Why Cation Conductivity Tells You More Than Standard Conductivity in a Boiler System
Standard conductivity measurement is one of the most common parameters in boiler feedwater and steam condensate monitoring. It is fast, inexpensive, and gives a useful general indication of total dissolved solids. But in power generation and co-generation applications, standard conductivity has a significant limitation: it cannot reliably distinguish between contaminants that are genuinely corrosive and […]
