The K1100 optical sensor is the first to use luminescent measurement technology to measure low level oxygen in power plants making it virtually maintenance free.

There are several hundred peaking power plants in the US equipped with Pratt & Whitney FT8 turbines. Operators of these plants face an aggravating inability to diagnose and correct system issues due to the tightly closed architecture of the original control system. Facility owners have long been interested in a more-open system that would enable

The proven technology you have come to expect from Hach just got better. Built with the future of water analysis in mind, the DR3900 Spectrophotometer will give consistently accurate results in a simpler testing format.

Hach has improved the Spectrophotometer! Guided procedures, spin technology, and RFID technology increases ease and accuracy. Watch below to see these improvements in action!

Have you thought about how you would spend your Hach Holiday Product Bonus? How about a new portable dissolved oxygen analyzer for your Power Plant?

With Luminescent Dissolved Oxygen technology integrated into the ORBISPHERE 3100, this analyzer is guaranteed to improve process efficiency and provide accurate dissolved oxygen measurements.

Learn how the Hach 9523sc Cationic Conductivity Analyzer provides long-term, reliable and maintenance-free pH systems to compliment and strengthen your current pH system.

What happens when coal plants disappear faster than they can be replaced? This webinar will put the focus squarely on grid stability and how a lack of planning—and even just bad timing—can create headaches for utilities. It will also talk solutions including some new options for preserving reliability in the post-coal era.

The holidays are starting early at Hach and that means it’s time to start making your wishlist!

A comparison of amperometric and optical dissolved oxygen sensors in power and industrial water applications at low oxygen levels.

Alarm Management can be a challenging topic, there are many factors that can influence the operators in negative ways: Long standing alarms can distract the operators unnecessarily, alarms could be describing normal processes that require no action from the operator, and having a serious alarm hiding in a large amount of low level alarms, are

As the old saying goes, it’s difficult to make predictions, especially about the future. And hindsight shows forecasts about the solar market are tricky. Frost & Sullivan, a large market research firm, recently put out a report on the global solar PV market from 2014 to 2020 that lined up almost eerily with a late-2013 report from Navigant Research, a cleantech market research firm.

Our Hach dissolved oxygen instruments are equipped with a measuring LED that emits a pulse of blue light and a photo diode as a light detector. The instruments are also equipped with a sensitive luminescent coated spot that is exposed to the sample. Click here to learn how luminescent dissolved oxygen works!

Having a coal fired generation plant come into MATS compliance can be a daunting and expensive undertaking. Retrofits may be so expensive that decommissioning is preferred. Thanks to natural gas becoming plentiful and inexpensive both recently and for the foreseeable future, another option is now available; conversion.

Watch as Hach Chemist, Luke, shares some helpful tips for performing our Ultra Low Range Total Iron Method.

The intense pressure and temperature of a steam cycle makes corrosion very likely if water chemistry is not monitored closely, resulting in unexpected downtime.

Hydro-governors have already made an impact in the water industry, but how are they moving forward?
What is a hydro-governor?
Hydro-governor is just a big word for a speed controller. Its typical application is to prime movers such as the steam engine, turbine, diesel engine and many other types of prime movers. To understand the basics of
