The PowerMon Silicometer is an advanced online analyser that uses cyclic, colorimetric measurement methods to accurately determine silicon concentrations in water. With a measurement cycle of at least 10 minutes and typically 15 minutes, it can monitor up to six measurement points simultaneously, making it ideal for continuous monitoring in applications such as power plants, the semiconductor industry and ultrapure water treatment. The analyser offers high precision with an accuracy of 3% or 0.1 ppb, whichever is higher, and a detection limit of 100 ppt. It is equipped with multiple interfaces, including USB, Ethernet and optional modem options, as well as support for communication protocols such as Profibus DP and Modbus RTU. With a compact and modular design, the PowerMon Silicometer can handle up to six online measurement points in a single unit, enabling space-saving and cost-effective operation.
