The Mettler Toledo Process Analytics 2850Si Silica Analyzer

Reliable On-Line Silica and Phosphate Measurement for Power Plant Chemistry and Pure Water Treatment

Do More with Less - Small Footprint, Greater Functionality

Sometimes bigger is better, but when space is limited, such as parking in the city, being more compact can benefit. A compact car can offer the same basic functionality of getting you from A to B, but unlike the cargo van, it fits where you need it to, and it can help you gain valuable external space that can be used for different assets.  Similarly, METTLER TOLEDO Thornton's compact 2850Si silica analyzer was engineered to use space efficiently, simplifying power plant upgrades and design. The 2850Si offers greater three-in-one functionality in a smaller package to increase productivity. The 2850Si silica analyzer delivers silica and phosphate analysis in a compact and robust design for maximum operational flexibility while 3-in-1 multi-stream silica and phosphate capabilities allow you to do more than ever before with a single analyzer.

Achieve Low Total Cost of Ownership

Using 75% less reagents, a single 2850Si silica analyzer does twice the monitoring with sub-ppb silica and ppm phosphate analysis for power plant chemistry, reducing overall reagent consumption and operating costs.

Eliminate Complexity with Intuitive UI 

The 2850Si silica analyzer has a built-in M800 Transmitter. The intuitive user interface guides you through quick setup and allows you to create shortcuts. Easy configuration helps meet specific display needs and simplifies training and operation.

Simplify Your Maintenance Strategy 

Monitoring of reagent usage and tube/filter status with Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM®) enables proactive inventory and service planning. Simplify maintenance further by using METTLER TOLEDO expert services to ensure optimal performance throughout the life of the analyzer.

Optimize Productivity with Integrated Phosphate Monitoring

Boilers and steam generators use hundreds of pipes to maximize efficient heat transfer for powering turbines. Phosphate treatment is often used to maintain high performance drum-type boilers, thus making it critical to implement a phosphate analyzer, while a silica analyzer is critical to ensure high quality steam exits the boiler. The 2850Si on-line silica analyzer combines the benefits of a silica meter and a phosphate analyzer. It delivers reliable ppb silica and ppm phosphate measurements, without the need of a separate PO4 analyzer, for optimized productivity.

Ensure Water Purity with On-line Silica Monitoring

On-line silica analyzers provide a critical measurement for ensuring water purity in power cycle chemistry and in ultrapure water monitoring. The 2850Si analyzer for silica helps optimize ion exchange production and minimize silica deposition on turbines. This on-line silica meter allows you to measure at sub-ppb levels for early detection of silica breakthrough of polisher anion resin, so that contaminated water can be diverted before it reaches critical areas.

Less Downtime Required for Analyzer Maintenance

Analyzers for silica play an important role in water quality assurance and the protection of plant equipment from silica build-up. Ensuring analyzer uptime requires a silica meter with intelligent diagnostics to eliminate the inconvenience and costs associated with unexpected maintenance. The 2850Si silica analyzer with integrated phosphate analyzer tracks reagent usage and tube/filter replacement status, allowing you to plan for maintenance to maximize uptime. Gain even greater uptime assurance with added IP55 enclosure protection of the standard IP66 rated electronic components.

Demonstration of Acoustic Wave Technology Used in Industrial Level Applications

Acoustic Wave Technology from Hawk Measurement, utilizes lower frequency sound waves, and is an improved ultrasonic technique. This technology uses lower frequencies to produce higher power, with the additional enhancement by using a uniquely designed piston transducer.

The transmission of high-powered acoustic waves through the environment where the sensor resides ensures minimal losses. Any losses have much less impact than conventional ultrasonic instruments encounter due to the high-powered emitted pulse. This means more energy transfers and more energy returns as a result. Even when noise levels are high, the advanced receiver circuitry is designed to detect low-level return signals. The measured signal is temperature-compensated to give the outputs and the display maximum accuracy.

Typical Industrial Level Applications:

• Power Generation Stations: Boiler bunkers, raw coal bunkers, ash pits, fly ash silos, etc.
• Wastewater / Water Treatment: River level, wet wells, inlet screens, tanks, sumps, pump stations, water towers, dams, basin levels, chemical storage, etc.
• Mining Operations: Crushers, surge bins, ore passes, conveyor profile, blocked chute, stockpile, stackers, reclaimers, storage silos etc.
• Others Applications: Food processing, cement plants, plastics molding, grain storage, chemical processing, pulp & paper

Dissolved Oxygen Measurement for Craft Breweries

Oxygen is both friend and enemy to the brewer!

It gives yeast what it wants to breathe and survive during the fermentation process and then becomes your main antagonist after the yeast has done its job.

Any process or transfer where beer becomes exposed to oxygen post-fermentation is an opportunity for oxygen to cause staling, muting, and shelf-life reduction. One example is the packaging process. The added oxygen resulting from placing the beer in cans, kegs, or bottles can affect the final product's consistency and taste.

As a brewer, you want to concentrate on producing the best-tasting beer. Therefore, it is critical to know how oxygen affects the brewing process and how packaging can eventually impact your beer's taste. It will give you the trust you need to create award-winning flavors that customers will enjoy, no matter how long the beer sits on the shelf.

METTLER TOLEDO Process Analytics offers the most accurate and cost-effective solutions for measuring dissolved oxygen in brewing applications. These robust optical dissolved oxygen sensors are durable and require minimal maintenance.

Complimentary Black Liquor Solids Testing Program offered by Electron Machine

Pulp Mill operators, how confident are you in your black liquor solids? Do you know the solids at every critical phase of the process? Would you like to decrease the time that solids analyses take?

Typical analyses of black liquor solids are conducted on periodic bases throughout the mill. These analyses consist of many samples being taken at critical locations and analyzed in the lab. This process can take many hours or even days to collect and determine the solids content.

Because of the recent demand for continued uptime and reduced labor forces at pulp and paper mills, industrial in-line refractometer manufacturer Electron machine offers a complimentary black liquor study service for pulp mills.  

Solids Testing in Just 10 Seconds - Electron Machine Corporation's DSA E-Scan™ Black Liquor Analyzer

The service includes a 1-day on-site evaluation of the mill's current black liquor solids using Electron Machine's DSA E-Scan™, as well as any equipment and control practices used, and the identification of potential areas for improvement.

The DSA E-Scan™ is an automatic, bench-top critical angle refractometer with a digital readout and temperature-controlled sample chamber.

The DSA E-Scan™ provides solids measurements in just 10 seconds. It provides accuracy and repeatability as good as gravimetric methods. While the cost-benefit analysis of deploying the DSA E-Scan™ will vary from the paper mill to paper mill, there's no denying the magnitude of time savings the DSA E-Scan™ provides will significantly reduce cost.

Take advantage of this great offer from Electron Machine now!
