M4 Knick Resource: Consolidating Measurement Lines in SWAS

Supplier Resource

In power generation, the Steam Water Analysis System (SWAS) is the critical early warning system for your steam cycle, ensuring plants run safely. Monitoring pH and conductivity is essential to prevent the buildup of salts and solids, which can lead to fouling, corrosion, and expensive unplanned outages. In SWAS, maintaining measurement redundancy is vital, but managing multiple transmitters often creates a significant space problem.

This application note from M4 Knick addresses the challenge of measurement redundancy and space with an innovative consolidation solution. The note highlights how using a compact, digital transmitter system drastically reduces the required footprint. This technology allows multiple measurement points to operate in parallel, giving SWAS engineers a massive advantage in space consolidation.
