TOC analyzer multi EA 4000

Overview
The multi EA 4000 is a modular, fully automated elemental analyzer for solid samples. It determines carbon, sulfur and halogen parameters and supports combined parameters such as TC, TOC, TIC, EC and BOC in soils, sediments, wastes, minerals, plastics and other heterogeneous solid matrices.

Key benefits

• Comprehensive analysis scope: TS, TC, TX (total halogens), TOC, TIC, EC, OC, BOC
• High throughput with optional automated solid sampler (FPG 48, up to 48 sample positions)
• Low maintenance operation and reduced running costs
• Modular design for single-parameter to fully configured multi-parameter systems

Functional features

• Broad-range NDIR detector for simultaneous C and S determination (dynamic range ppm → wt%)
• HTC (High-Temperature Ceramic) catalyst-free combustion up to 1500 °C (temporarily higher with additives)
• Automated TOC/TIC determination from a single solid sample in one analysis sequence (with TIC module)
• Coulometric total chlorine determination with patented ceramic combination electrode (low-maintenance, no internal electrolytes/membranes)
• Optional pyrolysis module for EC/BOC and differentiation of residual carbon
• Self Check System (SCS) monitoring gas flows, temperatures and system parameters
• Intuitive multiWin software with method library (ASTM, EPA, DIN, ISO, UOP, etc.) and LIMS interfaces

Products / variants

• multi EA 4000 C (carbon analysis) — optional pyrolysis
• multi EA 4000 Cl (chlorine analysis)
• multi EA 4000 S (sulfur analysis)
• multi EA 4000 CS / multi EA 4000 CS with pyrolysis (combined C/S/Cl configurations)

Applications

• Environmental analysis: soils, sediments, sludges, solid wastes (TOC/TIC, BOC)
• Waste and recycling: total chlorine in fuels, battery black mass (C speciation with pyrolysis)
• Cement and construction materials (TS, TC, TIC; chlorine in alternative fuels)
• Solid fuels, ashes, slags and industrial residues

Accessories

• FPG 48 automated solid sampler (up to 48 sample positions)
• TIC solids module for direct TIC determination in solids
• Pyrolysis module and region-specific kits/consumable packs

Software
multiWin software provides guided workflows, automated method execution, system monitoring, reporting and interfaces to LIMS. Preconfigured standard methods and a method library facilitate routine operation.
