Description:

StarTOC Solids/Liquid Analyzer provides a platform, which may be configured for a variety of applications, combustion temperatures, catalyst/non-catalyst choices and different Regu- latory and Standard Methods. It is an ideal tool to support current development programs, as well as providing capability for any future mandated requirements

Applications (partial)

• Solids, Slurry, Particulated Liquids Cleaning Validation (Swab Method)  
• Combustors/Hazardous Waste Emissions
• Incinerator Residue
• Groundwater/Soil Contamination
• Agricultural Studies/Planning

Configurations

The hardware provides the operator with a high degree of flexibility to improvise the configuration parameters, such as temperatures, reactor catalyst choices or a non-catalytic reaction. The following two (2) methods are currently preferred.

TOC - Direct Mode

This method uses a single, dual-zone heated Reactor. The operator acidifies the sample, which is initially introduced to the 250°C heat zone, where all TIC is vaporized to C02 and measured as TIC. After TIC vaporization, the sample is automatically placed in the high temperature heat zone, where the TIC-Free sample is oxidized to C02 and reported as TOC.

TOC Differential Mode

This method uses one Reactor, set to a high temperature, to combust all the carbon in   the sample, to be reported as TC (Total Carbon). Another portion of the same sample is acidified and introduced to the Second Reactor, set to 250°C and is reported as TIC. The computer mathematically subtracts the TIC analysis from the TC analysis to deriveTOC:

TOC = TC - TIC
