Chemical research

Chemical water research is specifically applied when issues occur with, or as a result of, the water quality in industrial- or water systems. An example of which is the occurrence of elevated corrosion in technical installations where, by means of the research an attempt is made to discover the cause of this corrosion.

In pipes possible problems with polution of for example iron, chalk (lime) and manganese can surface. Long lasting inactivity of the system can be a motive for performing chemical research.

Research will in general focus on the below mentioned substances:

• pH-value / acid value
• Ammonium
• Chloride
• Sulphate
• Hardness
• Iron
• Manganese
• Nitrate
• Nitrite

Chemical water research is most commonly performed in the following installations/facilities:

• Tube water systems
• Heat generator / Heating systems
• Cooling towers / Refrigerating towers
• Steam boiler / Steam kettle
