January 23, 2009—Mettler-Toledo Thornton has introduced a new online Boiler Conductivity Sensor for industrial boilers that can measure directly in the blowdown line without sample cooling. The company says this saves installation and operating costs.
The sensor enables continuous automatic blowdown control, minimizing corrosion and scaling to a greater extent than with manual measurement and control. The reduced need for boiler shutdown, cleaning and repairs can pay for itself in months. At the same time, continuous measurement and control conserves energy and treatment chemicals by eliminating excessive blowdown going to waste.
The Boiler Conductivity Sensor is used with the Thornton M300 Transmitter, which provides display, analog outputs and alarm relays, plus on-off and PID control capability. It can also be used with the Thornton 770MAX, Transmitter which accepts four sensor inputs in any combination of parameters including conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, flow, ORP, TOC, pressure and tank level, says the company.
