.
A correlation of the moisture analyzer results versus the drying oven method is done proving that the HC103 moisture analyzers provides good repeatability and results matching the results from the official method drying oven.
