Water & Steam Monitoring

Online analysis of process water, boiler feedwater, and steam, so operations teams see changes in water quality earlier.

01

Context and obligations

Water and steam quality affect the reliability of boilers, turbines, heat exchangers, and production processes. Manual sampling gives a snapshot; online monitoring gives a continuous picture that can be traced back.

Process and utility water

In many plants, water quality control points still rely on manual samples and handwritten logs. Online monitoring helps operations teams see trends, not just single readings.

Steam and boiler feedwater

In pressurized steam systems, water chemistry is monitored to protect assets. Samples need to be cooled and conditioned before analysis, so the sampling system matters as much as the analyzer.

SPARING

For wastewater, SPARING refers to continuous, online wastewater quality monitoring. Requirements follow the provisions that apply to your unit; we help prepare the instrumentation and the data support.

02

What needs to be measured

Parameters are matched to the sampling points and the purpose of monitoring. Common examples:

  • pH and conductivity
  • Turbidity
  • Dissolved oxygen
  • Water and steam chemistry in boiler systems, defined with the operations team

We start from the site’s sampling map: where samples are taken, their pressure and temperature, and who reads the data.

03

Recommended systems

Online water analyzers

Sensors and controllers installed at process water sampling points, with outputs to the DCS or a data recorder.

SWAS

A panel that conditions steam and water samples (cooling, pressure reduction, flow control) before online analysis. The detailed configuration is based on the sampling points and the unit’s needs.

Working principle: SWAS sample flow
  1. Sampling pointSteam and water from several points
  2. Sample coolerSample cooled, pressure reduced
  3. Flow controlSample flow kept stable
  4. Online analyzersWater and steam chemistry monitored
  5. DCS or data recorderValues used for operations and reporting

After installation: what Polaris does

Water analyzers need routine, simple maintenance that must not be skipped. A fouled sensor or an empty reagent bottle still produces a number.

  • Installation and commissioning, including the sample line layout.
  • Scheduled calibration and sensor cleaning.
  • Consumables such as reagents and electrodes, planned in advance.
  • Troubleshooting when readings are unstable.
  • Training for the operators who read and maintain the system.
