3.5 Product overview
NOTICE
Perchlorate Material—Special handling may apply. Refer to www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. This perchlorate warning applies only to primary batteries (provided singly or installed on this equipment) when sold or distributed in California, USA.The B3500ul TOC analyzer is intended for the measurement of total organic carbon and has an internal oxygen concentrator.
The analyzer can measure the parameters that follow in wastewater, process water, surface water and seawater:

  •  TIC—Total in-organic carbon in µgC/L
  •  TOC (NPOC)—Total organic carbon in µgC/L, includes NPOC (non-purgeable organic carbon)
  • TOC (NPOC + POC)—Total organic carbon in µgC/L, includes NPOC and POC (purgeable organic carbon)
  • TC—TIC + TOC
  • COD5 —Chemical oxygen demand
  • BOD5—Biochemical oxygen demand
  • VOC (POC)5 —Volatile organic carbon, includes POC

The analyzer uses the analysis methods in Table 4 on page 5.
For theory of operation information, refer to the BioTector B3500 videos on youtube.com and Hach Support Online (https://support.hach.com).
5 Calculated with a correlation algorithm that includes TOC. To show the calculated results on the display, set the DISPLAY setting on the COD and/or BOD PROGRAM menu to YES.
The analyzer is factory configured as one of the systems that follow:

  • TIC + TOC system 6 —Measures the total inorganic carbon (TIC) and total organic carbon (TOC) content of a sample. The TOC result is the non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC). The TIC + TOC system is used to measure samples that does not contain volatile organic material or contain a very small concentration of volatile organic material.
  • TC system—Measures the total carbon (TC) content of a sample. The TC result is the sum of TIC, NPOC and purgeable organic carbon (POC) content of a sample.
  • VOC system—Measures the TIC, TOC, TC and volatile organic carbon (VOC) contents of a sample with two analysis reactions in a single reactor configuration. The VOC result is the purgeable organic carbon (POC). The TOC result is calculated from the TC and TIC measurements as a TC – TIC result. Thus, the TOC result includes the VOC (POC) content of the sample. The TOC result is the sum of NPOC and POC content.

Figure 1 shows an overview of the analyzer exterior.

If the analyzer is not a “purge ready” system, contact technical support to connect the air purge.

  1. From the inner side of the electrical enclosure, remove the fitting blank (plug) from the Purge Air inlet.

  2. Supply clean, dry instrument-quality air at 60 L/min to the Purge Air Inlet on the left side of the analyzer.
    Clean, dry instrument-quality air is -20 °C dew point air that does not contain oil, water vapor, contaminants, dust or flammable vapor or gas.

  3. Install a 40 micron (or smaller) air filter in the air purge line.
    Additional requirements:
    • Make sure that all of the purge gas supplies are made to prevent contamination.
    • Make sure that the purge gas pipe has protection from mechanical damage.
    • Make sure that the air compressor intake for the purge gas is in an unclassified location.
    • If the compressor intake line goes through a classified location, make sure that the compressor intake line is made of noncombustible material and made to prevent leakage of flammable gases, vapors or dusts into the purge gas. Make sure that the compressor intake line has protection from mechanical damage and corrosion.

