In this chapter you will see something we never expected: Measuring silicic acid without a silicometer!
The scepticism of the experts towards this measurement of SiO2 breakthrough is quite justified. Therefore, we always speak cautiously of the breakthrough of weak acids.
The development of Mi‑Vision-Generation 2 was directed towards optimising SiO2 detection and resulted in an extremely good signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement. In generation 3, a very small cross-sensitivity to organic acids was reduced. The adjacent figure shows an example of a loading curve with this G2 SiO2 measurement.
The achieved signal-to-noise ratio of the green Mi‑Vision-signal is almost in the range of the silicometer and in any case in the necessary range for a desalination line. The great result was well worth a patent application, which has already been granted.
