Hanna Instruments Silica Low Range Portable Photometer Kit

Silica, Low and High Range Portable Photometers

Significance of Use
The dissolved mineral forms of silica are found in all natural waters. Although silica is only slightly soluble in water and it can be found as ionic silica, silicates, and colloidal or suspended particles. The solubility of silica is highly dependent on pH, temperature, and pressure. Silica's presence in industrial applications, particularly in high pressure turbines, is undesirable because of scaling caused as silica precipitates out of solution at the elevated temperatures and pressures. Heating systems and reverse osmosis plants also require monitoring of silica to ensure process efficiency.
Advanced LED optical system

Innovative optical design that utilizes a reference detector and focusing lens to eliminate errors from changes in the light source and from imperfections in the glass cuvette.
LEDs have a much higher luminous efficiency, providing more light while using less power. They also produce little heat, which could otherwise affect electronic stability.
