NIPHO™
On-line Total Nitrogen+Phosphorus Analyzer
The newly developed NIPHO™ On-line Total Nitrogen+Phosphorus Analyzer facilitates rapid, convenient analysis of regulatory sum parameters in effluent, river water and ground water. The water analyzer runs two different analysis cycles for the simultaneous measurement of TN and TP. Proprietary sample oxidation techniques convert all N and P species into NO3 and PO4, yet completely automated and without risks imposed on operators. The industrial panel PC controls all steps of the analysis procedure, including sampling, sample transfer, addition of reagents and data exchange.
Contrary to the traditional design of AppliTek’s colorimeters, the NIPHO™ employs a very compact spectrometer for the measurement of the absorbance of phosphate and nitrate at 630 nm and 220 nm respectively. The new spectrometer combines high thermal stability with low drift, and excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
