If the plant established practice. This enables careful control of chemistry is allowed to vary from specified limits, the water chemistry, to achieve peak efficiency and expensive plant outages can occur, potentially minimize down time due to excessive boiler incurring costs of over $1,000,000 per day. corrosion or scaling. Accurate and reliable monitoring of water quality across a range of parameters is therefore critical in ensuring continuous and efficient operation of power generating equipment. 2
