Thanks to Metrohm’s many years of experience in the field of ion analysis, we are able to measure numerous analytical parameters, of which the following are particularly important in process analysis:
- pH value
- Conductivity
- Redox potential
- Acid content
- Free and total alkalinity
- Water hardness
- Phosphates
- Chloride
- Chlorine
- Ammonia
- Nitrite
- Fe, Cu, Ni, Zn
- Na, Ca, F (with ISE)
- Free and total SO2
- Sulfate
- H2S / mercaptans
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Free fatty acids
- Surfactants
- Water content (Karl Fischer)
- Organic additives (CVS)
All analytical methods that are already used in the lab can easily be transferred to process analysis.
