Analysers for
Total Nitrogen

Online, automatic monitoring of Total Nitrogen (TN) in water

The EZ7700 Series of Online TN Analysers meet the needs for • Full oxidation of nitrogen species according to
fast, convenient and reliable monitoring of the regulatory sum APHA method
parameter Total Nitrogen in wastewater and surface water
• Smart automatic features
applications.
• Control and communication via industrial panel PC
Ammonia, nitrate and nitrite are three key nitrogen species that
play an important role in decomposition of organic material in • Standard 4 - 20 mA signal output with alarm processing
water and biological water treatment in particular. While data on
individual levels of these provide operators of WWTP’s insight in • Communication supporting Ethernet connectivity to
the biochemical processes, other organic and inorganic forms Modbus TCP/IP
of nitrogen may also be of significance. Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen • Multiple stream analysis
(TKN) was originally developed as a measure of organic
nitrogen but in practice it was often considered as synonymous
with Total Nitrogen (TN) due to the lack of other available
technologies. Still today, TN is often confused with TKN.
The EZ7700 Series of Online TN Analysers were developed in
the framework of a research project to provide operators and
utilities a viable alternative for the complex and time-consuming
TKN method. TN as measured by the EZ7700 comprises all
components, organic and inorganic, of the nitrogen cycle by
the analyser’s proprietary sample digestion technique, now
available in an industrial mainframe with a compact footprint:
