Surprising precision of SiO2 detection in Mi‑Vision G2

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.
