Abstract:
Refining crude and bulk chemical production requires frequent testing to ensure safe plant operations with respect to corrosion prevention system and discharge permitting. Tedious manual titrations require a significant allocation of technician time, potential exposure to hazardous chemical due to frequent reagent addition, and potential for errors in data transcriptions from these manual processes. This presentation will focus on the use of automated instrumentation to run some of the more common standard methods for process and discharge water analysis. The use of automated sample management, reagent dispensing and approved photometric measurements can reduce the technician time over 20X, reduce exposure to hazardous chemicals, and eliminate data transcription errors.
