AppliTOC® On-line Total Organic Carbon & Carbon Compounds

A P P L I E D T E C H N O L O G Y . S I N C E 1 9 8 5 .

An enhanced analyzer standard in on-line applications

Total Organic Carbon analysis has been classified

as a non-specific analysis method to determine the

organic compounds in water. Its inherent accuracy

and speed, combined with a low cost of ownership

make it a preferred (standard) analysis method in

many countries and industries.

AppliTek has taken this concept a step further. The

AppliTOC® combines hardware performance with

software flexibility. The on-line analyzer has been

field-tested for many years in a wide range of

applications and environments.

AppliTOC® On-line Analyzer

A Versatile Field-proven Analysis Tool for Industry and Environment

A platform for analysis of several carbon compounds

• Total Organic Carbon

• Total Inorganic Carbon

• Total Carbon

What’s in a name: the AppliTOC® on-line

analyzer was initially designed for measuring Total

Organic Carbon but can be tailored to analyze

specific Carbon parameters. Whatever the choice

of parameter, an up-time of minimum 98% is

guaranteed when combined with appropriate

sample preconditioning systems, making it ideal for

monitoring and control.

Chemical Industry

A typical on-line application of Total Organic Carbon

is the continuous monitoring of organic spills in

chemical and petrochemical production plants.

Depending on the application, a TOC or TC analysis

shall be performed in order to detect and control

possible leakage.

Surface Waters

Total Organic Carbon can also replace conventional

parameters such as COD for assessing surface

waters. Upon your request, the process analyzer

may be integrated in an EcoWatch® river

monitoring station, with all necessary utilities.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Low-level Total Organic Carbon has showed its

qualities for monitoring water-soluble residues in

Cleaning Validation applications. This has several

advantages over “specific” methods: it is less difficult

to implement and easier to validate than

chromatographic techniques.

Water Services Industry

Contamination levels in production of demineralized

water, due to ineffic ient purification or organic

fouling, can equally be quantified by means of low-

level TOC analysis. In this type of application, a lot

of care is devoted to correct calibration.

Versatile; Adjective. Capable of Doing Many Things Competently.

From concept to process analyzer

The AppliTOC® technology is the well established

UV persulphate method assuring full compliance with

Standard Method 5310C, EN1484 and EPA 415.1.

The sample flows continuously into the analyzer and

is acidified to remove all the inorganic carbon present

in the sample. The inorganic carbon removal is

performed in the scrubber unit. The radiation from the

UV reactor and the oxidizing reagent completely

oxidize the organic carbon to CO2. This gas will be

transported by the mass flow controlled instrument air

to the liquid / gas separator. The gas is dried prior to

entering the NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) detector.

The CO2 content is directly related to the total amount

of organic carbon present in the sample.

Specific analyzer configurations

The AppliTOC® can be delivered with a specific

analysis configuration monitoring only Total Carbon

or Total Inorganic Carbon. For example: in case of

Total Carbon, the acidifying stage is bypassed so the

analyzer needs one reagent less.

Several NDIR detectors with excellent linear output

are available in order to suit specific water matrices

or measuring ranges, from µg/l (ppb) to mg/l (ppm)

levels.

Flow scheme:

Hardware performance in a functional analyzer package

The instrument itself is equipped with high precis ion

peristaltic pumps, a precis ion mass flow controller

and a user-friendly industrial computer, packed in an

ergonomic analyzer housing. Purging with instrument

air is possible in case of risk of accumulation of

corrosive gases or extreme humidity. The hardened

glass door assures instant visual inspection of the

wet-chemical part.

The monochrome touch screen is used as the

standard interface for settings, manual checking,

exporting analysis data and problem solving.

Programmable auto-calibration and auto-validation

are standard features in the AppliTOC®. Operation

is made easier, reliable data are assured and

unnecessary operator intervention is minimized.

AppliTOC® Flow Scheme

Towards Total Solutions An Integrated Approach to Process Control

Site requirements

The AppliTOC® is typically wall-mounted or

mounted on a separate steel frame. Stable ambient

conditions will improve adequate and continuous

operation of the process analyzer. However, it may

also be necessary to connect dedicated

preconditioning systems in order to present a

suitable, reproducible sample to the analysis

stage. Hazardous areas may require special safety

precautions with regards to analyzer equipment.

All these requirements can add a challenging task

to suppliers of analyzer equipment.

Single Source

In this respect, many of our customers require a

total monitoring solution. AppliTek has the

necessary experience to advice, manufacture and

commission your analyzer system. The Single

Source Responsibility Program is our quality

approach to assure consistent quality until the

final step: the implementation of the analyzer

system.

Along in a tradition of providing complete monitoring

solutions, AppliTek designs and manufactures

several self-c leaning units for sample filtration and

homogenization. A selection of analyzer shelters

and cabinets is available to guarantee safety (Ex-

zone) or stability.

Outside: quadruple self-cleaning filtration.

The AnaShell® concept: the essence of the AppliTek single source

approach.

Main screen and data logging

Standard On-screen History displays analysis results

both graphically and numerically, backed up by the

solid state data logger (record history of the last

10,000 results). Incorporated software flexibility: the

screen can remotely be taken over by means of LAN

Ethernet software, enabling all manual operations

and settings from a remote PC screen.

Calibration – Validation – Cleaning

In this screen the AppliTOC® can be programmed

to perform an automatic calibration or an automatic

validation. Automatic calibration, validation and

cleaning can be performed at a fixed time every X

days. “Hold” sets the time after calibration or

validation to block temporarily the 4 -20 mA output

until the analyzer is stabilized.

Correlating analysis results

For stable water matrices, the numerical TOC results

can easily be displayed as COD (Chemical Oxygen

Demand) or BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand)

values, by setting a correlation factor. Please ask our

Application department for advice on this possibility.

Communication features

Authorized users can

remotely take over the touch

screen.

Analysis results are backed

up by the solid state data

logger (up to 10,000 results).

A history of the results can

rapidly be exported in a

chronological data table.
