Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) pose a significant challenge in measuring liquids, particularly in contexts like hydrocarbons in cooling tower water or wastewater. Traditional UV-based measurements often fall short in addressing these challenges effectively. This is where the Model 204 from Analytical Systems Keco (ASI KECO) comes into play, offering a groundbreaking solution.
Introducing Model 204
Model 204 stands out with its ability to analytically quantify hydrocarbons in water. This capability is achieved through a unique combination of a sample transfer stripper, which incorporates exclusive ASI Membrane technology, and a solid-state sensor developed by Analytical Systems Keco.
Key Features and Benefits
Ease of Maintenance and Reliability: The analyzer is user-friendly in terms of maintenance and does not require routine calibrations in the field. It boasts an impressive typical uptime of 99%, making it a reliable choice for continuous operations.
Accurate Measurements: It accurately measures total hydrocarbons, including both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. This is a significant advancement over alternating oil and water monitors that use UV fluorescence methods, which are often limited to measuring only aliphatic compounds.
Reduced Sensitivity to Interferences: Traditional fluorescence methods can be sensitive to unintended components in the water, such as debris and contaminants. Model 204, however, mitigates this issue, offering more reliable readings.
The Technology Behind Model 204
Sample Transfer Stripper: Incorporating the exclusive ASI membrane technology, it effectively strips VOCs from the liquid, sending them into the sample cell.
Solid State Metal Oxide Sensor: Housed in the sample cell, this sensor enables quantified measurements at both ppb and ppm levels.
True Liquid Validation System: This feature allows users to validate the entire system, not just the sensor, ensuring comprehensive accuracy.
Communication and Validation
Model 204 offers various communication options for transmitting measurements. The optional true liquid validation system by perm tube verifies the proper operation of the entire analyzer system, not just the sensor, with a simple switch flip or remote activation.
