On-line moisture analyzer
Thermo Scientific - Process Systems

Powered by patented pulse mode, ion chamber technology in conjunction with a 500 mCi (18.5 GBq) source, the Thermo Scientific MOLA ensures repeatability of ±0.2%. In situations where a smaller source size is acceptable and/or required, the MOLA-LS features a 100 mCi source (3.7 GBq) to ensure repeatability of ±0.47%. Both models optimize blast furnace performance by accurately determining the moisture content in metallurgical grade coke
and/or iron ore pellets.

Based on Thermo Scientific patented pulse mode, ion chamber technology, the MOLA and MOLA-LS allow for excellent stability and repeatability over a wide temperature range without the need for high voltages or temperature stabilization of the circuitry. The signal from the detector is sent to a Thermo Scientific 1400S transmitter where the calculations and density compensation (external input from density gauge) are performed.

Like all Thermo Scientific nuclear gauges, the MOLA and MOLA-LS are easy-to-install and service. With no component exceeding 45 pounds, installation is greatly simplified. The streamlined design also allows for rapid diagnostics and servicing of the unit.
