When it really gets difficult The new European standard requires analysis of samples with suspended solids of 100 microns, wide concentration levels and difficult to digest substances. Design constraints will test the limits of present technology and make improvements impractical. A new concept is required to guarantee accurate and representative analysis with 1 - 2 ml of sample by means of high temperature digestion.
Dynamic combustion solves many problems.
The first step effectively separates inorganic salts and the post combustion completes oxidation to CO2 without expensive catalyst. Automation and solid sampling accessories provide an universal TOC analyzer with minimized routine maintenance and high throughput of samples - from drinking water to soil.
