Importance of Degassed Cation Conductivity in Utility Plants
In the utility industry, cation conductivity is the most common measurement in a power plants steam/water cycle. Cation conductivity measurements help plants detect corrosive anions, such as chloride and sulfate, so plant personnel can confirm that feed water is clean enough to be turned into steam that wont damage turbines.

Importance of Monitoring Dissolved Oxygen in Boiler Water Systems
Many power plants boil purified water to produce pressurized steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity. Operators must carefully control the quality of this steam-water cycle throughout operations to optimize system performance, enhance operating efficiency, and maximize the lifespan of boiler equipment.
