The
need for pH
- Agriculture/Hydroponics
:
Proper soil pH ensures crop yield and growth.
- Boiler/Cooling
Towers : Maintaining
optimum pH level in boilers of thermal power
plants to avoid corrosion and improve
energy/power efficiency.
- Chemistry
:
pH measurement is essential for control
of chemical reactions, in the course of
production of chemical products, be it
fertilizers, plastics, electronic industrial
materials such as semiconductors, glass or
cements.
- Sewage
Treatment : Successful treatment
depends on pH control throughout the process.
- Industrial
Process : Petrochemical, paper and
pulp, food and beverage, refining, power
generation, pharmaceutical, semiconductor,
automotive, steel and metal processing; all
require pH measurement and control for product
quality and efficiency.
- Environmental
:
pH monitoring and control are critical
to the continuation and quality of all plant and
animal life. Local government enforces
restrictions of untreated waste water being
discharged and requires each factory to treat its
waste water to conform to designated water
quality standards..
- Research
& Development : Medical and industrial laboratories
involved in all aspects of research and
development require pH measurement.
- Paper
& Pulp :
pH is
controlled in the process of digestion,
bleaching, creating of pulp to manufacture of
finished paper material products.
- Oil
Refining : pH measurement in the
desulfurization process.
- Electroplating
: Control of pH is applied to
plating, etching of metal surfaces and
manufacture of batteries.
- Fish/Shrimp
Farming :
Good pH balance of water
quality ensures survival and growth of cultured
fishes/shrimp. Determining pH is vital when
selecting location for these field farming so as
to avoid abnormality in fishing grounds and
hatcheries.
- Food &
Beverage Manufacturing : Monitoring of pH is
important as the action of enzymes is affected by
pH during production of food like bread, liquor,
beer, cheese and milk products.
- Printing : Adjustment of pH affects
dryness of ink, colour tone and colour definition
of photographic printing/offset printing.
- Beauty
Salons : For achieving beautiful
hair styles, pH is regulated in cold-waving
liquid according to hair type and wave.
Maintaining balanced pH of skin is essential for
person's well-being.
- Swimming
Pools : Control of pH and
residual chlorine concentration are important
parameters to disinfect any E-Coli bacteria and
prevent skin irritation.
- Drinking
Water : Rigid purification
standards depend upon pH measurement and control.
- Textiles/Dyeing
: Proper
pH level is maintained in process of dyeing as
permanence and processing speed depend on the pH
of dye bath.