OUTPUT PERIOD| Sets the time to show a full set of reaction results (results sequence) on the 4–20 mA outputs plus the idle time before the next results sequence starts (default: 600s).
If a new result is available during the idle period, the results sequence starts. The idle period is not completed.
If a new result is available before a results sequence is completed, the analyzer shows the new result then continues the result sequence.
Make sure that OUTPUT PERIOD is sufficient to complete a results sequence. Use the formulas that follow to calculate the minimum OUTPUT PERIOD:
•       Stream multiplex mode —OUTPUT PERIOD = [2 x (SIGNAL HOLD TIME) + 1 second] x [number of streams] •       Full multiplex mode —OUTPUT PERIOD = {[2 x (SIGNAL HOLD TIME) + 1 second] x (number of result types)]} x [number of streams]
SIGNAL HOLD TIME| Sets the amount of time that Channel 1 holds a signal before Channel 1 goes to 4 mA (change level) or to the next stream identification level (e.g., 6 mA = STREAM 2). Default: 10s
When the SIGNAL HOLD TIME setting is 10 seconds, Channels 2 to 4 hold their signal for 20 seconds (2 x SIGNAL HOLD TIME).
SIGNAL FAULT| Refer to SIGNAL FAULT in Table 16.
FAULT LEVEL| Refer to FAULT LEVEL in Table 16.
OUTPUT < 4mA| Refer to OUTPUT < 4mA in Table 16.
OUTPUT 1–35| Sets what is shown on the 4–20 mA outputs (Channels 2 to 4 ), the full scale value of each 4–20 mA output and when each 4–20 mA output changes.
The result type in the OUTPUT setting (e.g., TOC) identifies the channel (Channel 2 to 4 ) on which the result shows. For example, if CHANNEL 3 is set to TOC and the OUTPUT 1 setting has a result type of TOC, the result identified in the OUTPUT 1 setting shows on Channel 3. If OUTPUT 1 is set to STREAM 1, TOC, 5000 µgC/L and INST, when the Channel 1 signal identifies STREAM 1, Channel 3 shows the TOC result where 5000 µgC/L is shown as 20 mA.
Refer to CHANNEL in Table 16 for descriptions of the four settings for each OUTPUT setting.

Table 18 Full multiplex mode settings

Option Description
CHANNEL 1–4 The CHANNEL 1–4 settings cannot be changed.

Note: The OUTPUT # settings identify what Channels 3 and 4 show .
OUTPUT PERIOD| Refer to OUTPUT PERIOD in Table 17.
SIGNAL HOLD TIME| Sets how the long Channel 1 and 2 hold their signal before the channels go to 4 mA (change level or not defined level) or to the next stream identification level or result type level. Default: 10s
When the SIGNAL HOLD TIME setting is 10 seconds, Channel 3 holds the signal for 20 seconds (2 x SIGNAL HOLD TIME).
SIGNAL FAULT| Refer to SIGNAL FAULT in Table 16.
FAULT LEVEL| Refer to FAULT LEVEL in Table 16.
OUTPUT < 4mA| Refer to OUTPUT < 4mA in Table 16.
OUTPUT 1–35| Sets what is shown on the 4–20 mA outputs (Channels 3 and 4), the full scale value of each 4–20 mA output and when each 4–20 mA output changes.
The result type in the OUTPUT setting (e.g., TOC) identifies the channel on which the result shows. For example, if CHANNEL 3 is set to TOC and the OUTPUT 1 setting has a result type of TOC, the result identified in the OUTPUT 1 setting shows on Channel 3. If OUTPUT 1 is set to STREAM 1, TOC, 5000 µgC/L and INST, when the Channel 1 signal identifies STREAM 1, Channel 3 shows the TOC result where 5000 µgC/L is shown as 20 mA.

sets an ALARM relay to on.
First setting—Sets the parameter (TOC, TC, VOC, COD, BOD or TIC).
Second setting—Selects stream 1 or 2.
Third setting—Sets the minimum concentration (default: 10 µg/L) that sets the alarm relay to on at the end of a reaction for any of the sample streams.
Note: For the TIC + TOC and VOC analysis types, the TOC results of the last completed reaction control the alarm relays. For the TC analysis type, the TC results control the alarm relays.
CO2 ALARM 1–3| Note: Only use the CO2 ALARM settings with multi-stream systems that operate on fixed operation ranges, or systems that operate on a single operation range. Do not use the CO2 ALARM setting with an analyzer that uses automatic range change.
Sets the CO2 peak value for stream 1 or 2 that sets the CO2 ALARM relay to on (e.g., 500 ppm). The default is 500 ppm. Carefully select the CO2 peak value. Think about the temperature effect, which could have a important effect on the CO2 peaks. To disable the alarm relay, select 0.0 ppm.
The CO2 alarm identifies a possible high TOC (COD and/or BOD if programmed) level. The CO2 alarm supplies a warning of an unusually high TOC result from the rising slope of the CO2 peak during a reaction.
Note: In TIC + TOC and VOC analysis types, the CO2 peak used for the CO2 alarm is the TOC CO2 peak. In the TC analysis type, the CO2 peak used for the CO alarm is the TC CO peak.

