Power and
CHP Plants
In power plants and CHP facilities, precise management of materials such as fuels, waste, and raw resources used in energy production is crucial for ensuring energy efficiency, environmental compliance, and the optimization of operating costs.
Weighing systems used in these facilities enable accurate monitoring of material quantities, which is essential for effective energy production planning, combustion control, and minimizing the risk of errors and delays. With modern weighing solutions, power plants and CHP facilities can gain full control over fuel quantities, emission levels, and the quality of materials used in the process.
Common industrial scales used in construction and roadwork
› Truck Scales
Used for weighing vehicles delivering fuels such as coal, biomass, RDF, or heating oils. They provide precise control over the quantity of materials delivered and dispatched, ensuring compliance with billing and environmental requirements.
› Rail Scales
Essential in power plants that rely on rail transport for fuel delivery. These scales weigh railcars both statically and dynamically, allowing for efficient logistics management and accurate raw material usage monitoring.
› Conveyor Belt Scales
Enable continuous weighing of materials transported on conveyor lines. Commonly used to monitor the amount of raw materials fed into boilers, helping optimize combustion processes and manage inventory more effectively.
› Hopper and Tank Scales
Used for precise dosing of fuels and chemical additives during combustion processes. Their automated measurement systems help optimize raw material consumption and minimize losses.
› Platform Scales
Ideal for weighing smaller loads, such as containers with chemicals, boiler components, or ash. They provide accurate weight control in both production and logistics operations.
Examples of Applications
› Fuel Material Weighing – Monitoring the quantity of coal, biomass, RDF, and other fuels delivered.
› Post-Combustion Waste Control – Weighing ash, slag, and other combustion residues for proper disposal management.
› Material Flow Monitoring on Conveyors – Real-time control of raw materials fed into boilers.
› Precise Fuel Dosing – Regulating fuel quantities entering boilers to optimize combustion and minimize losses.
› Raw Material Transport Accounting – Weighing vehicles and railcars to accurately track deliveries and shipments.
› Automated Combustion Process Control – Integrating weighing systems with plant automation for efficient energy management.
