Weighing equipment is used to accurately measure large quantities of coal, biomass, or fuel used in energy generation. Weighing the incoming and outgoing flow of materials ensures efficient inventory management and prevents over or understocking. With materials being used in large quantities, they are often transported by truckload. Having a truck scale on site allows power generation plants to weigh trucks as they arrive and leave the site, while deck or hopper scales can be used to track and monitor used inventory, or boiler feedstock.
Overview
The power and utilities sectors are under the spotlight more than ever, with increasing regulatory control and an ongoing focus on sustainability.
Scales and weighing systems are essential for the power and utilities sector to measure and record raw materials travelling in and out of production and treatment plants. The data recorded by these systems not only supports regulatory compliance and protects revenue, but also improves safety and operational efficiency.
In a mission-critical sector with harsh operational environments, truck scales and weighing systems must be robust enough to withstand corrosive atmospheres, heavy washdowns, shock loading, extreme temperatures, and daily use. Avery Weigh-Tronix scales have a reputation for being strong and reliable, even in harsh environments.
In water treatment plants, truck scales are often used to weigh incoming treatment chemicals, as well as to measure outgoing trucks carrying the sludge that is produced as a byproduct of the treatment process. By weighing incoming inventory and outgoing sludge, water treatment plants can optimize their inventory, billing, and sludge disposal processes.
In addition, many plants will use floor and bench scales to measure and monitor chemical inventory, and to correctly weigh the qualities of chemicals required for water treatment.
Power and utilities providers are subject to strict regulations, and accurate measurement of waste materials is essential for compliance. Weighing equipment can be used in conjunction with other monitoring systems to measure the amount of waste and pollutants being created.