Calibration

8.1 Start a zero calibration or zero check

Start a zero calibration after a maintenance task or after reagent replacement or addition.
After maintenance, measure water ten times before a zero calibration is done to remove contamination from the analyzer.
A zero calibration sets the zero offset values. Start a zero check to see if the zero offset values set by the analyzer are correct as necessary.
The zero adjust values remove the effect that the items that follow can have on measurement results:

  • Contamination in the analyzer
  • Organic carbon in the acid reagent and base reagent
  • Absorbed CO2 in the base reagent
    1. Select CALIBRATION > ZERO CALIBRATION.
    2. Select an option.
Option Description
ZERO ADJUST (Optional) Sets the zero adjust values for zero calibrations

manually for each range (1, 2 and 3) and each parameter. When the zero adjust values
are entered manually, the analyzer records the information in the reaction archive with the prefix “ZM” (zero manual).
Note: The TOC zero adjust values are the zero offset values in mgC/L measured by the CO2 analyzer.
RUN
REAGENTS
PURGE| Starts a reagent purge cycle, which primes the reagents in the analyzer.
Note: To change the pump operation time for the reagent purge cycle, select MAINTENANCE > SYSTEM CONFIGURATION > SEQUENCE
PROGRAM > REAGENTS PURGE.
RUN ZERO
CALIBRATION| Starts a zero calibration, which sets the zero adjust values automatically for each range (1, 2 and 3) for each parameter. Zero calibration reactions have the prefix “ZC”. Stop measurements before a zero calibration is started.
Note: Based on the ZERO WATER setting in the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION menu, a zero calibration reaction is a reaction with no sample or with ultra pure water, and the sample pump does not operate in the reverse direction.
If the ZERO WATER setting in the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION menu is set to YES, make sure to plumb ultra pure water (< 5 ppb TOC) to the
MANUAL fitting before a zero calibration is started. The default setting for ZERO WATER is NO (no sample). For the best accuracy, set ZERO WATER to YES.
Note: Approximately 500 to 800 mL of ultra pure water is used for a zero calibration or zero check.
At the end of a zero calibration, the analyzer does the actions that follow:
• TOC zero adjust value—The analyzer uses the uncalibrated TOC measurement (not the results that show on the display) to calculate and set new zero adjust values.
• CO2 LEVEL setting—The analyzer sets the CO2 LEVEL setting to AUTO (automatic) on the REACTION CHECK screen. Then a new reaction check CO2 level is saved.
• CO2 level—The analyzer compares the CO2 level to the BASE CO2 ALARM setting in the FAULT SETUP menu. If the measured CO2 level is more than the BASE CO2 ALARM value, a 52_HIGH CO2 IN BASE warning occurs.

RUN ZERO CHECK
Starts a zero check. A zero check is the same as a zero calibration, but the analyzer does not change of the zero adjust values or the CO2 LEVEL settings. Zero check reactions have the prefix “ZK”. Stop measurements before a zero check is started.
If the ZERO WATER setting in the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION menu is set to YES, make sure to plumb ultra pure water to the ZERO WATER or MANUAL fitting before a zero check is started. If those fittings are not available, plumb ultra pure water to the SAMPLE 1 fitting. The default setting for ZERO WATER is NO (no sample). For the best accuracy, set ZERO WATER to YES. At the end of a zero check, the analyzer does the actions that follow:
• The analyzer identifies the zero response at each range and shows the suggested zero adjust values in brackets “[ ]” near the zero adjust values set by the analyzer.
Note: Manually change the zero adjust value settings on the RUN ZERO CHECK screen if necessary.
• The analyzer compares the CO2 level to the BASE CO2 ALARM setting in the FAULT SETUP menu. If the measured CO2 level is more than the BASE CO2 ALARM value, a 52_HIGH CO2 IN BASE warning occurs.
ZERO PROGRAM
Note: Do not change the default setting unless necessary. Changes can have a negative effect on the zero adjust values.
Sets the number of zero reactions done during a zero calibration or zero check for each operation range (R1, R2 and R3).
Note: The analyzer does not do a zero reaction for the operation ranges set to 0. The analyzer calculates the zero adjust values for the operation ranges set to 0.
ZERO AVERAGE
Note:
Do not change the default setting unless necessary. Changes can have a negative effect on the zero adjust values.
Sets the number of zero reactions averaged for each operation range at the end of the zero cycles for all of the measured parameters.
8.2 Start a span calibration or span check

Set the operation range and the calibration standards for span calibrations. Start a span calibration to set the span adjust values, which adjust the measurement results. Start a span check to identify if the span adjust values saved to the analyzer are correct.

