EADS Sodern Controlled Neutron Analyzer

The SODERN Coal CNA is a new generation machine for the on-line chemical composition analysis of minerals in material moving along a conveyor.

Whether it is for coal, cement, bauxite, nickel, copper or iron in the form of ore or concentrate, the versatile and robust SODERN CNA contributes to the profitability of the minerals industry.

Full elemental analysis and non coal specific

Unlike other elemental analyzers that use PGNA (Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation) analysis exclusively, the SODERN CNA is “full elemental”. It is the only analyzer that directly measures all major elements (up to 12) including carbon, oxygen & sodium, and which determinates a reliable calorific value without prior knowledge of coal type.

Cutting edge PFTNA Analysis

SODERN is world known for its state of the art technology, especially concerning the PFTNA (Pulsed Fast and Thermal Neutron Activation) analysis, recognized as the most sophisticated technology available today for on-line bulk material analysis and control. It makes the SODERN CNA unaffected by varying belt loading, density changes or changing blend ratios from multiple coals.

Long-life Calibration

Comprehensive in factory calibration is maintained over time as the neutron output is fully controlled and never changes with SAP System.

Stable Analytical Performance (SAP) System

Using a neutron source, continuously controlled and stabilized electrically, guarantees maintaining the same level of performance over time. Moreover, this technology makes periodic and laborious on-site recalibration no longer necessary.

SOFTWARE

CNA User Interface:

The operator interface is a Microsoft Window's user-friendly NT-based system. The system interface is well suited for most plant DCS and PLC networks.

Process control software:

SODERN CNA can be supplied with process control software upon request.
