At fast injection rates of representatively large sample volumes into a high-temperature combustion system classical TOC analyzers reach their limits.
But the patented VITA® Flow Management System makes the IR absorption flow-independent by compensating flow fluctuations. Thus, the measurement signal is completely independent of the injection volume and speed. Easy Cal enables multi-point calibration generated from one single standard solution. The method calibration remains valid, even if the injection volume for sample measurement was changed. The catalyst lifetime is long, the calibration effort is low, and the long term stability for TOC calibration reduces the calibration effort...

Fast and cost-effective sulfur determination is an important task of process optimization and quality control in refineries.
Even very low sulfur contaminations can poison the catalyst and thereby affect its effectiveness. To avoid troubles feed stocks, process streams, and final products must be monitored precisely. The most reliable method to do so is the thermal decomposition of samples followed by UV-fluorescence detection of the formed SO2 (e.g. ASTM D 7183, D 5453 or DIN 20846). Dependent on the process step, the sulfur contents can vary in a broad range from a few ppb up to high ppm...
