Introduction to Industrial Water Testing

Routine water testing is a necessity for industrial water systems. These include cooling towers, steam boilers, hot water boilers, drinking water, wastewater, ultra-pure water, and others. Analyzing water samples is key to understanding the general conditions of the treated system. Testing water samples can provide you with information on the condition of your system, the quality of the water being put in your system, and the effectiveness of your treatment plan. Most importantly, testing water samples will ensure that the system is being operated within the prescribed parameters to maximize efficiency and prevent costly unplanned maintenance.

To ensure that decisions made around the results of the water tests are based on accurate information, it is important to consider the impact of interferences and other factors that could affect the accuracy of the test results. Improperly treated samples, samples pulled from the wrong area, or failure to follow the appropriate testing procedure can lead to inaccurate results. Having inaccurate information can be just as harmful as having no information.

What Should Water Be Tested For?

Every system and water treatment plan is unique, so some analytes will be specific to the application or system. There are many common parameters that are useful to know regardless of the system.

Common, non-system-specific testing parameters may include:

In addition to the parameters listed above, the following system-specific parameters are common to the system type.

Cooling Towers Parameters

Phosphonates
Polyphosphate
Chlorides
Orthophosphate
Molybdate
PTSA
Oxidizing biocide level (total chlorine, bromine, free chlorine, chlorine dioxide, etc.)
Non-oxidizing biocide level
Copper
Silica
Azole Level (TTA, BZT, HSA etc.)
Biological testing (dip-slides, ATP, etc.)

Steam Boilers Parameters

Heating Boilers (Hot Water Boilers) Parameters

Wastewater Parameters

Polymer
Various metals
Turbidity
Jar Testing (product performance)
Treatment specific testing
Biological testing (dip-slides, ATP, etc.)
Chlorine (discharge water)

Drinking Water Parameter

Oxidizing biocide level (total chlorine, bromine, free chlorine, chlorine dioxide, chloramines, etc.)
Biological testing (dip-slides, ATP, etc.)
Copper
Iron

The examples above are a few examples of industrial water systems. These systems are found across many industries related to comfort heating or cooling, energy, food sanitation, clean in place, food preparation, manufacturing, laundry, agriculture and many others.

How to Interpret Water Test Results

The water analysis gives the water treatment professionals and system operators a snapshot of the system conditions. Interpreting the test results is key to understanding the overall product and system performance. Each tested parameter will have a control range or recommended range based on:

The water treatment professional’s knowledge of the system
Quality of the make-up water
Water limitations
Discharge limitations
Overall performance expectations.

Interpreting the test results should be done using the entire testing report. Many parameters are directly linked to each other and will increase or decrease with another parameter.

An example of this is PTSA and phosphonate in a cooling tower system. Since PTSA is present in the system as a tracer or indicator of the amount of corrosion/scale inhibitor in the system, the phosphonate level should correlate directly to the amount of PTSA in the system. For example, if the PTSA level is within the recommended control limits and the phosphonate is over or under the limits, the calibration of the PTSA sensor should be examined. If the PTSA sensor is properly calibrated, the phosphonate level should be evaluated further as this could be indicative of other system and or product concerns.

Since parameters such as pH, hardness, conductivity, and alkalinity are commonly used to determine important system conditions such as cycles of concentration, close attention should be paid to these and the relationship between them. Any variation of these parameters from the prescribed control limits should be compared with the overall water analysis.

An example of this is the relationship between conductivity and alkalinity when they are used as indicators for cycles of concentration. In a water system with a make-up conductivity value of 300 mmhos and 100 ppm of total alkalinity, at four cycles of concentration the system conductivity should be approximately 1200 mmhos and 400 ppm of total alkalinity. At these levels, the numbers balance with the cycles of concentration. However, if the pH of the system is being adjusted by the addition of acid or caustic, the alkalinity of the system will not correlate to the conductivity cycles and cannot be used to estimate the cycles of concentration.

Another example is the relationship between hardness and conductivity when used in the same way as our previous example. If a system has a make-up conductivity of 300 mmhos and a total hardness of 100 ppm, at four cycles of concentration, the conductivity should be approximately 1200 mmhos and the total hardness should be approximately 400 ppm. If the hardness level is noticeably less, the testing should be evaluated further. Examples of the conditions that could impact this balance would be a variation in the make-up water chemistry over time or the loss of hardness due to scale formation.

