Boiler and Cooling Water Quality Assurance (QA) Program. Submit
heating or cooling system water samples to a laboratory for analysis in accordance with
an appropriate water QA and quality control (QC) program. The purpose of QA is to
verify that applied treatment chemicals, control limits, and external treatment are
appropriate. QA is used to assist operators and managers to achieve accurate in-plant
chemical testing and control. The primary purpose for a QA/QC program is to ensure
and verify that the in-plant test results represent accurately tested and reported
concentrations of water treatment chemicals. If the QA/QC procedures are in error or
are not followed, or if the test results are not accurate, the consequences are reduced
safety, possible damage to the equipment, and wasted energy, chemicals, and water.
1-1.10.2
Other Support. Matters pertaining to military policy, requests for technical
staff visits to troubleshoot industrial water systems, training of water treatment
personnel, and general technical questions can be addressed to the appropriate military
office.
