DAILY CONTROL TESTS

Steam Ships (32-60 Bar MPSG) Control and Dosage Chart Standard Treatment with DREWPLEX OX Corrosion Inhibitor
Read MSDS before running these tests. Before testing, samples must be cooled to 25C (77F) by collecting through a sample
cooler for safety and to prevent flashing which concentrates the sample.
If the sample is colored or turbid, filter before testing. If the sample remains cloudy after the first filtering, the sample should be

refiltered through the same filter paper since the filter becomes more retentive on the second filtration.

3. Immediately snap the tip of the ampoule by pressing the ampoule against the side of the
sample cup. The sample will fill the ampoule and begin to mix with the reagent, leaving a
small bubble to facilitate the mixing (Fig. 3).
4. Remove the ampoule from the cup. Mix the contents of the ampoule by inverting it several

5. Wipe all liquid from the exterior of the ampoule and WAIT EXACTLY 10 MINUTES for full
color development (Fig. 5).

6. Place the DREWPLEX OX corrosion inhibitor ampoule, flat end downward into center tube
of comparator. Direct the comparator toward a source of bright white light while viewing from
bottom. Hold comparator in a nearly horizontal position and rotate it until the color standard
below the DREWPLEX OX corrosion inhibitor ampoule shows the closest match (Fig. 6).
7. Record the result and adjust dosage as necessary.

PHOSPHATE Filter sample before running test

1. Fill sample cup to the 25-ml mark with cooled, filtered boiler water (Fig. 1).
2. Place phosphate VACU-VIALS1 ampoule in sample cup. Snap tip by pressing ampoule
against side of the cup. Ampoule will fill, leaving a small bubble to facilitate mixing (Fig. 2).
3. Mix the contents by inverting the ampoule, allowing the bubble to travel from end to end.
Wipe all liquid from the exterior. WAIT 5 MINUTES (Fig. 3).
4. Press ON. When the display shows ---, the photometer is ready (Fig. 4).
5. Zero photometer by inserting VACU-VIALS blank ampoule into cell compartment, aligning
vertical line on ampoule with water droplet on photometer. Cover ampoule with light shield.
Press ZERO button. Display will show S1P momentarily, then it will read -0.0- (Fig. 5).
6. After the 5 minute wait required in step 3, insert the phosphate VACU-VIALS ampoule with
proper cell alignment into the cell compartment. Cover the ampoule with the light shield.
Press the READ button. The meter will show S1P momentarily, then it will display the test
result in ppm ortho phosphate as PO4. Record the result and adjust dosage as necessary.

Blowdown should be carried out as per boiler manufacturers instructions. Blowdown is necessary to reduce
dissolved and suspended solids. If suspended solids are noticed in boiler water samples, blowdown regardless
of conductivity test results. Increase flash bottom blowdown for the first 4-6 months after treatment startup to
remove any transported oxides coming back from the steam system.
