Product Highlights
PowerCheck Program

Proficiency testing is often associated with accreditation and regulatory requirements. However, proficiency testing can clearly improve the overall quality of operations when used in conjunction with appropriate reference materials and a sound quality assurance program. Proving this statement, the PowerCheck program is specifically designed for cycle chemistry within power plant operations.

The PowerCheck Program specifically targets the key parameters used to monitor boiler water, feed water, and steam operations within power generating plants. The samples can be used to verify laboratory analyses and online analyzers.
