Hach BioTector Online Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer

Minimize Product Loss and Process Upsets

Would having the ability to detect product loss and make adjustments to treatment processes in real time help you manage your plant? The Hach BioTector TOC analyzer lets you detect process upsets and react before they cost you thousands of dollars in lost product, destroyed microbiology, or fines. Unlike traditional TOC analyzers, the BioTector eliminates build up issues from salts, particulates, fats, oils and greases that lead to drift and high maintenance. With its patented two-stage advanced oxidation technology and oversized tubing to eliminate filtration and sample contamination, the BioTector delivers:

Low Maintenance
Superior Reliability
Low Cost of Ownership

See how the Hach BioTector achieves maximum uptime and reliability through its patented two-stage advanced oxidation technology
