Conductivity Measurement in the Desalination of Seawater
Liquid analysis within the water & wastewater industry
Accurate Conductivity Measurement When Sensor is Coated
During the desalination of seawater process, treated seawater is heated in an evaporator with its resulting vapor collected and recondensed in the condenser. The condenser product is fresh water, while the evaporator product is removed as brine. Scaling can occur in the evaporator if the calcium sulfate concentration gets too high. Conductivity is measured in the evaporator to control scaling by triggering the removal of the heavy brine. The Rosemount™ 228 Toroidal Conductivity Sensor is a great solution for this application as it provides accurate measurements even when coated.

Product Solutions
The Rosemount 228 Toroidal Conductivity Sensor reliably measures conductivity in highly conductive electrolyte solutions up to 2 S/cm (2,000,000 µS/cm). These conductivity sensors work in dirty and corrosive applications where metal electrode sensors would otherwise fail. A robust sensor design makes the Rosemount 228 conductivity sensor ideal for measuring concentrations of acid, base and salt solutions.
