Maximize Co-Generation Reliability with Steam and Water Sampling
Combined heat and power facilities (CHP), also known as co-generation power plants, create high-pressure steam to generate power and provide process steam. Process plants seek to minimize the use of make-up water by re-using condensate that theoretically should be clean water.

Cation Conductivity vs. Specific Conductivity
Conductivity is useful as a general measure of stream water quality. Each stream has a relatively constant range of conductivity. Once a baseline is established, it can be compared with regular conductivity measures.

Importance of Degassed Cation Conductivity in Utility Plants
In the utility industry, cation conductivity is the most common measurement in a power plants steam/water cycle. Cation conductivity measurements help plants detect corrosive anions, such as chloride and sulfate, so plant personnel can confirm that feed water is clean enough to be turned into steam that wont damage turbines.

Importance of Monitoring Dissolved Oxygen in Boiler Water Systems
Many power plants boil purified water to produce pressurized steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity. Operators must carefully control the quality of this steam-water cycle throughout operations to optimize system performance, enhance operating efficiency, and maximize the lifespan of boiler equipment.
