We provide on-site water analysis for various applications such as cooling water, boiler water, boiler feed water, condensate water, makeup water, and effluent. Our services include providing guidelines to your operators and offering insights into current and future programs aimed at energy savings.
Water Analysis
We analyze a range of parameters including:
- pH
- Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
- Hardness
- Phenolphthalein Alkalinity
- Methyl Orange Alkalinity
- Calcium Hardness
- Silica
- Iron
- Nitrate
- Sulphate
- Phosphate
- COD-BOD
- Oil & Grease Contamination
- Suspended Solids, and more.
Treatment Programs
We offer comprehensive treatment programs, including
- Scale Prevention
- Over-designing of systems.
- Limiting the cycle of concentration.
- Softening the makeup water.
- Acid feed to maintain pH (suitable to maintain the Langelier Saturation Index around +0.2).
- Mechanical means such as increasing water velocity or using sponge balls for in-pipe cleaning.
- Periodical cleaning.
- Treatment with chemicals.
Chemical Treatment
Chemical treatment is a practical and cost-effective method to control deposition. It involves mechanisms of threshold inhibition and crystal distortion, where chemicals prevent or retard the growth of scale-forming crystals. These chemicals interfere with crystal nucleation, leading to distorted, easily dispersed scales. This property allows for operation at higher pH and a high cycle of concentration.
Monitoring of Treatment Chemicals
Success in any treatment program relies on maintaining parameters, and to achieve this, closed monitoring of water parameters and chemical dosage is crucial. Evaluation should cover corrosion, scale and fouling, and microbiological growth. For more details on monitoring methods, please refer to our technical service page.
