TOC Systems, Inc. Automatic Benchtop Analyzer StarTOC

• Five Oxidation Methods in One Analyzer
• 103 Sample Stations & 1 Wash Station
• Dual NDIRs
• Widest Dynamic Range
• Ease of operation with familiar Windows Software
• Reliability Through Simplicity

Unmatched Versatility & Reliability

The StarTOC Automatic Benchtop analyzer is capable of TOC, TIC, and TC analysis using the following methods:

• High Temperature Combustion
• UV/Heated Persulfate
• Heated Persulfate
• Ozone Promoted/Hydroxy/Radical
• Ultra-Pure (UV/NDIR)

Sample is mixed with acid, lowering the pH to 2.0. This converts the inorganic carbon to dissolved CO2, which is Air/O2 stripped out of the solution. Reagent is added if required and the remaining organic carbon is then oxidized in the Reactor to form CO2, which is detected by the NDIR as an interference-free direct correlation to TOC.

Description

Star Instruments, Inc. uniquely offers all methods of TOC analysis and recommends High Temperature Combustion as the method of choice for many applications. The reactor temperature may be adjusted by the operator & configured for catalytic or non-catalytic oxidation. The analyzer platform is an advanced Microsoft Windows-based CE Computer with touch screen.

Only Star offers the features and reliability of operation associated with its team’s pioneering experience in TOC analysis since 1969.

For difficult or questionable streams, we invite you to send a sample for our compli- mentary analysis to verify the adequacy of this method. In return, we will provide a confidential report and recommendation for the best method for your application.

Because we offer a full line of High Temperature Combustion, UV/Heated Persulfate, Ozone Promoted and Ultra-Pure TOC Analyzers, we feel we are able to provide you objective, unbiased advice. We can therefore fully commit our total resources to providing our customers the best possible installation available.

Preferred Applications

Excellent TOC accuracy from low parts-per-million to high TOC concentration levels of moderately salt-containing samples, with minimum maintenance. This is the best method for samples with particulates.

• Standard Method 5310 C/D
• EPA 415.1
• EPA 9060
• ASTM D 2579
• AOAC 973.47
• Wastewater
• River Water
• Process Control
• Difficult to Oxidize Streams
• No/Low Salt Samples

StarTOC Dual Method Ozone / Hydroxyl Radicals + UV / Heated Persulfate offers the highest oxidation potential to assure complete TOC recovery in the most difficult of samples. This Dual Method satisfies the most challenging of applications and is the clear choice of performance-oriented users, who require the highest level of precision in analysis.

Most Rugged and Reliable

• Touch Screen
• VGA Color
• Network Ready
• Paperless Chart Recorder
• PCMCIA Slot
• Solid State Data Storage

Description

Because neither Ozone/Hydroxyl Radical nor UV/Heated Persulfate can fully oxidize all organic carbon compounds, StarTOC Dual Method was introduced to fully satisfy demands for measuring the total organic carbon in the most difficult industrial samples. Rugged FRP Enclosure allows direct outside installation and integral heating, cooling and purging, without requiring additional costly shelters.

StarTOC UV Reagent-Less Oxidation with NDIR detection method offers the best choice for very low levels of TOC analysis in many applications. The analyzer is completely automatic, with an integral Microsoft* Windows-CE computer & Touch Screen Display. It eliminates troublesome & expensive factory reprogramming required by alternate microprocessors, when applications change. StarTOC allows easy Operator adjustments from the front panel and many more features, only provided by an integral, dedicated computer.
