Attachment II - Sample Testing Report - Reviewed.pdf

This is a water quality and boiler system monitoring document for the VA Hospital Marion, IN Boilers facility. The document presents water quality test results across multiple treatment stages including softeners, condensate, DA/dealkalize, and Boiler #2, with parameters measured including total hardness (0-1 ppm as CaCO₃), conductivity (501-106 μmhos), pH (7.4-10), iron content (0.04-0.08 ppm as Fe), and various alkalinity measurements. The condensate and DA/dealkalize systems show particularly low hardness and conductivity readings, indicating effective water treatment.

The inventory section documents chemical supplies currently maintained at the facility, including Boiler Sulfite (57 gallons with 234 days remaining), Boiler Alkalinity (113 gallons), DA pH & Alkalinity treatment (37 gallons with less than 124 days remaining), Boiler Polymer (87 gallons with less than 952 days remaining), and Condensate pH Treatment (42-30 gallons with less than 371 days remaining). The opening comment notes that on-site boiler system tests indicate good overall program control, with the primary adjustment needed being an increase to RLT 888 feed rate to maintain condensate pH at minimum 8.0. The note emphasizes proper sampling procedures for condensate pH testing and specifies that pH pens should not be used for condensate analysis, only for boiler feed water testing.
