How and why water withdrawals are taken at the stations of AlES JSC

Water sampling is not just “poured into a jar and carried to the laboratory.” This is a clear and responsible process on which the operation of the entire heat supply system depends.

At CHPP-2 named after A.Zhakutov in the chemical workshop, two types of water are prepared: desalinated – for feeding boilers, and recharge – to supply to the heating network so that it is warm in homes, schools and hospitals.

Before entering the system, workers check the quality of water. Every hour, chemical workers go around the installations, monitor the equipment and take samples for analysis. In order for the equipment to work reliably, not fail and not collapse from the inside, it is important that the water is clean and meets the established standards for chemical composition. Therefore, water samples are regularly taken at the station and their chemical analysis is carried out. This helps prevent scaling and corrosion.

Why take samples? To control quality, ensure consumer safety and comply with sanitary and environmental standards.

Sampling is carried out: before cleaning – to determine the initial quality, after processing – to check the effectiveness of filters and reagents, from equipment – to identify traces of corrosion, from network water – which consumers receive.

Each sample is like a “snapshot” of the system state. If there are deviations, the mode is corrected and the analysis is repeated. The work seems simple, but the reliability of the equipment and the comfort of thousands of residents depend on it.

Every worker knows: he does not just take a sample of water – he contributes to making the city warm, in houses – light and truly comfortable.
