BEAR, Del., Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- It is often asked "Is it possible to tell the difference between Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol in the field?" or others have publicly stated that it cannot be done.

That is just not true.

There is a method available to differentiate between the two glycols in the field. It was written in February of 2014 by Dick Hourigan of Richard Hourigan, Inc. It was just not widely reported.

This method uses readily available equipment that most water treaters already have. It utilizes the difference in the physical properties of specific gravity and refractive index between Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol.

This procedure is posted on the website of Richard Hourigan, Inc. and is a free download for anyone who wants to use
