The controls are important, especially if low-percentage excess air is projected. Provide enough capital in the estimate to include metering type combustion controls, as mentioned earlier, and modern 3-element feedwater makeup controls. Stack oxygen monitoring should also be included. 

Oxygen pitting of boiler tubes by boiler feed water due to inadequate de-aeration is also a problem, but controllable by proper maintenance of de-aerators, coupled with regular boiler feed water analysis, or, preferably, continuous dissolved-oxygen monitoring.

Supplemental measures that may be considered are a fixed oxygen monitoring system, a low pressure storage bottle alarm(s) or odorization of the stored CO2 gas. 

With arsine exposure, there may be potential severe hemolysis (the breakdown of red blood cells and the release of hemoglobin). Ensure adequate oxygenation by arterial blood measurement or pulse oxygenation monitoring. Use diuretics to maintain urinary flow. 

Selecting an approach The in situ dissolved oxygen monitors in the river near the area of the kill report normal dissolved oxygen levels. 

Set up an oxygen monitor so that the circulating water bath and water-jacketed sample chamber are at 25°C. 

To zero the instrument (zero 02 content), add 10 mg sodium dithionite and then adjust the zero knob on the oxygen monitor instrument until zero is attained on the recorder.

The so-called open type of platinum microelectrode is made by a simple platinum contact with the whole investigated medium. The results obtained with this type of electrode are not always quite reproducible, as the surface active substances can inactivate the electrode. Such an electrode can serve as an oxygen monitor measuring the decrease or increase of oxygen content in biological medium only. 

Radiometer pOz electrode, type E 5046 consists of a platinum cathode (20 /am diameter) and silver-silver chloride reference electrode placed in an electrochemical solution behind a 20 /am thick polypropylene membrane. A polarizing voltage of about 650 mV is applied. The polarographic current is about 10 " A per mm Hg of oxygen tension at 38°C. Zero current is lower than 10 A, response time less than 60 sec at 38°C 99% of full deflection. The PO2 electrode is used with the pH-Meter 27 GM or the Astrup Micro-Equipment, in conjunction with the Oxygen Monitor. The scale can be calibrated to the range 0-100 mm Hg p02. Thermostated cells provide measurements at constant temperature of volumes down to 70 /al. The small volume makes this cell useful to measure the PO2 of capillary blood. The cell is supplied with accessories for blood sampling. 

The inerted mills can range from a very simple design to a more intricate controlled loop system. The selection between an open loop system (with or without oxygen monitoring) or a closed loop system is determined by the end-user (Fig. 20).
