Colmac power plant implements LIMS

Vancouver, BC, Canada – July 1, 2011 – 3LOG's LIMS solution including WeighWiz and LabWiz were installed at Greenleaf's Colmac power plant located in California's Inland Empire in the town of Mecca (approximately 40 miles southeast of Palm Springs).

Key reasons for selecting 3LOG included the ability to configure and manage contracts, ability to operate in attended or unattended mode at the weigh scale, accurate moisture and quality testing and the user friendliness of the solution.  One very important factor was being able to implement the solution within a matter of weeks to accommodate the transition of 2 retiring employees. 

Rob Crummett, Fuel Director at Greenleaf Power's Colmac plant said, "We chose 3LOG because they are clearly the leaders in the industry and their system offers far superior features/functions in comparison to all the other products available in the marketplace.  At this point we're ecstatic with our installation - 3LOG's resources were great and the whole implementation process couldn't have gone any smoother." 

The Colmac power plant produces up to 47 megawatts of green energy and is one of the largest biomass plants in California.  Greenleaf Power currently has a long-term agreement with Southern California Edison for the power produced at the Desert View facility.  The facility uses a circulating fluidized bed technology, making it one of the more advanced biomass power facilities in North America.