  1.  Select CALIBRATION > SPAN CALIBRATION.
  2. Select an option.
Option Description

TIC SPAN ADJUST TOC SPAN
ADJUST| (Optional) Sets the TIC and TOC span adjust values for span calibrations manually for each range.
RUN SPAN
CALIBRATION| Starts a span calibration, which sets the span adjust values automatically. Span calibration reactions have the prefix of “SC”. Make sure that measurements are stopped before a span calibration is started.
Make sure to install the calibration standard before a span calibration is started. Refer to Plumb the calibration standard on page 74.
Note: The analyzer uses the same span adjust value calculated for the selected RANGE for the other ranges, unless the span adjust values are manually changed.
A span calibration reaction is the same as a normal reaction, but the prepared calibration standard is measured and the sample pump does not operate in reverse.
RUN SPAN
CHECK| Starts a span check. A span check is the same as a span calibration, but the analyzer does not change the span adjust values. Span check
reactions have the prefix “SK”. Stop measurements before a span check is started.
Make sure to install the calibration standard before a span check is started. Refer to Plumb the calibration standard on page 74.
At the end of a span check, the analyzer identifies the span response at each range and shows the suggested span adjust values in brackets “[ ]” near the span adjust values set by the analyzer.
Note: Manually change the span adjust value settin gs on the RUN SPAN CHECK screen if necessary.
SPAN PROGRAM| Note: Do not change the default setting unless necessary. Changes can have a negative effect on the span adjust values.
Sets the number of span reactions done during a span calibration and a span check (default: 5).
SPAN AVERAGE| Note: Do not change the default setting unless necessary. Changes can have a negative effect on the span adjust values.
Sets the number of reactions the analyzer uses to calculate the average value used for the span adjust values (default: 3).
RANGE| Sets the operation range for span calibration reactions and span check reactions (default: 1). Select the operation range that agrees with normal measurements for the sample stream(s).
Refer to the System Range Data screen to see the operation ranges. Select OPERATION > SYSTEM RANGE DATA.
Note: If the RANGE setting is not applicable to the TIC CAL STD and TOC CAL STD setting, the analyzer shows “CAUTION! REACTION
RANGE OR STANDARD IS INCORRECT”.
TIC CAL STD
TOC CAL STD| Sets the concentrations of the TIC and TOC calibration standards for span calibrations.
Enter concentrations that are more than 50% of the full scale value for the operation range selected in the RANGE setting. For example, if the operation range for TIC or TOC is 0 to 5000 µgC/L, 50% of the full scale value is 2500 µgC/L.
If a calibration standard selected is 0.0  µgC/L, the analyzer does not change the span adjust value for that parameter.
Note: In VOC systems, do not do the TIC and TOC calibrations together.
Do the TIC and TOC calibrations with different calibration standards.
TC CAL STD| Note: The TC CAL STD menu only shows in VOC systems.
Shows the TC CAL STD value, which is the sum of the TIC CAL STD and TOC CAL STD.
If the TOC CAL STD or TIC CAL STD setting is 0.0  µgC/L, the TC CAL STD is set to 0.0  µgC/L so that the analyzer does not change the span adjust value for TC. In addition, the warning set with the TC BAND setting does not occur.
TIC CHECK STD
TOC CHECK STD| Sets the concentrations of the TIC and TOC calibration standards for span checks (defaults: TIC = 0 µgC/L and TOC = 2500 µgC/L).
If the calibration standard selected is 0.0  µgC/L, the analyzer ignores the span check results. In addition, the warning set with the TIC BAND or TOC BAND settings do not occur.
TC CHEK STD| Note: The TC CHEK STD menu only shows in VOC systems.
Shows the TC CHEK STD value, which is the sum of the TIC CHECK STD and TOC CHECK STD.
If the TOC CHECK STD or TIC CHECK STD setting is 0.0  µgC/L, the TC CHEK STD is set to 0.0  µgC/L so that the analyzer ignores the span check results for TC. In addition, the warning set with the TC BAND setting does not occur.

