Lowering costs and corrosion in one easy step
Steam circuit monitoring in power plants
The use of amines to control pH levels in water-steam circuits is a common practice. By controlling the pH, corrosion can be limited which in turn lowers down time.
Minimising the cost of reagents
By monitoring the individual amines rather than just pH, it possible to dose only the required components into a steam circuit, minimising the cost of reagents added to the system.
Trace level analysis of sodium
An added benefit, along with the analysis of amines, ion chromatography provides trace level analysis of sodium, an indicator of cooling water entering the steam circuit.
Metrohm Process Ion Chromatography achieves sub-ppb detection limits by continual monitoring of water-process circuits without the need for manual sample handling or transfer.
