Unlike other TOC analyzers, the Sievers InnovOx does not have a catalyst. This greatly reduces costly downtime and maintenance.

Metal Plating and Finishing

The metal plating industry typically analyzes aggressive sample matrices such as acid solutions containing metal ions that are problematic for most Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzers. Poisoned catalysts, clogged sample lines, and shattered glass often result, causing frequent system maintenance and expensive downtime.

To help companies involved with metal plating and finishing maximize instrument uptime and reduce costs, GE Analytical Instruments designed the new, robust Sievers InnovOx Laboratory TOC Analyzer. The InnovOx uses an innovative Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) technique that achieves greater than 99% efficient oxidation on the most difficult sample matrices, including plating solutions. Consequently, the Sievers InnovOx can run hundreds of TOC samples continuously without any recalibration, system maintenance, or replacement parts. The InnovOx also removes problematic sample matrix contamination at the end of every analysis, eliminating salt and oxidation by-product buildup in the reactor, tubing, and valves.

The InnovOx can measure TC, TIC, TOC and NPOC across a 0.5 to 50,000 ppm detection range. It is ideal for measuring organics in process water or monitoring effluent for wastewater release compliance. It is easy to use, and offers 6-month calibration stability and Web-based remote monitoring.