8.3 Plumb the calibration standard

Plumb the calibration standard container to the MANUAL fitting.

  1. Prepare the calibration standard. Refer to Prepare the calibration standard on page 74.
  2. Connect 1/4-in. OD x 1/8-in. ID PFA tubing to the MANUAL fitting. Make sure that the tubing length is 2 to 2.5 (6.5 to 8.2 ft).
  3. Put the tubing in the calibration standard container. Make sure that the calibration standard container is 100 to 500 mm (4 to 20 inches) below the analyzer.

8.4 Prepare the calibration standard

CAUTION
Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the personal protective equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data sheets (MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.
CAUTION
Chemical exposure hazard. Dispose of chemicals and wastes in accordance with local, regional and national regulations.

Items to collect:

  • Ultra pure water, 5 L
  • Volumetric flask, 1 L (5x)
  • Personal protective equipment (refer to MSDS/SDS)

Before starting:

  • Put all hygroscopic chemicals in crystal form in a 105 °C oven for 3 hours to remove all water.
  • Mix the prepared solutions with a magnetic stirrer or invert the solutions until all of the crystals are fully dissolved.
  • If the purity of the chemical to be used is different than the purity given for the chemical in the steps that follow, adjust the quantity of chemical used. Refer to Table 20 for an example.

Shelf life and storage of calibration standards:

  • TOC standards prepared from potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) are normally stable for 1 month when kept in a closed glass container at 4 °C.
  • All the other standards (e.g., TOC prepared from acetic acid and TIC standards) should be used within 48 hours.
    Prepare the calibration standard for TIC/TOC span calibrations and span checks as follows.
    Note: The concentration of the calibration standard and the operation range for span calibrations and span checks are set on the SPAN CALIBRATION screen. Refer to Start a span calibration or span check on page 72.

Procedure:

  1. Put on the personal protective equipment identified in the safety data sheet (MSDS/SDS).

  2.  For the TOC standard, use an off-the-shelf TOC standard. Refer to Replacement parts and accessories in the Maintenance Manual for ordering information.

  3.  Prepare a 1000-mgC/L TIC standard solution as follows:
    a. Add one of the chemicals that follow to a clean 1-L volumetric flask.

    • Sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3)—7.04 g (99.5% purity)
    • Potassium carbonate (K2CO3)—11.62 g (99.0% purity)
    b. Fill the flask to the 1-L mark with ultra pure water.

  4.  To prepare a TOC only standard with a concentration less than 1000-mgC/L, dilute the prepare standards with ultra pure water.
    For example, to prepare a 50 mg/L standard solution, put 50 g of the 1000-mg/L prepared standard in a clean 1-L volumetric flask. Fill the flask to the 1-L mark with ultra pure water.

  5. To prepare a standard with a concentration less than 5-mg/L, prepare the standard with two or more dilution steps.
    For example, to prepare a 1-mgC/L (ppm) standard, first prepare a 100-mgC/L standard. Then use the 100-mgC/L standard to prepare the 1-mgC/L standard. Put 10 g of the 100-mgC/L standard in a clean 1-L volumetric flask. Fill the flask to the 1-L mark with ultra pure water.

