Many power plants have sediment retention ponds that require control of pH for the effluent. The following guidelines for fossil plant sediment pond pH control will help you design a robust system ...

Systems pH control systems are known by their extreme rangeability and sensitivity, but contact between the measurement electrodes and hostile fluids can cause issues. Case studies of representative ...

Controlling the pH level of a solution is usually a tedious task. Adding an acid or base to the solution will change the pH, but manually monitoring the levels and adding the correct amount isn’t fun.

The Real-Time pH Process Modeling and Control Simulation Software is built in National Instruments' LabVIEW platform and includes pH process diagram, a strong-acid-strong-base pH model, a ...

Water quality monitoring and control are two of the most critical operations that power plants employ to protect assets, such as boilers and steam turbines, from corrosion by assuring the correct ...

pH is a measurable parameter between the values of 0 and 14, defining the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Solutions with a pH = 7 are considered neutral, pH < 7 are considered acidic and pH > 7 ...

In the early 1980s, researchers had concluded that dissolved oxygen (DO) ingress into condensate/feedwater was a prime factor for carbon steel corrosion (and unarguably corrosion of copper alloys) ...

This is the first installment of a multi-part series by Brad Buecker, Buecker & Associates. When I began my power industry career at a coal-fired plant in 1981, the common industry belief was that any ...
