Wastewater analysis

Elementar’s TOC/TNb analyser, the enviro TOC, uses a robust, high-performance furnace, easy mode switching, real matrix separation (SALTTRAP), and a stable wide-range IR, implemented in one instrument. Paired with an autosampler and integrated chemiluminescence detection, this makes enviro TOC the ideal device for flexible and efficient TOC and TNb determination in environmental and wastewater samples.
The fully automated 60-position liquid sampler allows convenient high-throughput measurement of TOC, NPOC, TC, TIC, DOC, POC, and TNb. When analysing samples that contain particles, the integrated rinsing functions avoid carryover and contamination, and rapid mode switching allows the measurement of soil and solid waste with the same system.
TNb determination is achieved using either an electrochemical cell or an innovative, integrated chemiluminescence detector (CLD). The CLD requires no additional lab space and delivers linearly calibrated, extremely stable measurements resulting in a simple calibration and data evaluation.
The powerful furnace with temperatures of up to 1,200 °C ensures full recovery and complete oxidation of even highly stable carbon compounds such as humic or fulvic acids or particle-containing samples.
An additional highlight is the SALTTRAP matrix separation. It effectively protects the combustion tube and detector against corrosion when analysing concentrated salt solutions.
