Biodiesel Moisture

Why Moisture Control?

Biodiesel consists mainly of fatty acid methyl esters and is manufactured from a range of feedstocks including oil seed rape, waste cooking oil, palm oil, vegetable oil, and animal fats.

By measuring moisture continually through the production of biodiesel, proactive avoidance of moisture issues is accomplished. The IR-3000 moisture transmitter provides instant moisture content of the material being conveyed, allowing the operator to blend raw material to precise moisture levels required for efficient combustion.

Side By Side Comparison

non-contact

Our equipment never comes into contact with the product, allowing for less waste

zero drift

Our sensors are guaranteed not to drift over time – which saves time and money

closed loop

Create a closed-loop process by tying a moisture sensor into your PLC. Full control over the line!

no recalibrations

We’ve mastered the art of moisture sensors – your unit will never need to be recalibrated for the same product twice!

What is the Solution?

MoistTech has studied moisture and its applications in manufacturing for over 40 years. That’s why we’re confident our moisture analyzers are a step above the rest. We’re constantly working to develop the latest, most advanced moisture testing technology—which is how the IR-3000 came about.

We’ve combined our decades of experience and knowledge with feedback from our industry partners to create a moisture sensor capable of taking instant, non-contact measurements of moisture, temperature, and other vital levels with the utmost accuracy. When it comes to moisture sensors, the IR-3000 is the most advanced system available.

Installation Points

By mounting the biodiesel moisture transmitter several inches above the conveyor will allow the user to continuously monitor the process and can control the biodiesel moisture content either manually or automatically. The IR-3000’s unique feature is that it is able to monitor the process even with small gaps in product flow without impacting the accuracy.

Understand the Process

Using the IR-3000 drastically cuts production costs. It is energy efficient, low maintenance, and decreases startup and down times. Over dried product causes waste; so does product that is too moist. With the IR-3000, these problems will no longer be an issue.
