Equipment Used for Large Scale Hemp Drying
Hemp is now benefiting from a resurgence in popularity thanks to high demand for CBD oil, and commercial items including paper, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, biofuel, food, and animal feed. It's interesting to note that hemp oil is selling for approximately $1000 per liter. Expectations of the global industrial hemp market is projected to balloon to over $10 billion dollars by 2025.
Legalized as part of the 2018 Farm Bill, the Bill changed hemp from a controlled substance to an agricultural commodity. Hemp cultivation is attractive to farmers who have been impacted by the increases in tariffs on certain crops. Consumer demand, along with higher profits for farmers, are causing explosive growth. Hemp can be grown for its seed, fiber, or floral biomass.
Harvesting and drying of hemp is critical for CBD production. The presence of molds and mildews will lower the value of hemp floral biomass, so the harvest needs to be stabilized before mold, mildew, or decomposing can occur. Once hemp is harvested, it should be moved immediately moved to the drying facility to eliminate the moisture content in the harvested hemp.
The full article describes combustion type dryers and temperature control components used for high volume hemp drying. You can find it here.

The Basics of Closed Loop Control Systems
A closed loop control system uses a sensor that feeds current system information back to a controller. That information is then compared to a reference point or desired state. Finally, a corrective signal is sent to a control element that attempts to make the system achieve its desired state.
A very basic example of a temperature control loop includes a tank filled with product (the process variable), a thermocouple (the sensor), a thermostat (the controller), and a steam control valve feeding a tubing bundle (the final control element).
The video outlines all the major parts of the system, including the measured variable, the set point, the controlled variable, controller, error and disturbance.

Fox Thermal Mass Flowmeter Frequently Asked Questions
Fox Thermal Gas Mass Flowmeters are used in a wide variety of application across many industries including light and heavy industrial plants, process heating facilities, up/mid/downstream oil & gas, and water/wastewater treatment plants. Fox Thermal meters measure gas flow rates in mass (Kg/Hr, Lb/Hr) or standardized volumetric units (MSCFD, SCFM) and can measure virtually any gas flow. Many facilities today have one or more combustion processes, such as a boiler, process heater, or flares, in their plants. The adoption of accurate and reliable measurement devices will improve combustion efficiencies, utilities accounting, and regulator reporting.Flow Thermal offers a great FAQ (frequently asked questions) cut sheet. To get a copy of the Fox Thermal FAQ, go to this Combustion Technology web page.
