ICR Upgrade Reminder

Earlier this year, GE Analytical Instruments informed their ICR (Inorganic Carbon Remover) users of an exciting upgrade in the technology. The change in design not only is more robust, but can actually help an end user save on operating costs. The newly designed degasser for the ICR now has a life of two years versus the previous one-year life. Please remember that the old design degassers will no longer be available in 2012, so it is important that 900 and 5310 C customers upgrade soon. If you are an 800 ICR customer you will need to transition to the 900 ICR, as the 800 ICR is no longer supported.
To learn more about this change and how you can upgrade, please refer to the following Field Service Bulletins:

“WATER Issues & Technologies: Process Water, Wastewater, and Desalination" Course

The Texas A&M University System presents the 7th Annual Practical Short Course on "WATER Issues & Technologies: Process Water, Wastewater, and Desalination" on August 7-9, 2011 in College Station, TX. Hosted by the Separation Sciences Group at the Food Protein R&D Center and the Global Petroleum Research Institute (GPRI), the course presents a hands-on practical workshop with all the do's and don'ts of membrane filtration systems. Course presentations include "Analytical Monitoring of Membrane Water Treatment System,” by Keith McLeroy, Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) Instructor, which will include an overview about how he has used GE Analytical Instrument's InnovOx TOC Analyzer in membrane applications. Reserve your spot today to learn from the leading professionals in membrane technology!

GE Introduces First Portable ‘Total Organic Carbon’ Water Quality Analyzer for Municipal Water Systems

The technology enables in-field, continuous monitoring of raw and finished water TOC levels for plant optimization, finished drinking water monitoring for disinfection byproducts, optimization of chemical additions and enhanced distribution security monitoring. The portable tool is the third in a series of GE’s Sievers 5310 C TOC Analyzers, joining separate laboratory and on-line models that were also developed by GE’s analytical instruments division in Boulder, Colorado. The new unit has the flexibility to run online in a municipal plant or with an autosampler in a laboratory. It was designed specifically for municipal water plants, engineering companies, universities, and research facilities.

GE and Severn Trent Services Work Together to Gain UKAS Accreditation for Drinking and Waste Waters

To gain UKAS accreditation and to comply with both the Environment Agency requirements for waste waters and the Drinking Water Inspectorate requirements for drinking waters, specific rigorous testing protocols must be followed demonstrating the robustness of any analytical technique. Severn Trent Services tested GE Analytical Instruments’ InnovOx TOC Analyzer over 11 days with multiple samples, standards, blanks, and spiked matrix waters, followed by statistical processing of the data generating a method performance summary.
