Tocadero ONE – Your TOC instrument for precise online water analysis
With the Tocadero ONE, you can rely on a modern, low-maintenance
online TOC analyzer
that combines maximum precision, efficiency, and user-friendliness. Developed by experts for experts, this system enables you to continuously monitor the TOC (total organic carbon) content in water—directly in the process, in real time, and under the most demanding conditions.
Typical areas of application for the online TOC instrument:
- Wastewater treatment plants for monitoring organic pollution in inflows and outflows
- Industrial companies in the chemical, pharmaceutical, or food industries
- Airports for monitoring saline process water and wastewater
- Environmental monitoring for continuous TOC measurements in surface water or process water
Thanks to flexible communication interfaces and compact design, you can easily integrate the TOC instrument into existing systems—stationary or mobile, centralized or decentralized.
Ultimate measurement accuracy – a TOC instrument without a catalyst
With its unique high-temperature combustion at 1,200°C, the Tocadero ONE enables complete oxidation of even stable carbon compounds – without the need for catalysts or chemicals. This gives you the following benefits:
- Highest analytical accuracy of TOC analysis with full DIN conformity
- Significantly reduced operating costs
- Low-maintenance operation even with saline water
The established NPOC (Non-Purgeable Organic Carbon) method ensures standard-compliant results, prevents measurement errors, and saves follow-up costs.
TOC instrument with a technology that speaks for itself
- Syringe- and septum-free sample feeding for trouble-free continuous operation
- Short cycle times and large measuring range for fast results
- Gas-tight separation of analysis and electronics to protect sensitive components
- Predictive maintenance and self-diagnosis for plannable maintenance
All this ensures stable results, low susceptibility to faults, and a long service life for the system—even with saline or difficult samples. All components are designed for maximum process reliability, eliminating unplanned downtime.
User-friendly, space-saving design for seamless process integration
Thanks to its compact construction and intelligent, user-friendly design, you can seamlessly integrate the TOC instrument into your processes. You can operate the system directly on the touch display or remotely from the control room. Integration into your process IT is also easy via common analog and digital interfaces.
Minimal effort, maximum reliability: stress-free maintenance with Tocadero ONE
Maintenance and service are predictable and minimal with the TOC instrument: there are no moving parts except for a peristaltic pump with an annual replacement interval. The TOC instrument uses predictive maintenance, a modern concept of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This approach optimizes industrial processes and reduces costs by transitioning from plan-based “preventive” to “predictive” maintenance. The integrated self-monitoring system records the current device status and accurately assesses maintenance requirements. Early warnings reduce unplanned downtime to a minimum. Self-maintenance is also possible, saving time and money.
