  • Page 41: Biotector Operation

    BioTector Operation The BioTector is designed to provide continuous online single-component (e.g. TOC) or multi-component (e.g. TOC & TN & TP) monitoring. The BioTector can operate with unfiltered samples including soft particulates up to 2 mm in diameter, and will give accurate measurements even when fats, high levels of salts and/or calcium is present in the sample.

  • Page 42: Biotector Sample Injection

    4.2.2 BioTector Sample Injection The BioTector analyzes a precise volume of liquid. The Sample Pump injects a pre-programmed number of pulses (half revolutions of pump) of liquid into the reactor for each measurement and therefore the volume of liquid included in each pulse is consistent irrespective of sample source pressure. Sample is initially drawn from the source by a peristaltic Sample Pump.

  • Page 44: Tic & Toc Analysis

    4.2.3.1 TIC & TOC Analysis 1. An unfiltered sample is injected into the BioTector reaction chamber (reactor). 2. An acid reagent is added and the oxygen carrier gas flow is activated to remove the inorganic carbon. The carbon dioxide gas is sparged by the addition of the acid reagent and is carried by the oxygen carrier gas and measured with a nondispersive infrared (NDIR) CO analyzer.

  • Page 45: Voc Analysis

    BioTector analysis types are optional features. In order to be able to utilize TC analysis type in BioTector, the system must be built with this option.

  • Page 46: Tc - Tic Analysis

    4.2.3.4 TC - TIC Analysis BioTector TC - TIC analysis type is a combination of TC analysis and TIC analysis, which are run simultaneously with two separate sample injections, in two different reactors (TC reactor and TIC reactor). 1. The oxygen carrier gas flow and the ozone generator are activated. Base reagent is injected into the reactor and hydroxyl radicals are generated by exposing the base reagent to ozone.

  • Page 47: Tn Analysis

    4.2.3.5 TN Analysis In BioTector, the Total Nitrogen (TN) analysis does not require an additional oxidation cycle because BioTector’s oxidation process breaks down all bound, organic and free nitrogen compounds present in the sample into Nitrate (NO ), which exists as an ion in the oxidized sample liquid in the BioTector reactor. 1.

  • Page 57: Carrier Gas And Reagent Connections

    Carrier Gas and Reagent Connections The orientation of the ferrules inside each fitting of BioTector is critical for the correct operation of the system. Incorrect ferrule orientation may create gas/liquid leak and/or introduce air bubbles into the system lines. Therefore, the ferrules on all carrier gas, reagents, drain, exhaust and vent fittings have to be fitted with the correct orientation.

  • Page 58: Carrier Gas Connection

    5.3.1 Carrier Gas Connection The recommended carrier gas for BioTector is Oxygen (O ), free of Carbon dioxide (CO ), Carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen (N ), Hydrocarbons and Water. In BioTector TOC TN analyzers, the carrier gas has to be Nitrogen free Oxygen gas.

  • Page 158: Appendix 3.2 Stream Multiplex Mode

    Appendix 3.2 Stream Multiplex Mode In Stream Multiplex Mode, one channel is dedicated to periodically change its value in steps to indicate the sample stream information and the rest of the channels output appropriate stream reaction results. The output channel, which indicates the reaction result stream information is called “Stream Identification (ID)” channel. The output channels, which output the reaction results are called “Reaction Result”...
  • Page 159 If the Direct Mode was being used in the example above, the system would require 9 dedicated output channels (3 analysis results multiplied by 3 streams). With the use of Stream Multiplex Mode, only 4 output channels (1 stream id channel plus 3 analysis result channels) are needed. Since the output channels in Stream Multiplex Mode change on periodical bases, there is a need for some sort of synchronization between the BioTector and the user device.
  • Page 160 The operation of 4-20mA READ signal is demonstrated in figure A3.2 above. Note that the 4-20mA READ signal is always activated 1 second after changes on Stream ID and all reaction result channels. This function allows the channels to stabilize their values. When this type of synchronization is used, the user device has to sample the 4-20mA READ signal and search for a condition when this signal is activated before reading the Stream ID and reaction results channels.
