Next generation silica analyser

METTLER TOLEDO Thornton announced the launch of its 2850Si silica analyser, designed to maximise uptime and achieve superior performance for both silica and phosphate monitoring. 

Wreaking havoc on product quality, equipment efficiency and maintenance planning, silica monitoring is vital for the measurement and control of contamination in pure and ultrapure waters used in industries such as power generation and microelectronics. 

Phosphate treatment, often deployed within power plant drum-type boilers, plays two important roles – maintaining proper alkalinity and controlling scale build-up for effective blowdown and protection against corrosion.

With its innovative measurement technique, a single 2850Si silica analyser does twice the monitoring with combined silica and phosphate analysis for power plant chemistry, significantly reducing overall reagent consumption and operating costs. 

The 2850Si’s compact size, driven by the need for 75 percent less reagent volume compared to typical silica analysers, allows additional measurements to be installed – optimising valuable water panel space. 

Monitoring of reagent usage and tube/filter status with METTLER TOLEDO’s Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM®) technology enables proactive inventory and service planning. Maintenance can be further simplified using METTLER TOLEDO service facilities to ensure optimal performance throughout the life of the analyser.

To ensure ease of operation, the built-in M800 Transmitter, with its intuitive touchscreen user interface, meets individual plant display needs from initial configuration and training to full operation and troubleshooting. 

Unprecedented challenges in the power and microelectronics industries require breakthrough technology for analytics that offer more value to users. With the METTLER TOLEDO 2850Si silica analyser, plant personnel can save space, get more measurements and lower the budget for maintenance and consumables. 

“The quality of water is a critical factor when it comes to production within the power and microelectronics industries. The importance of monitoring the right chemicals at the right time and under budget to meet increasingly aggressive targets cannot be understated,” says Matt Knott, Product Manager at METTLER TOLEDO Thornton. “The 2850Si silica analyser exceeds today’s standards with multi-stream sampling, lower reagent consumption, predictive diagnostics and a phosphate measurement all within a compact design adding operational flexibility while saving personnel resources and valuable panel space for water analytics.”
