Power, Energy, & Environment
Precise monitoring via sensors is key for optimization and sustainability in power generation and wastewater treatment. Sensors provide crucial real-time data, enabling proactive issue identification and process integrity. Power generation relies on meticulously treated water for steam generation and cooling, where monitoring prevents damage and ensures efficiency. Our products offer solutions for monitoring diverse environmental conditions in power generation, optimizing wastewater effluent, and supporting critical power plant water systems and treatment.
How Hamilton Supports Power, Energy, and Environment Workflows
Efficient and sustainable energy generation relies on continuous monitoring of process parameters, starting at optimizing fuel processing to ensuring water quality, as well as in distribution and mitigating environmental impacts, Hamilton's technology empowers proactive maintenance and enhances overall system performance.
Energy Creation is the initial stage where energy is generated, typically through energy sources like:
- Fossil fuels
- Nuclear power
- Renewable resources
Hamilton’s sensors deliver real-time, actionable data that helps optimize combustion, reduce emissions, and extend equipment life, especially in fossil fuel plants and nuclear cooling systems.
By precisely measuring water chemistry parameters like pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen, our sensors help to prevent corrosion in both fossil fuel-fired steam boilers and nuclear reactor coolant systems.
Throughout this process, there are various impacts on the environment:
- Greenhouse gas emissions
- Climate change
- Ecosystem impact

How Sensor Technology Helps Industries Ensure Water Quality
pH Monitoring
Regulations often specify acceptable pH ranges for water discharge to prevent corrosion in natural water bodies and ensure the survival of aquatic life. Hamilton’s pH sensors provide continuous, real-time measurements, allowing industries to neutralize acidic or alkaline effluents before release into a public water system, ensuring compliance and preventing environmental damage.
Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
Monitoring dissolved oxygen levels is crucial for water circuits, as high levels can promote corrosion, while low levels can create conditions conducive to anaerobic microbial growth.
Conductivity
Monitor the total dissolved solids in the wastewater to ensure efficient treatment processes and compliance with discharge standards.
Turbidity
Turbidity sensors measure suspended solids and water clarity, key indicators of water quality and ecosystem health. Hamilton’s technology provides the reliable data to maintain compliance and protect aquatic life and habitat.
