Online TNb analyser QuickTONultra

The accumulation of Nitrogen compounds in water leads to an unwanted increase of nutrients (euthrophication). Such an exceeding leads to a harmful plant growth. Certain plants such as algae for instance spread rampantly and disturb the ecological balance massively. Hence, the TN_b is an important parameter for the assessment of waste water.

The QuickTON_ultra is the ultimate online TNb analyser for the determination of total nitrogen bound (TN_b) in waste water and process water applications.

For an exact TN_b measurement all nitrogen bonds – incl. particles – must be reliably combusted. LAR’s unique robot system is capable of transporting and measuring a high content of solid matter without any filtration of the sample. Additionally, LAR’s high temperature method with combustion at 1,200°C guarantees the complete oxidation of the sample.

This online TN_b analyser can handle salt concentrations up to even 300 g/l sodium chloride (NaCl). Salts that melt at the temperature of 1,200°C are vaporised by the combustion power and carried out with the carrier gas to settle in a special retrieving device.

The QuickTON_ultra is designed to operate in a batch mode. The TN_b measurement takes place in within 1 – 2 minutes. This speed guarantees that very short peaks can be determined very well during a daily cycle.

The analyser’s availability is over 98%. The weekly service is about 30 minutes
