SHANGHAI, China, Feb. 12 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Water used for cooling systems and various processes in the power industry, steel mills and petrochemical plants must be properly treated to prevent equipment fouling and corrosion. Ashland (Nanjing) Chemical Company (ANCC) is literally bringing better water treatment technologies to manufacturing sites in China, by introducing a new mobile water monitoring system. ANCC is a business unit of Drew Industrial, a business group of Ashland Water Technologies, a division of Ashland Inc. (NYSE: ASH).

Housed inside a truck, ANCC’s new mobile PULSE(TM) II water fouling monitor technology connects to a manufacturer’s cooling water system and evaluates equipment fouling potential and other key performance indicators.

"With this technology we can better optimize water treatment programs for our customers," said Zhou Qing, general manager, ANCC. "The PULSE II analyzer truck is also equipped with additional monitoring equipment to provide customers with other valuable water quality information. Because quality water is scarce and becoming more expensive in China, customers using the PULSE II technology can improve water conservation and reduce cost."
