Swas
Swas is a specialized system used in power plants and other industries where water and steam are part of the process. The control panel is responsible for monitoring and analyzing the quality of steam and water in real-time, ensuring safe and efficient operations of boilers, turbines, and other equipment.
Key Features of a SWAS Control Panel:
- Monitors Water and Steam Quality:
- Purpose: Ensures the steam and water used in the plant’s processes meet quality standards.
- Parameters Monitored:
- pH levels
- Conductivity
- Silica
- Sodium
- Dissolved oxygen
- Chlorides
- Phosphates
- Hydrazine
- Analytical Instruments:
- Conductivity Sensors: Measure the electrical conductivity of water to monitor the presence of dissolved salts.
- pH Sensors: Measure the acidity or alkalinity of the water.
- Dissolved Oxygen Analyzers: Detect oxygen levels to prevent corrosion in boilers and turbines.
- Silica Analyzers: Measure silica concentration to avoid deposition on turbine blades and other equipment.
- Sample Conditioning:
- Purpose: SWAS systems usually include sample conditioning to cool and reduce the pressure of steam and water before it enters the analyzers.
- Sample Cooler: Reduces the temperature of steam and water samples to protect analyzers.
- Pressure Reducers: Lower the pressure of samples to safe levels for analysis.