Since many analytes connected, having a comprehensive report makes analysis significantly easier. Reporting software like Aliquot provides all your water treatment data in one report so you can make treatment decisions right in the field. It also allows you to log your test results directly, so there is less risk for transcription errors.

If the testing results do not make sense or do not fit a known scenario, a close examination of the testing procedures may be warranted to ensure that the information is accurate and can be acted upon appropriately.

Interferences That Can Impact Water Testing Results

It is important to understand that there are a variety of conditions and factors that can impact the accuracy of the water sample testing results. These are generally referred to as interferences and can be related to chemical, mechanical or human issues. The number of interferences is too numerous to list, but there are several examples of these that apply to routine testing. These may include interferences by products being added to the treated system or even the tested parameter itself. With 80-85% of errors related to water quality results being impacted by user error, it’s important to follow best practices to minimize and eliminate errors

Here are some essential steps to follow:

Use clean equipment – properly rinsing and cleaning equipment before and after testing helps to eliminate contamination from previous tests.
Collect accurate samples – there are a variety of factors around sample collection. For starters, it’s important to make sure you collect a sample that is representative of the entire system. When performing your test, pouring an accurate sample size is also important. Small errors in sample collection can have a big impact on your results.
Use proper testing technique – Holding bottles vertically for consistent drop size, proper lighting and simply following written procedures are very important. While they may seem minor, they can add up in a big way.
Interpreting your results – making sure you are using the proper factors and expressing your results properly during your test is also important. Is your test expressing results as sulfite or sodium sulfite or nitrite vs sodium nitrite? When calculating and interpreting your water testing results, these matter.

A common chemical interference is seen in the testing of chlorine using the DPD method. While DPD is commonly used to determine the amount of chlorine in a sample, higher levels of chlorine can cause bleaching of the reagent and mask the test results. The phenomenon can occur with as little as 5 ppm of chlorine in the sample. To mitigate this problem, the sample can be diluted, and a multiplier can be applied to the results to compensate for the dilution.

An example of physical interference is seen when a sulfite test is run on a boiler water sample when waiting for an extended period between sampling and testing. Exposure to air for an extended period can result in a lower-than-expected result. To avoid this, the sample container should be capped and the sample tested as soon as possible. It’s also critical that sulfite samples be cooled before testing. Not following these important steps will lead to inaccurate results.

Though the list of possible interferences can be overwhelming, many common interferences are listed within the test kit documentation and can be easily avoided by following the basic procedures outlined in the testing instruction.

Historically, water treatment feed and control systems have functioned as stand-alone controls and have seldom been integrated with the facility water treatment systems. While possible, integrating water treatment systems has typically required the involvement of control system integrators. Advancements in commercially available feed and control systems have been made that have simplified this often-underutilized technology. With environmental concerns and conservation efforts coming to the forefront of the water treatment industry, communication and collaboration with plant systems to provide critical system data have become even more important as a means of servicing water treatment systems. This system information may include water usage, chemical levels, chemical consumption, and various alarms. The ability to remotely mitigate these is also one of the integration focuses.

Wastewater System Integrators

Water and wastewater system integrators provide the products and services required to allow systems to communicate both data and control across multiple control platforms.

The system integrators provide a myriad of services, including engineering, programming, planning, project management, and often, the labor required to physically couple the systems. The expertise required to perform these tasks is paramount to the success of water treatment integration projects. Water treatment system integrators are knowledgeable about multiple platforms and the benefits and/or limitations of each.

With the growing popularity and cost-effectiveness of IoT solutions, the integrator’s role in providing automation solutions has also expanded to include the integration of these technologies. With IoT typically involving wireless communications, the role of the system integrator now includes supporting the technologies associated with this type of communication.

Automation technology is in a constant state of advancement, so the continuing education of the water treatment integrator is critical to their understanding and knowledge of emerging technologies along with regulatory changes.

Since these automation solutions often require the installation of wire and cable or the utilization of existing facility infrastructure, the knowledge of the control system integrators is invaluable to the success of water and wastewater integration projects. Ongoing services including software updates, security audits, control changes and visual enhancements, along with general maintenance tasks that are typically in the integrator’s scope of work as well.

