The DIGOX 602 silica model silica analyzer from Dr. Thiedig/ALUTAL offers several advantages over other analyzers available on the market. Below are the main points that highlight the DIGOX 602 silica:
High Precision and Sensitivity
ALUTAL – DIGOX 602 silica: Utilizes advanced methodology that provides high precision and sensitivity in detecting silica, capable of measuring concentrations at ultra-low levels with high repeatability and reliability, starting from 0.1 ppb.
Other Manufacturers: One of the challenges customers encounter with other silica analyzers is the use of peristaltic pumps, which increases the consumption of consumables and causes cross-contamination. Many of them measure silica starting from 0.5 ppb or even 1 ppb, resulting in higher OPEX and sometimes inefficient process control.
Although some other silica analyzers on the market are considered accurate, the DIGOX 602 silica from Dr. Thiedig/ALUTAL is recognized by numerous customers for its ability to provide consistent results in critical applications, such as pure and ultrapure water production.
Fast Response Time
ALUTAL – DIGOX 602 silica: Designed to offer an extremely fast response time, crucial for industrial processes where quick detection of silica variations can prevent damage and improve operational efficiency. It features automatic temperature control in its photometer, ensuring proper reactions and eliminating errors in silica analysis/detection, including false readings when phosphate is present in the treated water.
Other Manufacturers: May have similar response times, but the lack of temperature control in the photometer affects the repeatability and reliability of readings and diagnostics in operation.
Ease of Maintenance
ALUTAL – DIGOX 602 silica: Equipped with features that facilitate maintenance, including automatic diagnostics and easy access to internal components, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. It has a 100% automatic zero calibration with an integrated ion exchanger, which eliminates contamination and increases accuracy.
Other Manufacturers: Require more complex and time-consuming maintenance procedures, such as changing peristaltic pumps and/or the need for positive pressure inside the cabinet for reagent dosing. The DIGOX 602 silica uses microdosing pumps, ensuring reliable reagent dosing and avoiding unnecessary OPEX expenses.
Integration and Automation
ALUTAL – DIGOX 602 silica: Offers wide compatibility with industrial automation and control systems, facilitating integration with SCADA and DCS systems. Includes 4/20 mA + Hart communication (standard in all analyzers) and optional Profibus DP communication.
Other Manufacturers: May require additional interfaces or customizations to achieve the same level of integration, with Hart protocols often charged separately, increasing costs.
Cost-Effectiveness
ALUTAL – DIGOX 602 silica: Despite its high performance, it offers excellent cost-effectiveness due to its durability and low long-term operational costs, balancing CAPEX and OPEX.
Other Manufacturers: May have comparable initial costs (CAPEX), but when calculating OPEX (operational cost for two years of operation), other analyzers on the market have significantly higher costs than the DIGOX 602 silica, exclusively distributed by ALUTAL.
The DIGOX 602 silica tends to provide greater savings over time due to its efficiency and lower maintenance requirements.
Technical Support and Training
ALUTAL – DIGOX 602 silica: ALUTAL, in partnership with Dr. Thiedig (celebrating 5 years in 2024), offers specialized technical support and comprehensive training programs, ensuring operators can maximize analyzer performance.
Other Manufacturers: Also provide support, but often have slow response times. It’s worth emphasizing that ALUTAL is frequently praised for the quality and accessibility of its customer support.
We also have two training academies (SP/RJ) available for client training (general/specific).
Conclusion
The DIGOX 602 silica analyzer model from Dr. Thiedig/ALUTAL stands out for its precision, speed, ease of maintenance, integration with automation systems, robustness, cost-effectiveness, and high-quality technical support. These differentiators make the DIGOX 602 silica a superior choice for many critical industrial applications compared to analyzers from other manufacturers.
