The DATS-IV Fouling Monitor utilizes the latest in microprocessor technology to simulate condenser / heat exchanger environment on a fluid side stream through a controlled tube section. By matching the tube material, heat flux, and flow rates to an actual process, the DATS-IV is able to provide vital information regarding performance degradation, and economic loss due to fouling. Calibrated temperature probes within the DATS heat exchanger accurately measure both fluid and heater temperatures, and is used along with power input to calculate the heat transfer. All heat transfer data is then provided as analog output signals to tie in with customer equipment.

Rohrback Cosasco Systems and Bridger Scientific have collaborated to produce the new Rohrback Cosasco Systems CorrDATS integrated corrosion and deposit monitoring system. The main parameters required for control of a water treatment program have been combined into this integrated data logging system which may be interrogated with a local portable or desktop PC, or remotely via modem over a telephone line. In the actual field environment of water treatment, it is necessary to maintain the proper balance between low pH (more acidic) which increases corrosion, and high pH (more alkaline) which increases scaling tendency. Consequently, to achieve this balance, the operator must control pH, conductivity, corrosion, scaling and deposition. The CorrDATS unit was developed to specifically blend comprehensive, sophisticated yet field-proven technologies into an economical package.
