Fiber Optic Sensor for Real-Time Sensing of Silica Scale Formation in Geothermal Water.

Even though other techniques, such as turbidity measurement, gamma ray, and ultrasonic, have been suggested over the years to monitor the scaling phenomena, the problem still exists, and thus creates a potential impact on our economy 29 – 31 . Over the past two decades, there has been a clear trend toward the use of fiber optics in the detection of chemicals 32 – 36 .
