GE P&W Sievers 5310 C User Manual

Fact Sheet

Overview

The Sievers* 5310 C Series Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
Analyzers were designed specifically for the municipal
drinking water 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 most difficult-to-oxidize organic com­pounds 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

1

to support Disinfectant

and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (D/DBPR) compliance.

The 5310 C 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 set up 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.

• 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 four­minute 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 influent or 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 USEPA­approved 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 40­micron 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 high­throughput 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 sam-

pling 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 GE Autosampler 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.
