Silica Water Treatment

Silica presents few problems in potable water treatment and supply, but can, if left unchecked form hard deposits on turbine blades in high pressure steam generation plant. Silica water treatment monitoring and control here is essential for uninterupted operation. Kittiwake's comparator and photometer test kits for silica provide the high sensitivity (ppb) required for silica water treatment monitoring.

The table below gives a chart of recommended tests.
