7. Endura pH – TBX587 Fastest Temperature Response
Tough made easySM
pH is a temperature compensated reading
Faster temperature response equals more accurate pH readings when process temperature changes
TBX587 has the temperature element in the tip of the glass electrode for the fastest response in the industry!

12. Endura pH – TBX587 Petroleum Refining Applications
Tough made easySM
Crude Distillation Water
Water condensed from steam in distillation will have organics and be acidic – TBX587 resistance to plugging ideal for this application
Scrubbers
Sour gas must be treated which is high in sulfides – TBX587 resistance to chemical poisoning ideal for this application
Waste Water
Residual oils and organics must be treated throughout the plant – TBX587 resistance to plugging & poisoning ideal for these applications