  6. To prepare a standard with a concentration at µg/l (ppb) levels, use multiple dilution steps.

When REMOTE STANDBY is unselected, the analyzer starts measurements unless the analyzer was stopped with the keypad or a fault occurred.
START| Starts the analyzer. The analyzer does an ozone purge, pressure test, flow test, reactor purge and analyzer purge, then starts the analysis of the first stream in the programmed stream sequence. If a fault has occurred, the analyzer cannot be started until the fault is removed.
Note: To start the analyzer without the pressure test or flow test (quick startup), select START and push the RIGHT arrow key at the same time.
When a quick startup is done, a 28_NO PRESSURE TEST warning occurs.
The warning stays active until a pressure test is passed.
• Ozone purge—Pushes residual ozone through the ozone destructor.
• Pressure test—Identifies if there is a gas leak in the analyzer.
• Flow test—Identifies if there is a blockage in the gas exhaust or the sample out lines.
• Reactor purge—Removes liquid from the reactor through the SAMPLE OUT fitting.
• Analyzer purge—Removes CO2 gas from the CO2 analyzer through the EXHAUST fitting.
Note: If the analyzer is started while the remote standby signal is active, the analyzer goes to remote standby.
FINISH &
STOP| Stop the analyzer after the last reaction is completed. The analyzer does an ozone purge, reactor purge and analyzer purge and then stops.
EMERGENCY
STOP| Stops the analyzer before the last reaction is completed. The analyzer does an ozone purge, reactor purge and analyzer purge and then stops.
Note: If EMERGENCY STOP is selected soon after FINISH & STOP is selected, an EMERGENCY STOP is done.

10.2 Measure a grab sample

The grab sample settings can be changed while the analyzer is in operation, unless:

  • A manual mode (grab sample) sequence is scheduled to start when the last reaction is completed.
  • A manual mode sequence has started.

Plumb and configure the analyzer to do a grab sample measurement as follows:

  1. Use 1/4-in. OD x 1/8-in. ID PFA tubing to plumb the grab sample container to the
    MANUAL fitting. Make sure that the tubing length is 2 to 2.5 (6.5 to 8.2 ft).
    Refer to Table 2 on page 4 for the sample specifications.

  2.  Put the tubing in the grab sample. Make sure that the grab sample is 100 to 500 mm (4 to 20 inches) below the analyzer.

  3.  Do a sample pump test for the manual stream(s) to identify the correct forward and reverse times. Refer to Do a sample pump test on page 59.

  4.  Set the sample pump times for the manual stream(s). Refer to Set the sample pump times on page 59.

  5.  Select OPERATION > MANUAL PROGRAM.

  6.  Select an option.

Option Description

RUN AFTER
NEXT
REACTION| Starts the manual mode (grab sample) sequence after the next reaction. If the analyzer is stopped, the manual mode sequence will start immediately.
Note: If the analyzer has the Manual-AT Line option, push the green button to select RUN AFTER NEXT REACTION. The Manual-AT Line option is a
small box with only a green button. The Manual-AT Line cable is connected to the analyzer.
Note: When a manual mode sequence starts, all of the cleaning cycle, pressure/flow tests, zero or span cycles stop temporarily. In addition, the
reverse operation of the sample pump is disabled (default).
RUN AFTER| Starts the manual mode (grab sample) sequence at a selected time (default: 00.00).
RETURN TO
ON-LINE
SAMPLING| Sets the analyzer to stop or go back to online operation when the manual mode sequence is completed. YES—The analyzer goes back to online
operation. NO (default)—The analyzer stops.
RESET
MANUAL
PROGRAM| Sets the MANUAL PROGRAM settings back to the factory default settings.
MANUAL x, x
RANGE x| Sets the number of reactions and the operation range for each manual (grab sample) stream.
MANUAL—The first setting is the manual valve number (e.g., MANUAL VALVE 1 is connected to the MANUAL 1 fitting on the side of the analyzer).
The second setting is the number of reactions done at the manual stream before the analyzer does reactions at the next manual stream.
RANGE —Sets the operation range for each manual stream. Options: 1, 2 or 3 (default). Refer to the SYSTEM RANGE DATA screen to see the operation ranges. Select OPERATION > SYSTEM RANGE DATA. If the concentration of the grab sample is not known, select AUTO.
Note: If RANGE is set to AUTO, enter 5 for the number of reactions so theanalyzer can find the best operation range. It may be necessary to discard the first two or three analysis results.
Note: When a MANUAL is set to “- , -” and RANGE is set to “-“, the manual stream is not measured.

10.3 Save data to an MMC/SD card
Save the reaction archive, fault archive, configuration settings and/or diagnostic data to an MMC/SD card.

  1. Put the supplied MMC/SD card in the MMC/SD card slot. Refer to Figure 24.
