usually in power plant pH and Conductivity is main parameter to predict condition in BTG, can you provide ORP values for water sample in Power plant? in all the type of dosing system i.e. AVT(O), AVT(R), Oxygenated etc.
Whether the measurement is ORP, corrosion potential, or ECP, the basic measurement principle is the same. Chemical reactions which involve the transfer of electrons between reactants are known as oxidation/reduction, or redox, reactions.A species with lesser affinity for electrons in solution will lose electrons, increasing its electrical ORP can be used at various points within the water/steam cycle to establish a baseline for determining the potential for corrosion in the system stands for Oxidation-Reduction Potential. ... The best definition I can give is that “ORP is a measure of the cleanliness of the water & its ability to break down contaminants”. It has a range of –2,000 to + 2,000 and units are in “mV” (millivolts).In the world that surrounds us, we do not see it, but there is a continuous exchange of electrons that takes place between substances in the air, in the earth, in water, and in our bodies. This phenomenon is known as ion exchange.In an effort to reach a state of stability, substances that are lacking electrons are desperately seeking out electrons wherever they can: these substances are referred to as oxidizing agents. On the contrary, substances which have a surplus of electrons are capable of donating their extra electrons: these substances are referred to as reducing agents, or anti-oxidizing agents.Oxidation-reduction potential, or ORP, is a measurement that indicates the degree to which a substance is capable of oxidizing or reducing another substance. ORP is measured in millivolts (mv) using an ORP meter.
A positive ORP reading indicates that a substance is an oxidizing agent. The higher the reading, the more oxidizing it is. As such, a substance with an ORP reading of +400 mv is 4 times more oxidizing than a substance with an ORP reading of +100 mv.
A negative ORP reading indicates that a substance is a reducing agent. The lower the reading, the more anti-oxidizing it is. As such, a substance with an ORP reading of -400 mv is 4 times more anti-oxidizing than a substance with an ORP reading of -100 mv. Most types of water, including tap water and bottled water, are oxidizing agents as their ORP value is positive.Alkaline ionized water is an anti-oxidizing agent, as it has a negative ORP value and it is able to donate extra electrons to neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals on the body. Most other types of water are oxidizing agents as their ORP is positive.
