Customer value:
- knowing which measurements are necessary to continuously guarantee the process water quality and therefore the whole process
- less loss of water and steam
- knowing how to conduct these measurements correctly
- knowing which new market developments are available to conduct on-line monitors.
Deliverables:
- report due in September 2008.

Validation of degassed cation conductivity measurement equipment.
Goal:
A new parameter to help guarantee the water quality in water/steam cycles is degassed cation (acid) conductivity. The aim of this project is to validate the commercially available monitors.
Customer value:
- knowing which degassed cation conductivity monitors are suitable and reliable
- being able to determine if there is CO2 ingress from air or decomposition of organic material
- not having unnecessary delays during startup due to incorrect interpretations of high cation (acid) conductivity values.
Deliverables:
- report due in December 2008.
