More than 40 years ago, Germany's WOHWA set up the first blending and loadout systems in Europe. About 18 months ago, WOHWA opened a sales, service and spare parts supply center in Vancouver, Canada, where the company provides support to its dealers in the United States and Canada. Automatic systems for loadout to trucks, ships and trains are gaining increasing popularity because of their significant cost-savings potential. Costs for fuel, personnel, maintenance and operation can be reduced substantially by the use of automatic blending and loadout systems. Also, throughput rates can be increased with the use of these systems. Automatic control systems are often used in fractionated plants for the automation of blending and loadout processes where the aim is a high degree of accuracy and repeatability.