Common Challenges and Solutions for Water Treatment Facilities

Communication between multiple protocols
The involvement of multiple media types
The inherent limitations of OEM or industry-standard water treatment feed and control systems available to the water and wastewater treatment industry
Cost of integration
Distance between integrated platforms
Availability of facility manpower to complete tasks associated with the projects
Security concerns
Misconceptions about the complexity of the integration process

While most water treatment feed and control systems offer the built-in ability to send a limited number of signals to plant automation systems, they are seldom used due to the limited number, quality and general complexity of the signals. Distance limitations, installation costs, signal quality and general understanding contribute to these being overlooked.

Since multiple facility automation systems, often referred to as SCADA or BMS, can be involved in the integration process, it’s important to understand the differences and similarities between these systems.

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are based on PC technology and involve software of machines that communicate with PLC systems (programable logic controller) or, in the case of water and wastewater treatment systems, OEM controllers. The SCADA platform provides the visualization, data acquisition, reporting and control interface. These are typically interfaced with PLCs via a bus such as Fieldbus, Ethernet IP, Modbus (TCP or RTU), Profibus, etc. Most OEM water treatment control systems available to the water and wastewater treatment industry now include the ability to communicate with SCADA. The most common of these is Modbus TCP.

Building management systems, often referred to as BMS, are comprised of multiple embedded control systems and are often associated with HVAC, lighting, security, and facility systems. While BMS systems are very similar to SCADA systems in that they are comprised of multiple controllers in communication with a PC type system, they generally differ in scope. The protocols involved in a BMS system are often manufacturer specific and include BACnet, LonWorks, Metasys, and others. Many commonly available OEM water and wastewater treatment control systems now include the ability to communicate in this manner. The most common option is BACnet. There are many solutions available to convert between protocols in the event that the facility system is not one of the more common methods.

With the compatibility of these systems becoming less of a factor, the focus has now shifted to the physical integration of these controllers to the facility BMS and/or SCADA systems.

Since most protocols require the use of Ethernet as a means of communication with the facility systems, the availability of these connections is one of the first steps in determining the feasibility of an integration project. Along with the availability of Ethernet, security is often a determining factor. System integration professionals provide an invaluable resource to communicate with the facility engineering and IT staff to alleviate or mitigate any security concerns. These solutions often include devices that act as firewalls or providers of physical separation of the water and wastewater control system and the facility BMS and/or SCADA system. Wireless Ethernet solutions such as cellular gateways, WIFI devices, IoT devices, Ethernet radios, etc., often fall within the scope of the water and wastewater integrator as well.

When the project requires that devices be interfaced with the facilities system via physical or virtual inputs or outputs, the system integration team will determine the best method for doing so. Considerations for these types of connections can include wire type, distance, local code requirements, facility best practices, industry best practices, and integration of these connections to and from the facility BMS or SCADA system.

Clear, open, and professional conversations with the facility engineering and IT staff is paramount to the success of most, if not all, integration projects.

Building a Panel to Make the Water Treaters Life Easier

Around AquaPhoenix, we are always talking about continuous improvement and looking for ways to advance our manufacturing operations and the customer experience. We feel the same principles of continuous improvement should also be applied to the daily life of a water treater. After all, improving efficiency and reducing problems should always be on our minds.

Recently, Blaine Nagao, CWT, and President of our Equipment Division went out to the shop floor and started creatively thinking about ways water treaters can improve their daily routine. He started grabbing things from our shelves, cleared a spot on a workbench, and built his ideal panel.

Below, he outlines what you can do to a panel that will make your program work more effectively. Hopefully, these ideas make you look at your day-to-day routine and see areas for improvement, and the next time you need to build and install a new system, you can incorporate some of these job-enhancing features! How can you make a panel build serve you and your customer better?

Ask yourself these questions:

What makes your job easier?
What makes a customer’s job easier?
What makes your program work effectively?

Work Surface

We’ve all balanced our laptop or test kits on a drum that may be covered with chemical or something else and gotten it all over our stuff. That’s not what tanks were made for. Tanks and drums were made for holding chemical and for pumping out of.

Integrate a work surface onto the panel. Integrate lighting or shade if needed. How many times do you have to go to a panel out by a cooling tower and you have to put your jacket over or hold your hand over to read the screen? That’s not a failure on the controller manufacturer’s part. An LCD screen does not work well in direct sunlight. In contrast, you may have to run tests in the evening or in a dark basement. Why not put a light on your panel? It’s low cost and easy to do.

