Chapter 1. Introduction The Sievers* InnovOx On-Line TOC Analyzer from GE Analytical Instruments is a high-sensitivity Analyzer used to measure the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC), non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC), total carbon (TC), and inorganic carbon (IC) in water samples. The Analyzer uses supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) to measure a wide range of carbon concentrations in complex sample matrices, including those containing high concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS) and particulates.
Chapter 2: System Description System Overview The Sievers InnovOx On-Line TOC Analyzer consists of eleven major modules (see Figure 1): Multistream module, which accommodates two or five sample streams, depending on the Analyzer configuration. It also includes a vial port, which is used to calibrate the Analyzer. The multistream module also includes a port through which a check standard can be measured.

NPOC, TC, or TOC readings. Contact GE Analytical Instruments at 303.444.2009 or 1 (888) 245.2595 for questions about specific applications. Technical support in the United Kingdom is available at 44 (0) 161 864 6800.
Chapter 4. Installation Overview This chapter provides installation instructions for the Sievers InnovOx On-Line TOC Analyzer and also includes information on the Analyzer design and function. An interior overview diagram is available in Chapter 8, "Maintenance." If you need additional assistance, contact GE Analytical Instruments Technical Support at 303.444-2009 or 888.245.2595, or in the United Kingdom at 44 (0) 161 866 9337.
To mount a Filter Panel on the Mounting Stand, attach the two Filter Panel brackets 30.5 cm apart, as shown in Figure 2. Further instructions for installation of the Filter Panel are provided in the GE InnovOx Filter Panel Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Step 7: Connecting to a Power Supply Installation of the Sievers InnovOx On-Line TOC Analyzer requires an external source of AC power connected to the enclosure using a watertight, grounded conductive conduit connector. A qualified electrician should make the electrical connections according to local Electrical Code.
Chapter 5. Calibration and Verification Overview Calibration of the Sievers InnovOx On-Line TOC Analyzer for NPOC, IC, TC and TOC (TC- IC) measurements is accomplished using standards that contain known concentrations of the form of carbon of interest. It is required that the InnovOx be calibrated for the specific mode that you will be running samples.
Calibration Group. Handling Standards GE Analytical Instruments recommends special handling of all standards to ensure proper preparation and analysis. Most standards are provided in 250 mL bottles. Before performing calibration or verification, standards solutions should be transferred into 40 mL vials for use with the Analyzer’s vial port. Additionally, observe the following practices: •...
Analyzer. When the Analyzer is first powered on, a startup screen appears with basic GE Analytical Instruments contact information and the firmware version number. The Analyzer then begins initialization to check the status of consumables and prepare for making measurements.
Page 117
Use Sample Flushes to quickly reach steady-state response when the Analyzer will be switching from one stream to another and the two streams have very different concentrations. • If you have a GE InnovOx Filter Panel installed (ONLY), press the Blowback Pulses button to set the number of pulses.
Write down your passwords and store them in a safe place for future reference. If you have forgotten your password, you will need to contact GE to help unlock your Analyzer with the keycode that appears on the Login screen.
USB key. If you downloaded the upgrade files from the GE website, make sure that the files are saved in the proper folders on your USB key (:\InnovOx\Upgrade). After you install your USB key in the USB port, wait 15 seconds and then select the Upgrade button.
200 m. The InnovOx On-Line TOC Analyzer is designed to control up to five Filter Panels. Refer to the GE Filter Panel Operation and Maintenance Manual for instructions on the installation and setup of the Filter Panel.
Refer to Table 11 for the recommended consumables replacement schedule. Maintenance items MUST be purchased from GE Analytical Instruments. If you need additional assistance, contact GE Analytical Instruments Technical Support at 303. 444.2009 or 888.245.2595. Training is also available. Technical support in the United Kingdom is available at 44 (0) 161 866 9337.
Analyzer’s Main screen and on the Consumables screen. For this procedure, the Analyzer should be powered on. Contact GE Analytical Instruments at 303. 444.2009 or 800.255.2595 for a replacement kit. Technical support in the United Kingdom is available at 44 (0) 161 864 6800.
Wear eye protection and gloves when performing this task. The Sievers InnovOx Online TOC Analyzer has two high pressure valves (V4-R and V5-R). These valves are identified in Figure 54. Each valve contains a seal that wears over time. The seals should be replaced after one month of operation.
