The 5500sc Silica Analyzer is an online colorimetric analyzer for continuous monitoring of silica (as SiO2) in water systems. This 4-channel instrument offers long unattended operation with low reagent consumption, fast response times, and built-in diagnostics to reduce maintenance and downtime. The unit ships with a reagent set for up to 90 days, an installation kit, and user manuals.
- Provides four simultaneous channels for multi-point monitoring.
- Measures 0-5,000 μg/L as SiO2 with a 0.5 μg/L detection limit.
- Offers high accuracy: ±1% or ±1 μg/L (0-500 μg/L), ±5% (500-5,000 μg/L).
- Requires only 2 L of each reagent for approximately 90 days of operation.
- Typical response time of about 9.5 minutes at 25 °C.
- Uses colorimetric measurement with sealed reagent bottles for clean reagent changes.
- Includes predictive diagnostics with visible warnings to help avoid unplanned downtime.
