Nitrite LR Powder Pillows

Overview

Nitrite LR powder pillows measure nitrite, which means two different things depending on where you stand. In a closed heating circuit it is a dosed corrosion inhibitor to be held above a minimum; in drinking water or a wastewater process it is an intermediate that signals incomplete nitrification.

Key features

• Serves both nitrite inhibitor control and nitrification monitoring
• Pre-measured sachets, so nothing has to be weighed out on the bench
• Sealed individually, which keeps the reagent dry and the dose consistent
• Supplied in packs of 50 and 100 powder pillows, each with its own item code

Frequently asked questions

Why does nitrite appear in a wastewater plant?
Nitrite is the halfway house between ammonia and nitrate. A figure that will not come down usually means nitrification is incomplete, often through low oxygen or a shortage of alkalinity.

Why use powder pillows instead of tablets?
A pillow is a pre-measured dose in a sealed sachet, so there is nothing to weigh out and no part-used tablet strip. Where a method is only offered in powder form, the pillow is what the instrument expects.

How should powder pillows be stored?
Keep them cool and dry in their sealed sachets, work through the oldest box first, and open a pillow only at the moment you dose the sample.
