We have amorphous silica levels in our well water ranging from 35-90 ppm (based on LaMotte wet chemistry silicon test kits) as make-up water to a cooling tower. Is there a real-time measurement method for silica, or a correlation to water conductivity, so we don't add more multipolymer than we need to control scaling? How would your software help us better understand this problem or the multipolymer application levels?
