How often are you monitoring? Continuously or periodic - (as in daily?) This may help determine which approach to take and the budget required. Our facility measures Boron daily - or as needed, if limits are of concern. However, the source water content varies negligibly and is rather consistent in quality. The primary influence on the boron content is water temperature (higher temperature = decreased boron rejection; at which point, we modify pH to enhance boron rejection.) We take grab samples daily and process them on a bench top instrument (Hach) with about a 45 mnute incubation time - coupled with laboratory verification on regular basis.
