Ion Chromatography (IC) Applications for Trace Analysis

Quantification of ionic contaminants in power plant water is critical for the identification and prevention of corrosive conditions. Ion chromatography is an indispensable technique to identify the individual ionic species at sub- to low-μg/L concentrations. Reagent-Free Ion Chromatography has been adopted in most power plants and semiconductor plants due to its ease of use and improved detection limits, which makes for a good fit with the typical matrices and analytes that need to be monitored in this industry.

Fill out the form to access a selection of our most popular trace analysis methods.

Review the work of monitoring ionic contamination levels for water and steam contaminants across the typical water chemistry matrices, including:
