The Hach BioTector B7000i Dairy is a specialized version of the industry-leading TOC analyzer, custom-engineered for the unique challenges of the dairy industry. Designed to monitor water containing fats, proteins, and milk solids, it serves as a critical tool for product loss prevention, allowing plants to identify milk and cream "spills" in real-time before they reach the wastewater treatment system.
The B7000i Dairy (No. BDAAAA052MABAA4) utilizes Hach’s patented Two-Stage Advanced Oxidation (TSAO) technology to ensure 100% oxidation of complex dairy samples. Traditional analyzers often clog due to the high fat and protein content of milk products; however, the B7000i Dairy features large-bore internal tubing and a self-cleaning reactor to maintain 99.86% uptime. This model is configured with a 0 - 10,000 mg/L C range, making it ideal for monitoring process water and effluent streams. By measuring Total Organic Carbon (TOC) every few minutes, dairy managers can instantly detect product breakthroughs, reducing BOD/COD loading and saving thousands of dollars in lost product and treatment surcharges. The system is robust, handles particulates up to 2 mm, and is housed in a compact enclosure suitable for industrial plant environments.
Advantages
- Dairy-Specific Reliability: Patented self-cleaning technology and oversized tubing prevent clogs from milk fats and proteins that would fail other systems.
- Significant Cost Savings: Rapidly identifies product spills (milk, cream, whey), allowing for immediate diversion and recovery, directly impacting the plant's bottom line.
- Industry-Leading Uptime: Delivers a 99.86% uptime record, ensuring continuous monitoring and protection of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).
- High Salt and Solid Tolerance: Easily processes samples with high salt concentrations and particulates up to 2.0 mm without the need for complex filtration.
- Low Maintenance: Requires service only twice a year, consisting of reagent replenishment and basic wear-part replacement, which can be performed in under an hour.
- Accurate Complex Oxidation: TSAO hydroxyl radical technology ensures full oxidation of dairy organics, providing more reliable data than UV-persulfate or combustion methods.
Instructions for use
The BioTector B7000i Dairy is designed for 24/7 online process monitoring. Preparation: Connect the analyzer to a source of dry, oil-free instrument air or a CO2-free air generator. Plumb the sample inlet and drain lines, ensuring the sample is representative of the process stream. Note: Set the measurement interval and spill-alarm thresholds via the intuitive touchscreen interface. The analyzer will automatically conduct the TIC removal phase followed by the TSAO process. Data is available via 4-20 mA outputs or Modbus communication for integration into a plant SCADA system. To maintain optimal accuracy, verify reagent levels weekly and adhere to the 6-month preventive maintenance schedule.
