Compositions, kits, and methods of using the kits and compositions to determine the hardness of and/or magnesium concentration in a solution are described. The kit can include a lyophilized composition that has an absorbance at a detectable wavelength in response to the hardness of the solution and or the concentration of magnesium in the solution.

Disclosed is a reagent strip comprising test region(s) and reference region(s). The reference region(s) display a predetermined response to a range of possible concentrations of an analyte applied to the corresponding test region(s). Furthermore, the reference region(s) and the test region(s) are arranged on the reagent strip so as to facilitate analysis of a qualitative state of the analyte and optionally, calculation of a quantitative value of the analyte at point-of-collection. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing such reagent strips, first involving printing the reference region(s) and the test region(s) in a continuous and alternating series on a test strip precursor substrate. The method also involves cutting the test strip precursor substrate perpendicularly to the printed columns to obtain one or more reagent strips. Also disclosed is a method encompassed in a mobile application for determining a qualitative state and optionally calculating a quantitative state of the analyte.

This invention relates to an analyzer for measuring and monitoring the behavior of the naturally occurring calcium ion within a cooling tower's makeup water and recirculating water, adjusting a cooling water scale and corrosion inhibitor treatment dosing to manipulate the behavior of the naturally occurring calcium ion, within the cooling tower water, to prevent scaling and corrosion within a cooling tower system.
摘要:
A method of monitoring and controlling hardness in an industrial water system is described and claimed. The method requires the use of a Compound that develops a separate detectable fluorescent signal in the presence of soluble hardness. A fluorometer is used to detect this separate detectable fluorescent signal of the Compound. The separate detectable fluorescent signal is used to ascertain the amount of soluble hardness present in the industrial water system. Another aspect of the instant claimed invention is the ability to determine whether the soluble hardness is calcium or magnesium based.

摘要:
Provided are a concentration-factor measurement device and method for accurately calculating a concentration factor of circulating water, and a method for measuring a water-quality index value of the circulating water. The concentration-factor measurement device includes a light-absorbance measurement unit (1) for measuring absorbance by irradiating each of cells (12A-12C) with light, and an electrode measurement unit (2) equipped with electrodes (16, 17) that are inserted into a water sample in a container (20). For each item of water quality, the device calculates a concentration factor on the basis of a measured value measured when the water sample (W) is the circulating water, and a measured value measured when the water sample (W) is makeup water. A plurality of concentration factors are calculated on the basis of the measured values for plural items of water quality. Hence an accurate concentration factor can be obtained.
