Boron concentration on-line: Differential absorbance photometry automatically detects the color development stabilization within an optimum time interval while eliminating the background sample color that could interfere with the measurement. Both features ensure a robust system and accurate results for process control.
The limit of boron concentration of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant permeate is 0.5 mg/L.
In order to monitor Boron in an desalination plant in Australia we installed three Metrohm Process Colorimeters after careful planning and testing. With this system the boron concentration can be analysed on-line at real-time and immediate responses can be made whenever the threshold value is exceeded.
We have compiled a comprehensive report on monitoring Boron levels in desalination plants, which you can request using the form below or by calling Metrohm Australia.
