Description
Description
The TOC-820 represents the latest generation of process TOC analyzers developed by LFE.
Since the early 1980s, LFE analyzers have been successfully used in chemical plants and various industrial applications worldwide. Drawing on decades of field experience, the TOC-820 was specifically designed for continuous TOC monitoring in both high- and low-load water streams.
Its robust construction and advanced process design ensure reliable long-term operation under demanding process conditions.
Continuous analysis with nearly 100% carbon conversion
- High temperature oxidation for the complete conversion of all organic carbon compounds
- Continuous analysis with short sample injection cycles (typ. 10 sec)
- Continuous sample conditioning for improved real time analysis
Comprehensive intelligent self-monitoring
- Distinction between operational and maintenance-related impairments
- Output of alarm conditions via analog and digital outputs as well as a plain text description on the LC display
Outstanding reactor service-life
- The dimensioning of the analytical parameters allows maximum possible reactor service life in combination with the fastest possible response time.
- "Quick reactor change" design for high operational availability
Simple operation
- All relevant instrument functions shown in plain text on the LC display
- Intuitive user interface
- Optimized instrument design for ease of maintenance
Engineered for long-term reliability
Designed for high availability and reliable operation in industrial process environments.
Key components are developed in-house or sourced from proven, trusted brand-name manufacturers.
- 100% process design - NOT a modified laboratory instrument
