Sievers 5310 C Series TOC Analyzers

Overview

The Sievers* 5310 C Series Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzers were designed specifically for the municipal drinking wate market. They offer superior accuracy and precision across a dynamic operating range of 4 parts per billion (ppb) to 50 parts per million (ppm) TOC.

The 5310 C TOC Analyzers were engineered for ease of use and cost-effective operation. They offer automated procedures such as calibration, verification, reagent adjustment, and percent removal calculation for easier, faster TOC monitoring. Available in three models— 5310 C Laboratory, 5310 C On-line, and 5310 C Portable
—these low maintenance Analyzers need no external reagents or gas supplies, and offer one-year calibration stability.

Key Applications

The 5310 C Analyzers monitor raw and finished water TOC for plant optimization, USEPA compliance reporting, and distribution security monitoring applications. They recover the mos tdifficult-to-oxidize organiccom-pounds by combining UV/persulfate oxidation with the proven Sievers Membrane Conductometric Detection Technology, a USEPA-approved methodology under Standard Methods 5310 C and USEPA Method 415.3. The 5310 C specifically calculates Percent TOC Removal in both grab and on-line mode to support Disinfectant and Disinfection By products Rule (D/DBPR) compliance.

The 5310C Analyzers offer great flexibility. They can be used for continuous on-line measurement, or to analyze water samples with different sample matrices and concentrations from various points in a plant’s treatment process with the highest efficiency and accuracy. The highly versatile Portable version can be moved between the lab and the plant to facilitate on-line pilot studies and full-scale testing for process optimization.

Features and Benefits

The 5310 C Analyzers features best-of-class ease of use in setup, operation, and maintenance.
  • Easy Operation - The 5310 C Analyzers’ large, color touch-screen display makes it easy to setup instrument parameters. No special training is required to operate the Analyzers.
  • Low Maintenance Requirements — The 5310 C Analyzers prompt users automatically to perform preventive maintenance—typically only a few hours per year. The modular design simplifies consumables replacement and preventive maintenance.
  • 12-Month Calibration Stability — The 5310 C Analyzers offer 12-month calibration stability, unlike some analyzers  that require weekly or  even daily calibration. By following the on-screen prompts, users can select from various calibration routines.

TOC Removal Percentage Protocol and Results
TOC Removal Percentage Protocol and Results
  • Grab Mode Alphanumeric Labeling - This feature lets users individually label each grab sample for
    easy recall of specific samples in the data history or when viewing data on the instrument’s screen.
  • Advanced Productivity and Efficiency - Automated operations, such as calibration, verification, and Percent TOC Removal calculation, combine with a four-minute analysis time for enhanced productivity. The optional Autoreagent feature automatically establishes optimal reagent flow rates for each sample.
  • Automatic Determination of Percent TOC Removal - If the user selects this mode, they are prompted to insert influentor effluent grab samples.The Analyzer then automatically reports Percent TOC Removal with the individual TOC results for each vial.
  • Self-Contained Enclosures - No external reagent or gas supplies are required. The Analyzers use self-contained Sievers internal reagent packs that can be installed in minutes to achieve up to three months of uninterrupted service.
  • On-Line and Grab Sampling (On-Line and Portable only) - The patented iOS System provides an easy way to test external samples and standards. Users can introduce calibration, verification, and other water samples directly without removing the Analyzer from the continuous sample source or changing the sample inlet configuration.

Accessories and Options — On-Line, Portable and Laboratory Models

Inorganic Carbon Remover (ICR). The Sievers 900 Inorganic Carbon Remover (ICR*) complies with USEPA-approved methodology for IC removal, and continuously and reliably removes IC from incoming samples. No manual acidification/sparging is necessary and no additional work by the analyst is required. The quiet, compact integrated ICR fits within the 5310 C On-Line Analyzer’s enclosure, or the stand-alone ICR mounts conveniently to the side of the Laboratory or Portable Analyzer.

Pre-Filter Kits(On-Line or Portable only)
. The Sievers Pre-Filter Kits provide sample streams conditioning of raw water to ensure optimal instrument performance. Two application-specific kits are available: normal use and heavy use. Both provide 40-micron filtration.

GE Autosampler + DataPro 5310 C Software (Laboratory and Portable only). For high-volume laboratory applications, the 5310 C can be used with the GE Autosampler. The GE Autosampler provides high throughput sample capacity (up to 63 positions for 40- or 60-mL vials, or up to 120 positions for 35-mL test tubes or 17-mL vials). The Sievers DataPro 5310 C software integrates the GE Autosampler with the 5310 C Laboratory and Portable Analyzers to offer a host of productivity enhancing features, such as automated calibration and verification protocols. DataPro 5310 C also gives users full sampling flexibility with custom sample protocols and user-defined sampling capabilities. The GE Autosampler’s slim 28.2-cm (11.1-in) profile requires minimal bench space.

In addition to the GE Autosampler’s vial positions, a standards rack provides an additional six vial positions that can be used to check standards that are typically run with each batch of samples. Through the 5310 C DataPro software, the Autosampler can be programmed to perform a cal check between samples, at a frequency determined by the user. Alternatively, the standards
rack can be used for additional sample vial capacity. The GEAutosampler also has an optional rinse station and wash pump that provides a flush of the sample inlet system with a flowing water source. This maximizes analytical performance of sample sets with widely varying concentration.
