Hello All:
I'm looking for a relatively maintenance-free and robust solution for accurate measurement of pH for use after a gas/water separator in an oily water environment. Max temperatures will be around 120F with pressures possibly reaching nearly 500 psi.
Doing this type of thing in a...

Try some non-oxidizing biocides: Glutaraldehyde or maybe Isothiazolin (active names).
Both of these are extremely effective at penetrating and killing because they are cell de-stabilizers and not oxidizers (therefore are nicer to metals). However, because of that nature the kill...
Aldream and ProjectEng, Dissociation probably wasn't the best choice of words in that post. What I was getting-at is the percentage of product available as Active, which does the killing. I tried to paste a graph in here...but anyway...here is roughly how things work-out...
Well, theory says that everything wants to equalize and be happy. The water moves the electrons. Unless the water itself is non-conductive you will get galvanic corrosion. How bad? How fast? Who knows.
An extremely effective and cost effective option for "cycled" water with relatively high pH, say above 8.5, (where you are operating), is to manufacture hypobromous acid on site--that is a ratio of a chlorine source and Sodium Bromide. The chlorine source can be liquid or gas with...
Yes, cold lime softening is being used. But per regulation, city water quality needs to be continuously verified and recorded.
All maintenance on the meter is current and has been performed to specs. My current guess is that an unknown interference is present in too high quantities that is...
Thanks for the reply. Yep, Alk is related to pH and we're monitoring that too (it's for a beverage manufacturer). The log makes it difficult to get the precision that is needed.
That said, I've run-across problems with the same brand of controller and apparently often-times the widely...
Hello All:
Has anyone here had any successful dealings with Hach's APA 6000 meters? The problem we're having is that the automated readings are not even close to the manual testing. Perhaps a specific backround interference is affecting one test but not the other (methyl purple and N50 as...
4 to 5 cycles is on the low side for a cooling tower application (if you're talking about boiler blowdown the game is already over with respect to running any type of effective treatment program); it is difficult to say what can be done without knowing what is in your city/well makeup, but...
