Description

CONTINUOUS TN ANALYZER FOR WASTEWATER & PROCESS CONTROL

FOR THE ACCURATE MONITORING OF TOTAL NITROGEN BOUND IN WATER

Our LAR™ QuickTONultra™ water analyzer is the ultimate online TNb analyzer for the determination of total nitrogen bound (TNb) in wastewater and process water applications. The modular system offers flexibility. With the right method, organic and inorganic nitrogen compounds can be quickly measured without problems even in difficult waters with coarse material content. The catalyst-free ceramic oven is the centerpiece of the QuickTONultra. At 1,200°C, it reliably dissolves all nitrogen bonds and, thus, enables a complete analysis of samples. Despite the high temperatures used, absolute safety is guaranteed in all locations.

The QuickTONultra total nitrogen bound (TNb) water analyzer can be delivered with a number of different housings, depending on the intended location. That way the analyzer itself can be used safely at high corrosive places as well as in ex-zones. The determination is in accordance with EN 12260:2003, ISO/ TR 11905-2:1997.

Our QuickTONultra total nitrogen bound (TNb) water analyzer can handle salt concentrations up to 10 g/l. There is also an extra high salt option available that can handle up to 300 g/l sodium chloride (NaCl). This means that even with a high salt concentration the sample does not need to be diluted. With a 10.4-inch touch screen, the QuickTONultra is easy to operate. Another option is to control the analyzer via remote control using a PC, which is connected to your network. QuickTONultra continually monitors the TNb content of water. Optionally, further sum parameters can be detected, too. At 1,200°C, samples are completely oxidized and only within 3 minutes the TNb result is determined.

This water analytical system consists of high temperature oxidation with a working temperature of 1200°C for determination of the total nitrogen content, flow-through sample vessel with magnetic stirrer, vessel for calibration solution, sample transfer and injection module with septum-less injection port, acid filter and carrier gas cooler. The analyzer can easily be configured to also measure Total Oxygen Demand (TOD) and/or Total Organic Carbon (TOC).

The chemiluminescence technique involves the reaction of nitric oxide (NO) and ozone (O3) to produce excited-state nitrogen dioxide (NO₂*), which then emits light when it returns to its ground state. This reaction occurs in a reaction chamber within the TNb module, where a small sample of water is mixed with a reagent solution to convert all forms of nitrogen in the sample into nitric oxide.

The nitric oxide is then mixed with ozone in the reaction chamber, resulting in the emission of light. The intensity of the light emitted is directly proportional to the concentration of TNb in the water sample.

The TNb module also includes a denitrification step, which converts nitrates and nitrites present in the sample into nitric oxide before entering the reaction chamber. This step ensures that all forms of nitrogen in the water sample are converted into nitric oxide and measured accurately by the chemiluminescence reaction.

INDUSTRIES
