Water Quality Analysis for Chemical Manufacturers

At Hach ®, we understand chemical industry monitoring technology when it comes to maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of boiler/cooling water and wastewater processes. Since 1947, we have designed, manufactured, and distributed world-class instrumentation, test kits, and reagents for testing water quality in the industrial water cycles of chemical plants. 

With Hach as your partner in the chemical manufacturing process, from water sampling and analysis to product loss monitoring and quality control, you can ensure confidence for the tough decisions. 

Hach solutions for the chemical industry:
  • Online process instrumentation and reagents
  • Laboratory equipment, reagents, and supplies
  • The most EPA-approved water analysis methods for chemical industry water compliance and chemical
    manufacturing regulations
  • Portable test kits and field instruments
  • Automatic samplers and flow meters
  • Prepared media for microbiological testing
  • Local sales and service teams

Steam Generation

We understand the importance of monitoring during
industrial pre-treatment and the steam cycle. It’s
the first line of defense against corrosion and iron
transport, scale, fouling and other factors that could
ultimately impair production efficiency or shorten
plant life. Maximize your output and protect your
equipment—from boiler and feedwater piping to
turbine blades and heat exchangers—with timely,
accurate measurement.

Cooling Processes

Boiler/cooling water leaving the condenser must
be closely monitored to guard against microbial
growth inside cooling towers. Ongoing measurement
also detects minute and fluctuating levels of
contaminants that can cause corrosion to piping,
condensers and dryers over time.

Industrial Wastewater

There are numerous benefits to monitoring key
wastewater treatment parameters: ensuring
compliance with chemical industry regulation;
avoiding permit violations; maximizing efficiency;
controlling costs; and operating at the highest
possible levels of health and safety. Best of all,
tapping into a continuous stream of accurate data
enables you to make necessary process adjustments
well before a problem arises.
