ABB's Navigator 600 Silica analyzer substantially cuts the costs and maintenance associated with silica monitoring in power generation and other large-scale steam and water dependent applications.
Many years of experience and innovation in the design and successful application of continuous chemical analyzers has been combined with the latest electronics and production technologies to produce the Navigator 600 Series of analyzers from ABB.
Based on colorimetric techniques, they feature a liquid handling section carefully designed to reduce routine maintenance. Utilizing powerful electronics, advanced features such as automatic calibration, continuous sample analysis and programmable multi-stream switching ensure accurate measurement of silica.
