Abstract:
A process for preparing alternative fuels so that it is acceptable for use in cement plants and other manufacturing processes is detailed. This includes a material analyzer that can detect trace contaminants in alternative fuels. This new analyzer, combined with an associated method of processing the alternative fuels allows users to blend the fuel to ensure that it is acceptable for plant operations.

Claim (Index 16):
A process of analyzing bulk materials using an on-line nuclear based analyzer including at least one neutron source and at least one detector, the process comprising:\n conveying the bulk materials to the on-line analyzer; conveying the bulk materials through the on-line analyzer on a conveying mechanism including a conveyor extending in a horizontal direction, a first side wall adjacent the conveyor and a second side wall adjacent the conveyor forming a detection zone; directing neutrons at the bulk materials using the at least one neutron source located proximate the detection zone; and quantitatively and non-destructively measuring an elemental composition of the bulk materials using the at least one detector located proximate the detection zone and located on an adjacent side of the detection zone.
