High Temperature Total Organic Carbon Analyzer
The Dohrmann High Temperature Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer, DC-190, shown above can analyze a wide range of samples including those which are dirty, salty, or particulate-laden. The TOC can analyze liquids for total carbon, total organic carbon, inorganic carbon, non-purgeable organic carbon, and purgeable organic carbon with a detection range of 0.2 ppm to 50,000 ppm of carbon. The TOC can be used for waste water treatment process control, analysis of potential hydrocarbon contamination in liquids, ethanol content in water, reactor effluent hydrocarbon and coke content, and a myriad of other uses.
Coulter Multisizer
The Coulter Multisizer is used to measure particle size and particle size distribution (PSD). For analysis particulates need to be suspended in a compatible solution, if not already done. Multisizer can quantify particle size distribution for a wide range of particles ranging from red blood cells to fine mesh grit. The Coulter Multisizer shown above is used to measure catalyst particle size distribution and polymer particle size distribution among its variety of uses
Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter
The oxygen bomb calorimeter shown above is manufactured by Parr Instrument Company. Oxygen bomb calorimeters are useful tools for determine the heat of combustion of compounds and materials.
B.E.T. Surface Area Analyzer
The Quantachrom surface area analyzer shown above is used to determine the surface area and porosity of particles such as catalysts and powders.
Titrimeter
The Fisher Chlorine Titrimeter shown above is used to make quantitative measurements of residual chlorine in aqueous solutions. The titrimeter is used as one of the principal instruments for measuring chlorine dioxide concentrations in optimizing chlorine dioxide production techniques in the patented Chlorine Dioxide Technology developed by Dr. Lee and his R&D team. In addition the titrimeter can be used for detecting chlorine concentrations in domestic water supplies as well as waste water discharge as a part of municipal and industrial waste water treatment.
Spectronic 20 Colorimeter
Spectronic 20 Colorimeter or “Spec 20” is a qualitative and quantitative tool used to determine the absorbance and transmittance of various wavelengths light through prepared samples.
