SEIBOLD Wasser - Analysatorenfabrik GmbH products

Basic Information: This process analyser was developed and built for industrial waste water and drinking water Industry. The main advantages are the combined measurement in one measurement step and the use of non toxic and non hazardous reagents.

Reagents and chemistry used with SEIBOLD COMPOSER Analysers are free from toxic compounds. Our "Green Thumb" project started in 2006 and delivered its first products in 2008. In 2011 the complete range of SEIBOLD COMPOSER Analyser for Heavy Metals has been introduced to the market.

SEIBOLD COMPOSER Analyser can perform continuous analysis of heavy metals in water. The colorimetric analysis - stated by the WHO as reliable and best fitting method for online analysis - is used for reliable and accurate results and low total cost of measurement (TCM).

Natural sources. Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant metallic element in the lithosphere. Industry. Aluminium salts are widely used in water treatment as coagulants to reduce organic matter, colour, turbidity and microorganism levels. Such use may lead to increased concentrations of aluminium in finished water.

Arsenic is found in the atmosphere, in water, soils, sediments and organisms due to releasing by various industrial processes, mining or smelting and agricultural activities as well as a byproduct of coal combustion. Natural sources. Arsenic is found in more than 245 minerals.

SEIBOLD Online-Analyser for Cadmium Cadmium compounds belong to the most hazardous pollutants in the environment. Industry. Cadmium metal is used in the steel industry and in plastics. Cadmium compounds are widely used in batteries. Drinking water. Contamination in drinking-water may also be caused by impurities in the zinc of galvanized pipes and solders and some metal fittings. A guideline value of 0.005 mg/litre was recommended for cadmium in drinkingwater. Toxicity. Cadmium is toxic to a wide range of organs. Primary targets are the kidneys, bone, and the lung.

Natural sources. Chromium is widely distributed in the Earth’s crust. It can exist in valences of +2 to +6. In general, food appears to be the major source of intake. Industry. Chromium is seldom used alone; as an additive it endows alloys or materials with new properties: strength, hardness, permanence, hygiene, color and resistance to temperature, wear and corrosion.

Sources: Natural sources. Natural sources of cobalt in the environment are soil, dust, seawater, volcanic eruptions and forest fires. Industry. Cobalt is used for for the manufacture of alloys, hard metals and magnets. Drinking water. A guideline value of 0.01 mg/litre was recommended for cobalt in drinking-water. Toxicity. As a constituent of vitamin B12, cobalt is an essential element and, so far, another physiological role of cobalt has not been demonstrated in human nutrition.

Copper is both an essential nutrient and a drinking-water contaminant Natural sources. Most of the world’s Cu is found and mined in the form of copper sulfides and in combination with other metals that can also form multi-metalsulfide minerals (Fe, Sn, Pb, Se, As, Sb and Ag).
