Energy Technologies Inc. | Online Elemental and Process Analyzers

Industrial Process Analyzers for Coal, Cement, Biomass, Plastics, & More

Energy Technologies Inc. (ETI) specializes in the design, manufacturing, installation, and servicing of advanced online analyzers and process control systems for bulk materials. Our industry-proven solutions are trusted across the coal, cement, minerals, and biomass fuel sectors to deliver real-time measurements of key parameters—including elemental composition, ash and moisture content, heating value, and material weight—as products move through conveyors or piping systems.

By providing continuous, accurate analysis, ETI analyzers enable operators to optimize material blending, reduce waste, and maintain consistent product quality.



Products

ETI offers a full line of online analyzers and process control equipment designed to optimize the handling of bulk materials. Our products include PGNAA systems for full elemental analysis, dual-gamma analyzers for ash, moisture, heating value, and weight/density, and single-gamma analyzers for weight and density. These systems deliver real-time data, allowing operators to make immediate, data-driven process adjustments.

In addition to analyzers, ETI designs and manufactures high-speed sort gates and custom sorting/blending equipment. These automated systems integrate with ETI analyzers or existing plant controls to sort or blend material streams based on live analysis data—improving efficiency, product consistency, and overall process control.

PGNAA Elemental Analyzer for Coal and Cement

Full Stream Elemental Analyzer

The Model 730 Elemental Analyzer combines a Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analyzer (PGNAA) and an Ash/Density/Moisture gauge to measure elemental content, moisture, weight, and ash of materials as they are transported on a conveyor.

Dual-Gamma Ash Analyzer

Ash Analyzer

The Model DGA-410 /DGA-410M Dual-Gamma Ash Analyzer (Ashmeter) is a registered nuclear gauging device for measuring ash content, weight, and optionally, moisture content of bulk materials.

Nuclear Belt Scale

Nuclear Belt Scale

The Model 500 Nuclear Belt Scale /Density Meter measures the weight of bulk material as it travels on a conveyor belt.



Slurry Analyzer

Slurry Analyzer

The Model 520 Slurry Analyzer is a registered nuclear gauging device for measuring ash and density of coal slurries inside piping.

ETI BTU Meter

BTU Meter

The Model 510 BTU Meter is a registered nuclear gauging device for measuring ash, moisture, heating value, and weight of coal as it travels through a boiler feeder pipe.

Sort Gate

High Speed Sort Gate

The Model 2000 High Speed Sort Gate is a rugged gate assembly for separating materials based on quality. The gate works in conjunction with ETI's Dual-Gamma Analyzer or Process Control Analyzer, and is automatically controlled based on the analyzer measurements taken vs. the set-points controlled by the operator. Manual controls are also supplied.
