Why Choose HORIBA TOC Analyzers

1200 °C Combustion, No Catalyst

TOCADERO ONE employs high-temperature combustion at 1200 °C without any catalyst, enabling complete oxidation of organic compounds and avoiding issues with drift or catalyst poisoning.

Wide Dynamic Range & Tough Matrices

From ultra-pure water in the ppb range to industrial wastewater with very high TOC, salinity and particles, the TOCADERO platform is designed for real, challenging process conditions.

Low Operating Cost & Smart Service

Catalyst-free, largely reagent-free operation, self-cleaning and backwash strategies, and predictive maintenance all contribute to low total cost of ownership and reduced operator workload.

Technology & Performance

Core Measurement Principle

High-temperature combustion around 1200 °C for TOC and TNb for complete oxidation of organic compounds.
NDIR detection for CO₂ generated from oxidized carbon and additional detectors for nitrogen species as required.
Supports TC, TOC (NPOC), TNb, differential TOC modes, POC/VOC and TIC in line with relevant DIN methods.
Short cycle times (typically under a few minutes) provide near-real-time process information.

Industrial Integration & Connectivity

Designed for continuous online water analytics with compact, robust enclosures suitable for plant environments.
Analog outputs and modern digital interfaces (e.g. Ethernet-based protocols) enable smooth integration into control systems.
Separated analytical and electronic compartments and corrosion-resistant components support long lifetime.
Diagnostics and predictive maintenance concepts support quick start-up and simplified service.
