ECA-3 Online Elemental Coal Analyzer

Provides real-time quality analysis of critical process streams to facilitate sorting, blending and out-of-seam dilution control. Productivity is improved in mine management, preparation plants and inventory management. The ECA-3 Analyzer is ideal for raw coal, plant feed, clean coal and blended coal applications. Coal fired power plants benefit by reducing the use of higher, more expensive quality coals while increasing boiler efficiency.

CQM FLEX Coal Analyzer

The CQM Flex can incorporate an electrically-driven neutron generator, or Californium (252Cf) as its source of neutrons to meet the needs of various application requirements. The CQM FLEX measures and reports levels of sulfur, moisture, total ash, calorific value, elemental ash composition, and other critical parameters required by both coal consumers and producers to maximize the use of coal resources and improve efficiencies.

DDG3 Digital Density Gauge

With the latest controller and communication protocols options, this non-intrusive, non-contact nuclear density gauge is suitable for applications containing a high temperature, highly toxic or highly corrosive process and helps to ensure accurate process control and optimum productivity in industries including mining processing, petrochemical, coal operations, food processing, water treatment, dredging, and pulp and paper.

RadEye™ NL Personal Highly Sensitive Neutron Radiation Detectors

The new RadEye N / NL closes a gap in the classical product spectrum of the radiation measurement technology. Rem-Counters for neutron detection with a He-3 or BF3 tube are usually heavy and bulky since fast neutrons have to be moderated in order to be detected and to provide the correct neutron dose rate response. Low energy neutrons with their lower biological impact however have to be suppressed to a large extent. Dropping the demand for energy compensated dose rate response, a device can be built with one fiftieth of the weight and comparable or even a higher neutron response as compared to a Rem-Counter.
