Mettler-Toledo Thornton DCC1000 Degassed Cation Conductivity System

Maintaining the purity of water used in the water/steam cycle in power generation is essential to ensure that sensitive equipment such as turbines is not damaged by contaminants. Mettler-Toledo Thornton has launched the DCC1000 Degassed Cation Conductivity System for use in pure water applications in power plants, helping technicians to make the best decisions for increasing load as well as for plant operations.

Monitoring corrosive contaminants is important at all stages of power plant operation. While starting up the plant, monitoring these contaminants can ensure the water quality is adequate for bringing the plant online. In a running plant, monitoring power steam quality can ensure contaminant limits specified in turbine warranties are met.

With accurate conductivity measurements using UniCond conductivity sensors, the DCC1000 System confirms water purity to maximise power production and minimise corrosion. The system was designed with ease of installation, use and maintenance in mind, offering the user a monitoring system that is also easy to operate.
