Poor alkalinity monitoring and control can lead to various problems in biological systems. Alkalinity, which is the measurement of Sodium Carbonate and Bicarbonate in solution, plays a crucial role in maintaining pH stability. When alkalinity is properly maintained, the pH remains steady. However, if alkalinity levels are too low, the system pH can drop to dangerous levels, resulting in the death of bacteria responsible for removing harmful substances like H2S from the gas stream. This can lead to the accumulation of dead biomass and excessive foaming, requiring a complete system cleanout. On the other hand, high alkalinity can also pose significant issues, such as the potential for plugging in packing media, small lines and piping, as well as spray nozzles. Proper monitoring and control of alkalinity are therefore vital to ensure the smooth operation of industrial processes. Call Trident today and let us help you get your Alkalinity under control.
