Case Studies
InstantMPY analyzers are working in water systems across the country. Here is how utilities are using them.
Featured stories
Southeast: cutting chemical costs against a target.
A utility used its analyzer to optimize phosphate feed rate and reduce chemical costs, holding a targeted corrosion rate of 3 mpy.
Great Lakes: building the historical record.
A surface water plant collects finished water corrosion rate data on phosphate treated water, building a database of corrosion rates over time.
West Coast: taming mixed sources.
A well water facility with both corrosive and scale forming sources combines InstantMPY analyzers with pipe loop and coupon studies to optimize corrosion control.
Midwest: pH tuned to the season.
A surface water plant monitors corrosion rates to adjust pH to optimal levels as water quality shifts through the year.
Northeast: verifying supplier changes.
A utility measures corrosion rates when changing coagulants and phosphate suppliers, confirming product performance before committing.
Mid-Atlantic: proving inhibitor performance.
A surface water utility measured corrosion inhibitor performance during phosphate startup.
