Reduce Costs, Save Time and Improve Measurement Accuracy
Power plants need to balance accurately measured critical water quality parameters, like chloride, sulphate and organics, with shrinking budgets for equipment and staffing. Using on-line ion analysers and TOC sensors, power plants can reduce costs and improve measurement accuracy at the same time.
Continuous measurement of water quality allows for faster response and correction of water chemistry problems, before expensive damage can occur to critical power plant components. Testing water quality directly in the water cycle results in a more accurate measurement, uncompromised by grab samples, airborne cross contaminants, temperature differences and human error. Typically, on-line analytical systems are also significantly less expensive to purchase, calibrate, service and maintain than their laboratory-based counterparts.
Continuously measure corrosive contaminants and reliably with the METTLER TOLEDO 3000CS Chloride and Sulphate Analyser and 5000TOCi Organics Sensor.
3000CS Analyser
• Directly measure trace levels of harmful chloride and sulphate ions
• Measure every 45 minutes to monitor water and steam cycles continuously
• Easy operation and maintenance with automatic calibration, touchscreen interface and predictive diagnostics
5000TOCi Sensor
• Continuous TOC monitoring with measurements taken every two seconds
• Measure TOC anywhere in your water cycle, even in hard to reach locations
• Robust sensor design with no moving parts for reliable performance
