Report on the Power Cycle Instrumentation Seminar (PCIS) Germany 2025

ABSTRACT

For the second time, the Power Cycle Instrumentation Seminar (PCIS) series made a stop in Germany. The PCIS Germany 2025 in Aachen was held under the patronage of PPCHEM AG, with financial sponsorship from SWAN Analytical Instruments and REICON Wärmetechnik und Wasserchemie Leipzig GmbH.

The PCIS series focuses on the analytical methods, the sampling points, and the critical issues for each parameter. The emphasis lies on spreading knowledge of cycle chemistry and an understanding of analytical instruments. The seminar provides a well-proven mixture of theoretical background information on cycle chemistry, sampling, and monitoring as well as a deeper look into analytical methods and critical issues for each parameter, concerning operation, verification, and calibration.

This report summarizes the two days of the PCIS Germany 2025.
