Implementing a Low-Cost Non-Destructive Microwave Sensor to Monitor the Real-Time Moisture Content of Rubber Wood in Industrial Dehydration Processes
2025
Overview
This study aims to present a low-cost, non-destructive microwave sensor implementation to monitor the real-time moisture content of rubber wood in industrial dehydration processes. The proposed sensor is based on the free-space measurement technique with magnitudes S11 and S21 only. The novelties of this study consist of the natural frequency determination of rubber wood and the design of a sensor system using devices available on the market with reasonable cost performance. The natural frequency was determined using a simulation and was equal to 1.25 GHz. It specified the sensor system design and device selection. The designed system was initially verified by measuring the moisture content of rubber wood in the laboratory. The measured S11 and S21 voltages correlating with moisture content percentages were obtained and programmed. The system was then installed to monitor the moisture content of rubber wood in the dehydration process. The measured results deviated from those obtained from a standard method in the range of 7.67–15.38%. The error compensation was analyzed to improve the measured results that provided the deviated moisture content in the range of 3.58–5.21%. It can be inferred that the proposed sensor system has the capability to be implemented in industrial dehydration processes.
