1 INTRODUCTION

The Sievers 800 Series Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer from Ionics
Instruments (U.S. Patent No. 5,132,094) is a high-sensitivity analyzer used to
measure the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC), total inorganic carbon
(TIC), and total carbon (TC = TOC+ TIC) in all water samples. The 800
designation is for 120V systems, 810 is for 100 V systems and 820 designation
is for 230V systems (generically referred to as a Sievers 800 TOC Analyzer).

The analyzer is based on the oxidation of organic compounds to form carbon
dioxide using UV radiation and a chemical oxidizing agent (ammonium
persulfate). Carbon dioxide is measured using a sensitive and selective
membrane-based conductometric detection technique as described by Carlson
(R. M. Carlson, "Method and Apparatus for the Determination of Volatile
Electrolytes", U.S. Patent No. 4,209,299, licensed by Ionics Instruments) For
each TOC measurement, the concentration of inorganic carbon species (CO

HCO

-

, and CO

3

2

-

) is determined and, after oxidation of the organic compounds,

3

,

2

the total carbon content of the sample is measured. The concentration of the
organic compounds is then calculated from the difference between total carbon
and total inorganic carbon concentrations

(TOC=TC–TIC).

The analyzer can be used to monitor water samples ranging from high-purity
water containing < 0.5 parts per billion carbon to water samples containing up to
50 parts per million TOC. The analyzer is easy to operate, with extremely low
maintenance, and no special training or chemical knowledge required for
preparing reagents. The analyzer is calibrated at the factory, with the calibration
stable for approximately one year. Recalibration and validation can be easily
performed at the user’s site.

NOTE

Throughout this manual, the term Sievers 800 TOC Analyzer refers to all models
(800/810/820) of the analyzer.

WARNING

For on-line applications, an in-line particle filter must be installed on the sample
inlet line to prevent damage to the instrument. If the water sample to be monitored
contains high levels of suspended solids, then the in-line filter must be replaced on
a regular basis.

WARNING

Do not run the instrument with the sample inlet line capped off as this can result in
false TOC readings and possible damage to the instrument.

WARNING

Hazardous chemical reagents (ammonium persulfate and phosphoric acid) are used
in the instrument. The waste stream from the instrument is acidic and must be
disposed of properly. Consult your state and local regulations.

WARNING

Do not adjust the pressure regulator on the sample inlet system. The pressure is
preset to 5 psi. Changing the inlet pressure can damage the analyzer and void the
warranty. Do not let the inlet pressure exceed 5 psi.

WARNING

Always stop TOC measurements before turning off or unplugging the instrument.
Turning off the instrument while it is writing to the RAM card may damage the

Sample Inlet Systems and Sample Pump

On-Line Sampling from Pressurized Source

Water from a high-pressure line (> 5 psig) is introduced into the analyzer using
a sample inlet system. The system consists of:

• two lengths of 1/4" OD PFA tubing

• a 60-µm stainless steel in-line filter

• an in-line pressure regulator

• a sample interface box that includes:

• a pressure gauge

• back-pressure orifice

• a sample inlet line to the analyzer

• a sample outlet.

The temperature of the water to the inlet system can range from 1-100° C.
The flow rate of water through the inlet system can range from 30-220
mL/minute. The in-line pressure regulator reduces the pressure of the water
to 3-7 psig (5 psig at 25 °C). Water is drawn into the analyzer by a sample
pump at a flow rate of approximately 0.35 mL/min. A pressure > 5 psig will be
indicated by the gauge for water samples at temperatures < 25 °C (lower
pressure for water > 25 °C). The inlet system can also be used for water
samples at pressures below 5 psig as long as the flow through the inlet system
is at least 30 mL/min. For most applications, the waste stream from the
analyzer is mixed with the effluent from the sample inlet system and
discharged to a drain.

Grab Sampling

The analyzer can also be used to sample directly from a sample bottle or other
non-pressurized container for the analysis of grab samples, standards, and
other off-line operations. The samples should be filtered (60 µm or finer) to
prevent clogging of the analyzer by particles in the sample. The inlet line from



the sample inlet system is a 1/16" OD Teflon

tubing and the sample pump

Ionics Instruments 2004 Page 3-3 DLM 30007-08 Rev. A

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.
Installed at the inlet to the analyzer, this valve allows switching between on­line and container sampling without removing any tubing. The valve does not
contaminate the sample, even for low-level TOC measurements.

Chemical Reagent Reservoirs

Two chemical reagents are used in the analyzer: 6M phosphoric acid (H
and 15% ammonium persulfate ((NH

4)2S2O8

). A supply of these reagents for

3PO4

)

approximately three months of continuous operation is stored in sealed
containers in the analyzer. The reagents are prepared using low-TOC,
deionized water under controlled conditions. The reagents are then packaged
to eliminate possible contamination of the sample by organic compounds.
When exhausted, the reagent supplies are simply replaced.

Ionics Instruments 2004 Page 3-4 DLM 30007-08 Rev. A

The oxidizing reagent – ammonium persulfate – is inherently unstable, slowly
decomposing to form sulfate ion and oxygen. The reagent is stored in a micro­porous 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. Although the volume for the phosphoric acid reagent is sufficient for
three months under typical operating conditions, the shelf life is one year.

The analyzer’s firmware keeps track of the volume of both reagents consumed
and the age of the persulfate solution. Warning messages indicate when new
reservoirs must be installed.

Chemical Reagent Syringe Pumps

The reagents are added to the sample stream using microprocessor-controlled
syringe pumps. The capacity of each syringe is 0.5 mL.

Typically, phosphoric acid is added at a flow rate of 0.2 – 1.5 µL/minute,
dependent upon initial sample pH and TOC concentration, to reduce the pH of
the sample stream to pH <2.

For water samples containing up to 5ppm TOC, 0.75µL/min is a suitable flow
rate for persulfate oxidizer. For samples containing higher levels of TOC (up
to 50 ppm), the oxidizer flow rate may be increased to 4.5 µL/min. or higher.

Stream Splitter

After the addition of the chemical reagents, the sample stream is split into two
equal flows. One stream passes through a delay coil and into a CO

sensor,

2

which measures the concentration of total inorganic carbon (TIC), or simply
“IC”. The other stream passes through the oxidation reactor that

photochemically oxidizes organic compounds to form CO

, and into a CO2

2

sensor that measures the concentration of total carbon (TC). As total carbon is
the sum of organic and inorganic carbon, the concentration of total organic
carbon is computed as the difference between the total and inorganic carbon
(TOC = TC–TIC).

Ionics Instruments 2004 Page 3-5 DLM 30007-08 Rev. A

Oxidation Reactor

The analyzer oxidizes organic compounds to CO

using the chemical oxidizing

2

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:

Hydroxyl radical (OH.) will completely oxidize organic compounds to form
carbon dioxide:

+ H2O (4)

2

When low levels of organic compounds (< 1 ppm) are present in the sample,
complete oxidation can usually be achieved by hydroxyl radicals produced
from the photolysis of water, without the addition of persulfate.

The lifetime of the UV lamp is approximately 6 months of operation and a
warning message will indicate when it is time to replace the lamp.

sample (without oxidation). The TC sensor measures the combined
concentration of CO

of organic compounds.
