The system can be configured to function in numerous applications in the following industry sectors:

• Measurement in pure and ultrapure water, power plants, semiconductor industry, pharmaceutical
• Drinking water
• Industrial processes (chemistry, paper mills, sugar refineries, etc.)

Principle of operation (pH calculation)

The Polymetron 9523 analyzer adheres to the recommendations contained in the guidelines for feedwaters, boiler water and steam quality for power and industrial plants.
The pH calculations can only be applied under the following strict chemical conditions:
• The sample must only contain an alkaline agent (ammonia, sodium hydroxide or ethanolamine)
• Any impurity is principally NaCl (sodium chloride)
• The concentration of impurity must be negligible in comparison to the alkaline agent
Control of conductivity values
Control of the minimum and maximum conductivity values depends upon the volatile conditioner. These values are illustrated in the following two tables.
Note: AVT (All Volatile Treatment) - Conditioning concept where only volatile alkalizing agents are used; mainly ammonia.
NH3 Conditioner:
AVT
pH 7 - 10.0
Conductivity C1 (μS/cm) 2.8 - 28
Acid conductivity C2 (μS/cm) < 0.5
NaOH Conditioner:
AVT
pH 7 - 10.7
Conductivity C1 (μS/cm) 2.5 - 125
Acid conductivity C2 (μS/cm) < 100

Measurement of pH by differential conductivity

Measurement of pH in environments of low conductivity using the standard potentiometric method (glass electrode + reference) is extremely delicate and not very accurate because it is proportional to the concentration logarithm. It also requires a more frequent calibration to compensate for variations in the measurement chain (junction potential, degradation of the glass membrane).
On the other hand, measurement of conductivity in these environments is a lot more reliable and more accurate as it is directly proportional to the concentration in impurity, and in addition requires little or no maintenance. Therefore, given the relationship between the pH and conductivity of a product, the conductivity measurement can be used to determine a precise pH.
If the product contains impurities (generally in the form of salts), this calculation cannot be applied. The principle is then to transform the salt into acid by passing it through a cationic resin and, given the relationship of the conductivity between the acid and the corresponding salt (always around 3), to determine the conductivity originating only from the conditioner:
ΔC = Conductivity before resin (C1) – Conductivity after resin (C2) / A
and
ph = f(ΔC)
Note: The calculated pH is the pH of the sample at the analyzer inlet (channel 1). The analyzer does not calculate the pH downstream of the resin cartridge.

Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Move exposed person to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Skin contact: Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Eye contact: Get medical attention immediately. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous.
Store between the following temperatures: -20 to 40 °C (-4 to 104 °F). Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
Take precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges. Do not allow to dry out.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Safety eye wear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. Recommended: safety glasses with side­shields.
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. After contamination with product change the gloves immediately and dispose of them according to relevant national and local regulations.
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
