Seminar on ion analysis for the power
industry
At Ferrybridge power station on 6 April 2004, Metrohm will host a free seminar discussing ion chromatography, titration, and other analytical techniques
The use of Metrohm instruments has been long established within the power industry, when reliable and accurate analysis is required, developed over fifty plus years in the field of ion analysis This seminar at AEP Ferrybridge C power station represents a chance to attend lectures on new Metrohm products and background theory in the techniques of ion chromatography, Karl Fischer, titration and voltammetry

Fast, accurate, Karl Fischer for difficult samples
The water content of many samples is difficult to determine because they are only slightly soluble in alcohols, contaminate the titration cell or undergo side reactions with the Karl Fischer reagent
This complimentary seminar is open to anyone from the power industry or those wishing to view the 821 Compact online process analyser.
Ion Chromatography (IC) as an analytical technique has seen massive growth and interest in recent years and a laboratory based system can be purchased for less than ?6k from Metrohm that will allow the determination of typical power industry applications of anions such as chloride and sulphate or cations like sodium, ammonium and amines.
The IC product range from Metrohm encompasses Compact and Modular laboratory systems as well as the Online systems.
With top end instruments, it is possible to achieve detection limits in the ngl-1 range.
Metrohm Online IC systems - designed for 24x7 use throughout the year - are supplied completely configured in a single industrial housing ready for connection to up to ten sample flows.
The online software allows any parameter of the chromatograms to be recorded and reliably monitored with the additional option of remote control software access as well as the piece of mind of battery backup during the event of a power failure.
Only Metrohm offers an anion suppressor, the MSM, that comes with a ten year warranty.
The brand new 821 Compact online process analyser will be demonstrated to industry in the UK for the first time at this seminar.
Voltammetry and Trace Analysis, the inexpensive alternative to AAS Voltammetry (VA) is the fastest growing analytical technique and offers a real alternative or complementary tool to spectroscopy due to its low cost and incomparable limits of detection per price of instrument.
Traces of toxic heavy metals can be analysed at extremely low concentrations without much trouble.
The detection limits are in the ngl-1 range so the necessary sensitivity can always be achieved.
For ion speciation in analytes, voltammetry is the method of choice.
The VA instruments from Metrohm have a low price, low running costs and compact dimensions that do not require any specialist laboratory infrastructure.
As well as heavy metals and certain organics, VA can also determine environmentally relevant anions like cyanide, sulphide, nitrite and nitrate.
Whatever your budget or application Metrohm have the autotitrator to suit with over 15 titrators available from low cost Titrinos to state of the art Titrandos. Request free introductory details about products from Metrohm UK ...
