The importance of weighing in the oil and petrochemical industry

The petrochemical industry is a part of the chemical industry that produces chemical products from oil or natural gas. Some of the products of radiochemical industries in Iran include chemical fertilizers, urea, diammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate mixed fertilizers, plastic raw materials, PVC and DOP, chemicals such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, ammonia, sulfur. , soot and…
The high value of chemical and petrochemical industry cargoes has created the necessity of installing and operating accurate and durable road scales compatible with the environment and conditions of refineries.

Weighing challenges in the oil and petrochemical industry

Choosing the right type of scale for this class is very important in reducing the loss caused by low-quality weighing according to the environmental conditions explained below. In the petrochemical, oil and gas industry, the type of chemical substance weighed is very important. If the type of scale implemented in this industry is installed correctly and according to the standard, the possibility of chemical spillage is greatly reduced and
Corrosion caused by the contact of chemicals such as chemical acids with the surface of the scale is prevented, which, in addition to preventing weighing errors, will lead to an increase in the life of the scale in this industry.

What is the appropriate tonnage of a road scale for the petrochemical industry?

In the field of chemical and petrochemical industries, due to the high volume of cargo, industrial owners usually use a 60-ton road scale or a truck scale.

Which road scale installation model (inside or on the ground) is more suitable in the petrochemical industry?

Although, in order to remove the chemicals spilled at the installation site of the scale, using the scale model on the ground provides the possibility of cleaning in a simpler way, but in order to reduce the sliding and vibration of vehicles in the petrochemical industry and to prevent the material from falling, it is more appropriate to The indoor model of the road scale should be used. Of course, paying attention to the average water level in different geographic locations is also important in choosing the installation model, and for example, in the refineries in the southern regions of the country, due to the high water level, the model is generally installed and implemented on the ground.

Which type of road weighbridge (all metal or all prefabricated concrete) is more practical in the petrochemical industry?

Considering the industrial working environment and heavy loads that carry chemicals with high corrosive properties, along with high accuracy, the strength and durability of the scale and its useful life are of great importance in the petrochemical industry. Although the all-metal scale is known as a capital product in the weighing industry, but due to the durability of the pan and the short life span of the metal scale, the metal structure of these scales is subjected to heavy vehicle impacts and super heavy loads and exposure to materials. Over time, the super-corrosive chemical will undergo severe bending and corrosion, and as a result, in addition to causing a gross error in weighing, it will not be usable due to high corrosion. Therefore, it is more appropriate to use all prefabricated concrete scales in these industries. All prefabricated concrete scales with micro-silica have the ability to resist corrosion against coarse chemical particles, and also due to the processing of its concrete in completely standard conditions of the factory, it has very high strength and resistance to impacts and super heavy loads. and in addition to higher strength compared to all-metal scales, they also have a very affordable price, which also allows them to be moved anywhere.
