Advancing Water Analysis: The Innovative Solutions of LECOL

Diverse Designs, Infinite Applications, Custom Solutions

Decades of Expertise and Innovation

LECOL began with the manufacturing of water analysis panels and assembling steam and water sampling analysis systems. Over time, the company ventured into developing its own range of products, including pH/ORP sensors, conductivity sensors, transmitters, and sampling system components, and sophisticated Steam & Water Analysis Systems (SWAS) tailored to diverse industrial needs.

What are pH/ORP sensors, conductivity sensors, and Steam & Water Analysis Systems and how do they work?

pH/ORP Sensors

PH/ORP sensors are devices used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution (pH) and the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of that solution. These sensors are commonly used in various industries, including water treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage production, and environmental monitoring.

The sensor contains a noble metal electrode, often platinum, and a reference electrode. When the noble metal electrode comes into contact with the solution, an electrical potential is generated based on the solution's redox (oxidation-reduction) potential. This potential is measured relative to the reference electrode, and the ORP value is calculated based on this measurement.

Conductivity Sensors

A conductivity sensor is a device used to measure the concentration of dissolved ions or salts in water or other liquids. These sensors are widely used in water treatment plants, chemical processing industries, the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and environmental monitoring.

The sensor has two electrodes—an outer electrode and an inner electrode—that are usually made of conductive materials like platinum or graphite. These electrodes are immersed in the solution being measured, and current is passed through them. This current flows through the solution and encounters resistance. The resistance will vary depending on the concentration of ions (charged particles) in the solution. Solutions with higher concentrations of ions conduct electricity better and will have lower resistance than those with lower ion concentrations.

Electronic circuitry measures the electrical resistance between the electrodes and calculates the electrical conductivity of the solution. This conductivity measurement is typically expressed in units such as Siemens per meter (S/m) or microsiemens per centimeter (µS/cm).

Steam and Water Analysis System (SWAS) 

A Steam and Water Analysis System (SWAS) is an essential component in power plants and other industrial facilities to ensure that the steam and water used in various processes meet quality standards. It is crucial for maintaining equipment efficiency, preventing corrosion, and ensuring overall safety.

Strategically placed monitoring instruments are positioned at critical points throughout the steam and water cycle in a power plant or industrial facility. These instruments may include pH/ORP sensors, conductivity sensors, dissolved oxygen analyzers, and silica analyzers, among others. The data collected are processed and interpreted by the data acquisition system to monitor trends, set alarms for out-of-spec conditions, and take corrective actions to maintain water and steam quality within optimal ranges.

Importance of Water Analyzers and Related Facilities

Water analyzers and related equipment and facilities play a pivotal role across industries for several reasons:

Process Optimization: Maintaining optimal water conditions in power plants prevents equipment damage, reducing downtime and related operational costs, and enhances energy efficiency.

Quality Control: Water quality directly impacts product quality in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and electronics manufacturing. Analyzing water parameters ensures adherence to quality standards.

Environmental Compliance: Monitoring water quality is vital for complying with environmental regulations, especially in wastewater treatment and emissions control.

Equipment Protection: Maintaining proper water quality helps prevent corrosion, scaling, and equipment damage, prolonging the lifespan of critical machinery.

Qualities to Look for in Water Analyzers and Facilities

When choosing water analyzers and related facilities, several key qualities are paramount:

Accuracy: Precise measurement capabilities are crucial for reliable data and informed decision-making.

Versatility: Solutions that can adapt to various applications and integrate seamlessly into existing systems are highly valuable.

Durability: Industrial environments demand robust equipment that can withstand harsh conditions and continuous operation.

Compliance and Certification: Ensure products meet relevant industry standards and certifications for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.

Comprehensive Support: Access to technical support, maintenance services, and training ensures optimal performance and longevity of equipment.

Taiwanese Manufacturing Excellence: Choosing a Taiwanese manufacturer such as LECOL for water analyzers and related facilities offers distinct advantages. Taiwanese manufacturers are renowned for their innovation and technological expertise, ensuring access to state-of-the-art solutions. Taiwan maintains stringent quality standards, and companies like LECOL adhere to these standards, guaranteeing high-quality products. Moreover, Taiwanese manufacturers have a strong global presence and offer competitive pricing without compromising on quality.