Internet Access

Receive alarms, emails and upload data from anywhere internet service is available. Wi-Fi is great because you most likely will have a laptop with you on location. Most manufacturers have routers on their controllers however, many people do use that feature as a hotspot. Create a password that only you know to eliminate the risk of an operator using all of your data.

Our routers have an extra waterproof ethernet port. You can plug your laptop right into that and access your controller. It’s nice to have a port that you can access without opening the controller.

Storage for Parts and Coupons

There is plenty of open space on a panel. Make use of that space by designing holders for all of those miscellaneous items. Save time and expense by eliminating those ‘quick’ trips to the hardware store.

Examples:

Corrosion coupons
Coupon envelopes
Spare holder screws/nuts
Corrator tips
Injection valves
Electrodes, etc.

It may seem like a lot of money upfront to keep these items stocked, but it does not compare to overnighting just one of those items or having to not feed product, or compromise performance.

Toolless Fittings

Order parts with toolless fittings. A simple union fitting on an injection valve is much better than trying to pull the tubing off of an injection valve to check to see if it’s clogged.

Consider adding a tee with a plug to your next panel build. If your rejection line clogs, you can inspect it. Valve it off and run a cleaning/rod brush on the end of a drill to clean out those clogged-up tees and lines.

If you replace your injection valve, tees, and coupons, with toolless fittings, you will eliminate the need for additional tools to service your system.

Students from South Western School District traveled to AquaPhoenix Scientific on a field trip April 8. The students began their visit by listening to a presentation on the history of the company, core values, and the career opportunities at AquaPhoenix. CEO, Frank Lecrone, a South Western alum, was on hand for students to ask questions. The students then broke up into smaller groups to tour the facility and get some hands-on experience running a titration and dissecting an owl pellet.

On the tour, students met our continuous improvement mascot, Aviator Kyle, and heard how each member of our team can offer suggestions as part of an ongoing effort to make us a better organization. They also visited our chemistry lab, kitting, and shipping lines during the tour.

Next, students learned proper sample handling and testing techniques using AquaPhoenix reagents. Our Chemists helped students run a titration on a sample of water resulting in a color-change. To ensure accurate results, students followed instructions for getting eye level with the sample vial, measuring from the bottom of the meniscus, and holding the dropper bottles vertically for uniform drops.

Our Education Department facilitated the next activity which was the ever-popular Kemtec Owl Pellet Kit. Pellets are a record of what owls have eaten so when students dissect them, they can see and identify the tiny bones from that owl’s meal and learn about the owl’s diet and place in the food web.

A final word to our student visitors: stay curious and ask lots of questions. Thanks for visiting!

As part of its community commitment and dedication to continuous improvement, AquaPhoenix officially broke ground for an expansion of its corporate headquarters. The project will add a further 90,000 square feet of warehousing and manufacturing facilities to the existing 200,000 square feet footprint.

“Through our years of incredible growth, we’ve called Hanover home, so to be able to expand our headquarters in my hometown, is important,” said Frank Lecrone, CEO. “We never imagined outgrowing the warehouse when we moved into this new space in 2017, and five years on, I don’t expect the new expansion to be vacant for long.”

“It’s been a challenge to meet the needs of our growing business with our existing space,” added Henry Bushinski, Vice President. “This investment in our corporate headquarters allows us to better plan for the future and increase efficiency. It will give us more room to grow and fix storage-related issues.”

Construction is officially underway on the warehouse expansion project for AquaPhoenix headquarters and is set for completion by the end of 2022. AquaPhoenix has once again partnered with Conewago Enterprises to complete this project. Conewago constructed our two-story office and renovated our modern, climate-controlled warehouse in 2016. We can’t wait to give you a tour.

Robert Nalley, Metal Fabricator at AquaPhoenix, sat down to discuss his approach to custom builds and may surprise you with his favorite food.

Q: What is your role at APS?

My name is Robert Nalley and my role at AquaPhoenix is welder and metal fabricator. How long have I been here? I tend to lose track. I think it’s 13 or 14 years. I think I’m going on year 14.

Q: What has been your favorite project?

I don’t have a single favorite project. What I like are the prototypes. So when somebody just gets an idea. There’s no CAD drawing; it’s a pencil sketch on a napkin at best and we start a collaboration on how to build it. And you start grabbing scraps and building a prototype and stuff like that. That’s what gets me excited. That’s where creativity comes into play and you know you get to build something that nobody else is doing, right.

Q: What has been your most embarrassing moment at APS?

