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.

Cross Company is the ideal partner to implement and support the process analysis strategies outlined in this application note. We are experts in process instrumentation for industries including power generation, offering the complete M4 Knick line along with the local expertise to ensure your system is accurately specified and supported. We help you leverage this technology to reduce risk, save valuable time, and maximize the uptime and health of your steam water analysis systems.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
