emitted (chemiluminescence) that are
measured by the detector.

■ Simultaneous TN determination using
the TNM-L
Based on the similar oxidation process, the
TN b determination can be carried out
simultaneously with the TOC measurement.
For this application, the TNM-L option is
installed on the top of the main TOC-L
system.

For the simultaneous determination, the ASI-L
sample is injected onto the catalyst at 720 °C.
All carbon atoms present in the sample are
converted to CO 2 and, in parallel, the nitrogen
atoms to NO. The gas mixture is then
transported by the carrier gas stream through
the NDIR detector, where the carbon dioxide
content is measured.
