Section 7 Analyzer Commissioning and Startup
The check list below must be used to ensure that the installation has been properly carried out. Please
proceed through the check list in the given order. If the BioTector analyzer is certified for hazardous areas,
carefully read the hazardous area documentation supplied with the analyzer. This documentation contains
important information for compliance with explosion protection regulations. Understanding this information is
essential for the safe operation of the equipment.
Confirm the mains supply voltage and the frequency are correct.
Connect the oxygen cylinder/oxygen concentrator to the BioTector’s OXYGEN port.
Option A: The pressure on the oxygen concentrator with instrument air should be between
1250 and 2000 mbar.
Option B: Depending on the type, the pressure on the oxygen concentrator with compressor
should be between 550 mbar and 750 mbar.
Option C: The pressure on the welding grade oxygen cylinder should be 1000 mbar.
Reconnect the tube linking the Ozone Generator to the acid TEE, at the TEE.
Reconnect the tube linking the Cooler and CO
2
analyzer, at the top of the Cooler.
Reconnect the tubing leaving the Circulation Pump, at the discharge side of the Circulation
Pump. Reconnect the tube linking the Ozone Destructor to the Exhaust Valve (MV1), at the
top of the Ozone Destructor.
Connect the EXHAUST port with ¼” PFA tube to a safe and well ventilated area or to open
atmosphere. The tube must have no restrictions and it must be placed so that any
condensation and liquid buildup in the tubing is prevented. The maximum length of ¼” PFA
tubing installed in Exhaust line is 10 meters. If tubing longer than 10 meters is required, the
use of a larger ID tubing or pipe is recommended.
The end of the exhaust tubing should have a slight downward slope so that any condensation
or liquid at the outlet of the tubing cannot freeze at night or during cold weather.
Remove the tapes, which are used to seal the ends of the supplied CO
2
filter. Fit the CO
2
filter to the Base container and seal the Base container tightly.
Connect the Acid (1.8N H
2
SO
4
) and Base (1.2N NaOH) containers to the BioTector’s ACID
and BASE ports with ¼” PFA tube. 25 liter containers are recommended.
In systems built with FMI Heavy Duty Circulation Pump, connect the HCl Water solution
container to the BioTector’s HCl WATER IN port with 1/8” PFA tube. Minimum of 10 liter
containers are recommended.
In systems built with FMI Heavy Duty Circulation Pump, connect the HCl WATER OUT port to
a pressure free drain using the 1/8” PFA tube supplied. The tube should be fitted so that it
cannot freeze in cold weather.
Confirm the sample or samples are at ambient pressure.
If the sample is under pressure, then the system must be designed to isolate the sample in
the event of a tube leak within the BioTector, for example a system consisting of a liquid leak
detector and automatic isolation valve (this valve must be located outside the BioTector) must
be installed. Note that the maximum allowed sample pressure is 500mbar.
Connect the sample stream or streams to the BioTector with ¼” PFA tube. These ports are
marked SAMPLE 1…6.
