Abstract: A method of analyzing water in a continuous casting process and controlling chemical addition to the water may involve measuring, with a plurality of sensors, at least one characteristic of a water in a plurality of different locations of a water recycle system for the continuous casting process. The continuous casting process can have multiple spray nozzles that spray water on a metal being cast, and the water recycle system may include a gravity settling tank, a filter, and a cooling tower. A processor can determine, using the measured at least one characteristic of the water from the plurality of sensors, a composite water quality value for the water in the water recycle system. A chemical additive can be controllably added into the water recycle system based on the determine composite water quality value.
