Silica monitoring
The first in a new series of chemical analyzers from ABB, the Navigator 600 Silica analyzer uses a fourth of the reagents consumed by units from other manufacturers. Capabilities for remote management and automatic calibration and cleaning allow three months of unattended operation. Designed for the power generation industry and other large-scale steam and water dependent industrial applications, the unit provides accurate monitoring of silica concentrations from 0-5000 ppb.
