Short description about presentation:

The continuous analysis of industrial wastewater is known to be problematic - especially when the analyzer is used as a spill monitor for heavily polluted wastewater containing a high load of particles. Thus, most operators require analyzers that enable accurate TOC measurements. But do they really get these? Common analyzers suffer from clogging and blockages due to their measuring techniques using tubes and valves. They require pretreatment and/or filtration of the sample. However any pretreatment and/or filtration will affect the analyzers measuring results. Removing particles means removing carbons and, hence, it results in inaccurate measurement. So Instead of total organic carbon measurement, the analyzer determines only some organic carbon.

This all becomes especially challenging when a single TOC analyzer is used to monitor several sample streams. This multi-stream TOC system should rapidly and sequentially measure samples with different TOC levels and different compositions as well as be able to rapidly return to accurate TOC values, even after having been exposed for hours to a highly oily mixture.to cater all those challenges LAR Process analyzer uses the ultra-high temperature reactor, based on no catalytic thermal oxidation. At the temperature of 1,200°C catalysts are not necessary whereby it is physically impossible for compounds to survive. Hence, the full recovery rate for very hard to oxidize compounds like fluorocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons and amines is guaranteed. The exceptionally ingenious process analyzer QuickTOC, manufactured by LAR Process Analyzers AG Berlin, applies a novel and remarkably easy to understand design, which proves suitable and Maintenance is radically reduced because it uses a processor controlled XY-driven robot coping the manual laboratory methodology. The XY-robot sequentially positions an injection needle into a sample overflow vessel, the injection port of the 1200ºC reactor or a waste vessel, where the sample are fully oxidised. Without exception all hydrocarbon compounds are completely oxidised forming CO2. A carrier gas flows through the reactor and transfers this CO2 to a non-dispersive infrared detector (NDIR detector).
