BioTector Analytical Systems Ltd. (Ireland) manufactures an innovative range of on-line liquid analyzers, which apply a totally new approach to eliminating the many problems associated with on-line TOC, TN and TP measurement.

The BioTector is designed to analyze everything – from clean water to the most corrosive & polluted samples, with no filtering requirements. It’s patented oxidation method is what makes the BioTector unique. This oxidation process, known as Two Stage Advanced Oxidation (TSAO) is extremely aggressive and is therefore totally self-cleaning (Hydroxyl Radicals at an oxidation potential of 2.8 is only below fluorine). The reaction is unaffected by Chlorides (salts) up to 30% and the system can handle oils, fats and calcium up to 12.5%. Hence the BioTector is deemed to be the most reliable on-line liquid analyzer on the market, with 6 month service intervals and greater than 99.7% uptime with an accuracy of +/- 3%. It is designed so that there is no drift and therefore calibration is not required for the correct operation of the system.   The BioTector makes direct measurements without dilution in 6.5 minutes (TOC) and on a wide variety of ranges from 0-5mg c/l all the way up to 100,000mg c/l. Up to 86,000 samples per year can be successfully measured by the BioTector and the analyzers can be calibrated to read TOC, TN, NO3, TKN, TP, COD, BOD, TC, TIC and VOC.   There are now over 500 BioTector units installed worldwide, many of which are operating in applications that would have been impossible with conventional technologies.
