1. What test are you conducting if you are going to use a Phenolphthalein
in boiler water test?
ANS:
Alkalinity is measured by titrating a water sample with a standard acid to a
designated pH and is recorded as P, M, or T alkalinity. P alkalinity is titrated
to pH 8.3, M alkalinity to pH 4.6, and T alkalinity to pH 4.5 using
phenolphthalein, methyl orange indicator, and total alkalinity indicator,
respectively.
3. At what intervals should the cooling water system be fully replaced with
new treated water?
ANS:
The frequency of totally replacing the cooling water system with new treated
water may vary depending on different aspects such as the type of cooling
system, water quality, and usage. However, it is generally recommended to
fully replace the cooling water system with new treated water every 3-5 years.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the system can also help extend the
interval between replacements. It is important to consult with a qualified
professional for specific recommendations for your cooling water system.
