Abstract

This paper describes the use of advanced process control and sensing technologies for product moisture monitoring and control within industrial process applications. The application of the generic model-based control strategy, an advanced process control technique, in conjunction with online moisture sensors will be shown to provide substantial benefits and superior control results. These technologies are reviewed and applied, with results obtained from a food processing facility. The application of the presented moisture monitoring and control solution to other industrial environments is also given
