DAILY CONTROL TESTS

Steam Ships (32-60 Bar MPSG) Control and Dosage Chart Standard Treatment with DREWPLEX® OX Corrosion Inhibitor
Read MSDS before running these tests. Before testing, samples must be cooled to 25°C (77°F) by collecting through a sample refiltered through the same filter paper since the filter becomes more retentive on the second filtration.

If the sample is colored or turbid, filter before testing. If the sample remains cloudy after the first filtering, the sample should be

NEUTRALIZED CONDUCTIVITY DAILY TEST PROCEDURES


1. Connect the Conductivity Electrode-ATC to the meter. Press the power button to power up 2 3
the meter.
2. Add 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator to the cooled boiler water sample and stir. If the
sample turns pink, add Gallic Acid while stirring until the pink color disappears. This
neutralizes the sample (Fig. 2).
3. Place electrode into sample and take care to ensure that the liquid level is above its upper
steel band. Stir the electrode gently in the sample to create a homogenous sample (Fig. 3).
MEANS OF ADJUSTMENT DOSAGE INFORMATION
4. Allow time for the reading to stabilize. Note the reading on the display.
5. Record the result and refer to chart at right for blowdown adjustment. • BLOWDOWN Up to 700 µS/cm - Satisfactory Above 700 µS/cm
NORMAL MAINTENANCE BLOWDOWN INCREASE BLOWDOWN FREQUENCY
Blowdown should be carried out as per boiler manufacturer’s instructions. Blowdown is necessary to reduce
dissolved and suspended solids. If suspended solids are noticed in boiler water samples, blowdown regardless
of conductivity test results. Increase flash bottom blowdown for the first 4-6 months after treatment startup to
remove any transported oxides coming back from the steam system.