So there’s actually quite a few embarrassing moments but you can roll them all into one because the building next door it has a habit of splitting people’s pants. I personally have had to run to Walmart twice to get a new pair of pants just in the past two – two and a half years. And I know it’s happened to Jeremy and a couple of the others next door as well.

Q: What advice would you give to a new hire?

The basic thing with a new hire as far as advice would be you just gotta stick it out. Stick the newness out because every new person has a huge learning curve and you’re not going to be the new guy forever. So once you just stick it out that first 60 or 90 days, you’re going to feel comfortable and right as rain.

Q: If you could learn something new, what would it be?

If I could learn to do anything…that’s kind of what I do anyway. So even when I leave here, I go home and I make stuff. I wanted to learn to make fishing rods out of carbon fiber, so I learned to make fishing rods. I wanted to learn to make my own golf clubs, so I taught myself to make my own golf clubs. that’s just kind of what I do. That’s why I love fabricating so much because if it can be built by a man, I want to build it.

Q: What is something most people don’t know about you?

Well, a lot of people know I like to smoke barbeque. What they don’t know is I like to cook pastries also. You can’t have a main course without a good dessert.

Q: Any favorite line from a movie?

I am the king of misquoting. So the one I’m most known for is, I always want to say, “alright, alright, alright” by Matthew McConaughey but it always comes out, “right on, right on, right on.”

Q: Which AquaPhoenix Core Value Stands out to you?

The core values I like the most would be safety, quality control, and customer service. And that’s because I’m a craftsman and so the quality control really hammers home to me. I like customer service because well I know a lot of our customers. I’ve been here long enough they know me by name. I used to work with a lot of our customers. And then safety; everybody goes home the same way they came into this building, right. Ten digits, ten toes and we’re all breathing. So that line, I dig it.

Q: What is your favorite food?

My favorite food. I know a lot of people are expecting me to say barbeque. It’s actually fish sticks. Every year for my birthday I get 50 fish sticks and it’s been like that since I was about yay high.

Q: Do you have pets?

I have one, most people would call a pet, I call her my daughter since I don’t have a daughter. But I have a dog, Lucy. She’s going on eight and a half years – nine years now. She’s half red heeler half lab. And I also work with a heeler rescue. On weekends, I’ll do transporting of heelers; pulling them from shelters, getting them to vets, and stuff like that.

Vengierell King, PVC Fabricator at AquaPhoenix, reminds us to always ask questions and proclaims his love for pizza in this employee spotlight interview.

Q: What is your role at APS?

My name is Vengierell King. I’ve been employed at AquaPhoenix for a year and a half. I wire, mount, build panels; anything pretty much that I need to do. What they tell me to do, I do it.

Q: What has been your favorite project?

My favorite projects at AquaPhoenix are the wiring part and the mounting part. I like the wiring because it keeps me busy and I just like the detail of it. So, I like the wiring part.

Q: What has been your most embarrassing moment at APS?

Well, the most embarrassing things probably I’ve seen here weren’t for me personally, but for somebody else. They were trying to go out the door and they got their coat caught up in the door and they almost haha it looked crazy as hell trying to get out of it. It was pretty funny to me.

Q: What advice would you give to a new hire?

If a new hire came in, I would definitely tell them to ask as many questions as they can because sometimes it can be a lot to learn initially. Just ask questions to make sure the job gets done right.

Q: What is something most people don’t know about you?

I’m a trader. I like trading Forex, cryptos online. I love that. I look at it all the time – every day to see what’s going on in the markets.

Q: Any favorite line from a movie?

My favorite line from a movie would probably be; I like westerns, Clint Eastwood, “make my day” and he pulled out the 44 on them boys. Yeah, “Make my day.”

Q: Which AquaPhoenix Core Value Stands out to you?

One of my favorite core values would be to Do the Right Thing. I feel like if you do the right thing, everything else will fall in place. Jobs will be done more efficiently. You do the right thing, everything else is right. So that’s my take on it.

Q: What is your favorite food?

My favorite food – who doesn’t like pizza, man? Pizza, pizza, pizza. Pepperoni. Pretty much everything except the crazy stuff like pineapple and spinach. I don’t like all of that.

Q: Do you have pets?

My girl has a Shih Tzu puppy and we love that thing to death. He just runs around the house. He’s so cute. Diamond, she named it Diamond. It’s her pet actually, but it’s ours.
