Description
The TOC-810 represents the newest generation of LFE's on-line TOC-analyzers. These have proven themselves with considerable success in use at many chemical plants as well as other important industrial companies since the beginning of the '80s.
The LFE TOC-810 has evolved out of real-world applications as an on-line analyzer for the continuous TOC registration of highly- as well as low contaminated water. The demands placed on every component of such an on-line TOC-analyzer require special design solutions.
Continuous analysis with nearly 100% carbon conversion

- Instrument specific linearization
- Reliable full system calibration with calibration solutions
Special detail solutions for highest operational reliability
- All components meet the highest requirements for long term operational reliability.
- 100% process design - NOT a modified laboratory instrument
- Purgable cabinet section for NDIR photometer and main electronics as well as encapsulation of peripheral electronics

Extraordinarily stable measuring characteristics
LFE develops and manufactures key components in order to attain exceptionally stable measuring characteristics.
- Low maintenance, high precision metering pump
- Especially high quality NDIR photometer system with a corrosion resistant analysis cell specially developed by LFE
- Self-adapting gain control for long term span stability
Signal & status outputs
- Optional digital chart recorder with data storage function
- Up to 6 analog outputs (0(4)-20 mA) for measured values as well as peripheral system values
- Up to 8 digital inputs and 10 digital outputs
- RS-232 interface
- All inputs and outputs are individually configurable.
Options
- Acidifier/ Sparger/ Multiplexer-unit
(ASM-unit; wall mounted)
The basic TOC-810 instrument functions as a TC-analyzer. The ASM-unit facilitates the removal of inorganically bound carbon (TIC).
This unit can be equipped with further options:
- automatic calibration for 3 test solutions
- Multiplex capability (3 sample streams)
- Sample dilution stage
- Simultaneous, selective VOC- or TIC- analysis
in conjunction with 2nd NDIR measuring channel and the Acidifier/ Sparger/ Multiplexer-unit - Analog expansion module
expands the system from 2 up to 6 configurable 0(4)-20 mA analog outputs - Digital expansion module
8 digital inputs plus expansion of system from 3 up to 10 digital outputs - RS-232 serial interface
- Built-in paperless recorder
Unique VOC Analysis Package (optional)
Background
Aside from the intentional removal of inorganically bound carbon (TIC) the sparger air can also inadvertently expel volatile organic carbon (VOC) compounds which escape detection.
The TOC-810 can be fitted with an optional package in conjunction with a 2nd photometer channel which simultaneously and continuously measures the VOC-level independent of the TOC- (or DOC-) analysis.
Functional Principle
The potentially VOC-enriched sparger air is split into two parallel gas streams each containing the CO2 background level representative of the TIC level of the water sample as well as possible VOC.
- The 1st gas stream is passed unaltered through the reference cell of the differential CO2 photometer channel.
- The 2nd gas stream is passed through a catalytic converter stage in which any VOC is oxidized to CO2 and added to the background CO2 level. This stream is sent to the sample side of the differential CO2 photometer.
The difference in IR radiation absorption in the photometer channel corresponds to the VOC concentration of the water sample.
The inherent response of a differential NDIR photometer to varying background levels is dynamically corrected for by the implementation of LFE's patented gain stabilization / common mode rejection algorithm.
First introduced by LFE in 1989, this unique method totally eliminates the need for a CO2 scrubber. The resultant maintenance requirements for the VOC analysis are minimal.
