Online boron measurement in desalination plants

The control of boron concentration in drinking water is essential for public health and agriculture. According to the World Health Organization, the recommended limit for boron in drinking water is 2.4 mg/L, although some standards, such as those of the European Union, require levels below 1 mg/L. Maintaining these adequate levels is especially important in desalination plants, where boron must be carefully measured and managed to avoid damage to boron-sensitive crops. In addition, boron has benefits for plants, improving their growth, development and resistance to adverse conditions. Therefore, the use of online analyzers, such as Instran®, to monitor boron concentration is a valuable practice to ensure water quality and ecosystem health.
