Weight based level indicating devices for chemical feed systems are gaining popularity

For years, weighing systems have been widely accepted as the standard for tracking chemical use in gas chlorination systems.  Today though, weighing systems are showing up in all types of chemical feed applications.  The popularity of weight based monitoring devices is growing as operators recognize the unique advantages of a scale over other level measuring devices.  Applications for dry or liquid feed systems can range from a 15 gallon

fluoride drum to a 200,000 lb lime silo. Continued gains in technology have allowed manufacturers to morph their products into more than just inventory control devices. New systems often provide advanced features such as chemical feed rate data and daily usage information to further help water treatment operations run more efficiently.
