FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MANTECH Installs Combined Lab and Online Analyzer
(MANTECH INC., Guelph ON, CAN) – MANTECH INC., a manufacturer of automated multi-parameter, titration, BOD and COD laboratory instruments has installed its first combined laboratory and process environmental analyzer also named Lab/Process Duo.
Background
- A Florida based city laboratory responsible for delivering safe drinking water to over 1 million residents.
- Laboratory has budget to purchase on-line multi-parameter analyzer for process control.
- The Laboratory has budget to purchase bench top multi-parameter analyzer for field sample analyses.
- The on-line analyzer is to be located in the laboratory since there is continuous feed pipe from the plant.
Problem
- The City laboratory does not have enough budget for either analyzer to purchase all the parameters required.
- The on-line analyzer does not follow EPA approved methods
- The on-line analyzer requires calibration by the laboratory analyzer increasing the workload for the chemists.
- The laboratory and on-line analyzer utilize different methods and sensors for the same parameters, therefore, the correlation is never 100% certain.
- There is an increased learning and maintenance requirement for the chemists since the analyzers are different.
Solution
- US EPA ETV Verified TitraSip SA System with AutoMax122 Sampler for all parameters desired.
- AutoMax122 Sampler includes process near-line station connected directly to the continuous feed pipe, a rack for field sample analyses and a dynamic rinse station controlled by MANTECH’s IntelliRinse.
- All analytical methods are EPA approved.
Advantages
- Investment cost was equal to the total budget allocated for both analyzers, but the net result with MANTECH was more automation, more parameters and optimized efficiency.
- Analysis cost per sample is 50% better than when two analyzers are employed.
- Training is optimized since only one analyzer operation and maintenance versus two.
- Eliminate extra calibrations of the on-line analyzer.
- Increased confidence in the results generated since the same, method, chemistry and system is used for both process and field sample analyses.
- All desired parameters analyzed from a single sample cup!
The City in Florida, with the investment in MANTECH, automatically monitors and analyzes from a single sample:
- Conductivity
- Dissolved Oxygen
- pH
- Alkalinity
- Chloride
- Total Hardness
The MANTECH Lab/Process Duo is a rugged, durable system generating accurate and precise results that stand the test of time.
