draws the sample into the analyzer at a flow rate of about 0.35 mL/min. The waste is removed through a second 1/16" OD Teflon tube to a waste container. The 1/16" OD Teflon tubes are found in the accessories kit. Calibration Valve The analyzer can also be equipped with a two-position switching valve.
Page 29: Chemical Reagent Syringe Pumps
The oxidizing reagent – ammonium persulfate – is inherently unstable, slowly decomposing to form sulfate ion and oxygen. The reagent is stored in a micro- porous Teflon bag container to permit the oxygen to diffuse from solution. The decomposition of the persulfate limits the useful lifetime of this reagent to three months, regardless of the volume of reagent consumed by operating the analyzer.
Page 30: Oxidation Reactor
Oxidation Reactor The analyzer oxidizes organic compounds to CO using the chemical oxidizing agent ammonium persulfate, and UV radiation. The oxidation reactor is a spiral quartz tube wrapped around an UV lamp. The lamp emits light at 184 and 254 nanometers, resulting in the formation of powerful chemical oxidizing agents from the photolysis of water and persulfate: OH .
Page 31: Di Water Loop
DI Water Loop Deionized water for both CO sensors is continuously generated using a circulating pump and a mixed-bed ion exchange resin. When used for the monitoring of low salt samples containing < 10 ppm total carbon, the lifetime of the resin bed is approximately 5 years.
Page 32: Microprocessor Controller And Electronics
Microprocessor Controller and Electronics All operations of the analyzer are controlled by a 32-bit microprocessor.

Data Outputs The analyzer has four output ports: an RS-232 output, two analog outputs (4- 20 mA, and 0-1V or 0-10V), and a parallel printer port. Data can be downloaded from the analyzer via the RS-232 port to a PC using communication software.
Page 34: Major Accessories And Configurations Available For The Analyzer
Typically, if the TOC is 10% or less of the IC concentration, the Sievers Inorganic Carbon Removal Module will be required. For example, if the IC is 1 ppm, then use the IC Removal Module if the TOC is 100 ppb or less for accurate TOC measurements.
Page 35: Multistream
The computer, in conjunction with the DataPro software, allows control of the analyzer and the autosampler. The autosampler has a capacity for 26 samples (plus 1 clean-up sample) using 29 x 81mm screw-capped 40 mL sample vials with Teflon-lined septa or 71 samples (plus 1 clean-up sample) using 16 x 125 mm screw-capped 17 or 18 mL vials with Teflon-lined septa.

Page 59: Selecting Oxidizer And Acid Flow Rates
Selecting Oxidizer and Acid Flow Rates The analyzer can use the oxidizer to ensure complete oxidation of the organic compounds in the water samples. For most samples, the Preset Flow Rates or the flow rates listed in Table 2 can be selected to provide sufficient oxidizer for different TOC concentrations.
Page 60 If the TOC measurements at the higher oxidizer flow rate are more than 3% of the TOC values at the lower flow rate, then complete oxidation is not occurring. Increase the oxidizer flow rates. Increase the oxidizer flow rate by another 0.5 to 1.0 µL/min.
Page 61: Table 2. Recommended Reagent Flow Rates
that the pH of the analyzer waste stream is <2. The flow rate for the oxidizer will depend on the levels of TOC in the samples and can be independently set for on-line sampling and grab sampling. The recommended reagent flow rates for different TOC concentrations are shown in Table 2.
Page 62: Preset Flow Rates
Preset Flow Rates To simplify selection of acid and oxidizer flow rates for on-line monitoring water purification systems, preset values stored in the analyzer can be used. These flow rates are based upon the typical TOC concentration found in such samples.

measured TOC increases, then continue increasing the oxidizer flow rate until a steady TOC value is obtained and gas bubbles are not seen in the instrument outlet line. DI Reservoir Too Low If there is not enough water in the DI loop, erratic TOC readings can result. Follow the procedures in the Maintenance chapter to check the level of DI water in the reservoir and refill if necessary.
Page 200: Negative Or Zero Toc Measurements
The IC removal module is the best method to eliminate problems with high levels of IC for both on-line monitoring and container sampling. If sampling from a container, remove the IC from the sample as follows: 1. Add a few drops of acid (6 M H ) to the sample.
Page 201 EFFECT of INORGANIC CARBON on INSTRUMENT ACCURACY The Sievers 800 total organic carbon (TOC) analyzers determined TOC by measuring both the amount of total carbon (TC) and inorganic carbon (IC) in samples, and then calculating the difference [TOC= TC - IC].
Page 202 IMPORTANT FACTS Negative TOC values are usually the result of measuring low levels of TOC with relatively high levels of IC, and can be statistically relevant results on a validated and properly functioning TOC analyzer, however, many customers find this undesirable. In an effort to mitigate this situation, the following procedure is designed to fine tune both the IC and TC channels of the analyzer.
