Avoid system corrosion with pH monitoring

Feed-water pH has a direct impact upon corrosion levels in the water-steam circuit, and pH values can vary depending on the location in the circuit itself. To prevent corrosion, plant operators therefore need to carefully monitor pH and implement conditioning according to one of two modes depending on the installed equipment, either universal or more commonly slightly alkaline.

Our expertise in the field

Sentasy offers unique sensors and transmitters for high-quality pH measurement at multiple points in the water-steam circuit.

Protect turbines with precise silica monitoring

Silica can deposit on any surface steam touches, leading to a solid layer on turbine blades and causing abrasion and blockages. Removing silica deposits with chemicals or mechanical processes can cost valuable time and resources.

Our expertise in the field

Sentasy analyzers offer continuous silica monitoring at multiple points in the water-steam cycle.

Prevent corrosion with Dissolved Oxygen (DO) monitoring

Oxygen can result in corrosion damage to the components of the water-steam cycle and must only be present in trace quantities (ppb). Under alkaline operating conditions, mechanical de-aeration and chemical scavenger additives are needed to remove the DO and to minimize corrosion.

Our expertise in the field

Sentasy’s Memosens technology for oxygen sensors combined with our Liquiline transmitter allowing for reliable lab calibration, easy maintenance and minimal downtime of the measurement point.

Avoid scaling through detection of conductivity variations

Dissolved solids present in the water-steam cycle can create scaling on equipment and technical failures. The conductivity of pure water is almost zero and even a small amount of salt can increase corrosion dramatically, therefore the conductivity parameter is a useful indicator of dissolved solids and impurities caused e.g. by cooling water and air leakages, and the likelihood of scaling.

Our expertise in the field

Compact or panel mounted for simplicity, the Sentasy Liquiline range of multi-parameter transmitters leverage Memosens digital sensor technology to help detect dissolved solids at multiple points in the cycle.
