"NPOC" (Non-Purgeable Organic Carbon) mode is preferred for accuracy when no volatile organics are in the sample. Pump (P-1) delivers the sample to the sparger, where it is mixed with acid by pump (P-3) to lower its pH to approximately 2.0. At this pH, the inorganic carbon in the sample is converted to dissolved CO. and is stripped (sparged) from the sample by air/02 and vented to atmosphere, along with any purgeable/ volatile organics. The carbonate-free sample is drawn from the sparger by pump (P-2) and delivered to the Reactor, where the remaining NPOC is oxidized to C02, which is measured by the NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared Analyzer) as a direct correlation of NPOC in the sample. NPOC is often erroneously reported as "TOC".
TOC-True mode is the preferred method of use if any volatile hydrocarbons are present in the sample, which would be lost in the Inorganic Carbon removal sparging stage in an "NPOC" analysis. The TOC-True method measures both TC (Total Carbon) and TIC (Total Inorganic Carbon) for a more accurate and complete analysis of the total organics in the sample, including the purgeable/volatile organic carbon. By subtracting the TIC from the Total Carbon in the sample, all species of organic carbon are measured, not just the NPOC.
Benchmark`2` is the validation technique, whereby on command a chemical calibration standard is automatically introduced to the analyzer and the response is compared to the previous analyzer calibration. If the response falls within a certain specified limit, the computer/output indicates "Benchmark Passed". If the response falls outside specified performance limits, either a "Maintenance Request" or a "Fault" alarm is activated, depending on preset tolerances. Thus, in cases of process spills, when the analyzer performance is questioned, Benchmark can rapidly and automatically validate analyzer performance. It eliminates time consuming and unnecessary recalibration cycles, which take the analyzer out of service just when it is most critically needed. Benchmark may be on-demand, or operator programmed for designated day and time activation on a repetitive basis.
Auto-Cal and Auto-Clean utilities are also included in this option p/n 18039-1.
The NDIR C02detector uses a solid-state, dual-wavelength system with a single borosilicate glass sample cell that requires no wall reflectivity. There is a reference and a C02 specific detector in the sample path. Use of the true zero filter eliminates water vapor interference and the requirement for chemically removing acid gases prior to detection. An infrared source is cycled on and off to avoid mechanical choppers required in alternate NDIRs. TheStarTOC NDIR has no moving parts.
Automatic gain control (AGC) is employed during the reference/sample cycle to compensate for such factors as NDIR source deterioration, dirty optical windows, and detector gain changes. When the AGC level reaches a predetermined threshold, the output alerts the Operator to check the NDIR . Malfunctions of major NDIR components are detected as an alarm, providing fail-safe operation. Signal detection is completely synchronous and , because of the differential technique of ratioing the Zero and CO2 outputs, zero drift is virtually eliminated. All critical optics are protected by sapphire windows. The sample cell can be easily removed and the windows cleaned within 15 minutes, without realignment or the use of any tools.
This absolute measuring, dual-line spectra comparison NDIR provides simple, direct measurement of all CO2 contributing factors (including background) for a true and accurate calibration and precisely offsets these effects for very accurate TOC determinations. The consequences of water vapor interferences in lowlevel precision TOC analysis are avoided.
