Target applications

Measurement solutions for demanding energy and power plant water applications.

Whether the challenge is permit confidence, reagent use, analyzer maintenance or online-to-lab agreement, the best recommendation starts with the application.

NH3

Ammonia monitoring for sour gas stripping and effluent

For facilities monitoring total ammonia nitrogen, the Thermo Scientific Orion 8010cX offers an online path for ammonia measurement in wastewater and discharge applications.

It is a strong fit when the goal is to verify treatment performance, support compliance reporting and control cost without overspecifying the solution.

Si

Silica monitoring for combined-cycle and steam power generation

In combined-cycle power plants, HRSGs and steam turbines depend on reliable water chemistry. Online reactive silica monitoring helps power plant teams manage impurity risk and protect steam generation assets.

The Orion 8030cX is built for low-level silica measurement with simplified maintenance, automated routines and long unattended operation.

pH

High purity pH for boiler water and condensate

Low-conductivity pH measurement can be difficult to trust online. The Thermo Scientific Orion 2001SC ROSS high purity pH electrode brings research-grade ROSS technology into online applications.

For plants already relying on ROSS electrodes in the lab, using ROSS technology online can help improve confidence and measurement correlation.

Selection checklist

7 questions to ask before selecting an online analyzer or high purity pH system.

These questions help determine whether the recommended product, sample handling and maintenance approach fit the application.

01

What are you measuring?

Confirm whether the application is ammonia/TAN, reactive silica, high purity pH or a related water chemistry parameter.

02

Where is the sample from?

Effluent, sour water treatment, boiler water, condensate, HRSG blowdown and ultrapure water each have different measurement requirements.

03

What range matters?

The expected concentration or pH range affects analyzer selection, calibration approach, alarms and confidence in low-level readings.

04

What is the business driver?

Compliance, process control, reduced maintenance, replacement of an incumbent analyzer and lab correlation are different buying reasons.

05

How will the sample be conditioned?

Filtration, flow, pressure, temperature, particulates and sample availability can determine whether the installation performs as expected.

06

Who maintains it?

Operator routines, reagent changes, calibration frequency, troubleshooting and local support should be practical for your site.

07

What would success look like?

Define the goal before selecting hardware: lower operating cost, fewer interventions, better data, improved compliance confidence or stronger online-to-lab agreement.
