<p>The OnGuard 3H analyzer allows for accurate and real-time measurement of micro levels of scale, enabling a plant operator to take corrective action before scale can negatively impact process equipment. When the 3H analyzer is used in conjunction with an OnGuard controller, automated chemical dosage control is possible, ensuring the optimal performance of the treated system and providing around the clock asset protection.</p>
<p>In commercial applications where the 3H analyzer has been paired with an OnGuard controller, customers have reported the following benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li>Improved operational performance</li>
<li>Reduced water and energy costs</li>
<li>Reduced downtime</li>
<li>Optimized chemical usage</li>
<li>Reduced operator involvement</li>
<li>Improved asset protection</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition to these benefits, the 3H analyzer comes backed by a team of dedicated Solenis field representatives and application experts.</p>
<h2>Working Principle</h2>
<p>The OnGuard 3H analyzer employs patented ultrasonic technology to detect and measure scale deposition as low as 5 microns, providing unparalleled scale measurement. Ultrasonic pulses are reflected from the clean surface of the 3H analyzer. The “clean” ultrasonic time is continuously compared to operational readings. A reduction in travel time indicates the presence of scale. The analyzer automatically corrects for variations in temperature, conductivity and pressure to ensure accurate scale measurement.</p>
