POWER PLANT WATER CHEMISTRY
  -- conductivity accounting with detail for understanding corrosion and scaling --

Advanced MicroLabs product innovation provides in-depth understanding of corrosion and scaling management.  Sending out samples -- and waiting for days or weeks --for specific contaminates is no longer required.   Augmenting a Power Plant's existing on-line monitoring effort with the missing EPRI defined water chemistry parameters results in a factual decision making opportunity.  Power Plants benefit by advanced safeguarding of equipment against scaling and corrosion.

Advanced MicroLabs technology makes it possible to continuously monitor online for the various ionic contaminants that contribute to water conductivity.  Power Plant operators have a definitive and high resolution answer to 95% or more of Power Plant water contaminants including Chlorides, Sulfates, Silicates, and metals Iron and Copper.

The combination of ...
  -- Low levels of detection (part per billion) thru a patented detector
  -- On-line sampling with patent pending fluidics
  -- High selectivity thru trade secret continuous feed sample preparation chemistry
... provides the opportunity for determining the level of anions and cations ...

  • Chloride (Cl-),

  • Sodium (Na+),

  • Sulfate (SO42-),

  • Magnesium (Mg2+),

  • Calcium (Ca2+),

  • Nitrate (N03-)

  • Ammonia (NH4+)

  • Hydrazine (N2H2-)

  • Phosphate (P04 3-)

  • Silicate (Si04 4-)

  • Copper (Cu+ & Cu+2)

  • Iron (Fe+2& Fe+3 )

  • Potassium (K+)

  • Bicarbonate (HCO3-)

... in aqueous solution in real time and on location.  The benefit is significant for clean water installations at Power Plants.

According to consultants and industry visionaries in the Power Plant sector, strategic placement of AML's technology can yield savings of millions per year for a typical facility.
