Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for the analysis of liquid media, in particular environmentally sensitive media such as, treated and untreated sewage and river water.
  • the invention particularly relates to such apparatus which is designed to measure a plurality of parameters, such as for example measuring a number of different features of the chemical composition.
  • Devices are already known for determining the biological oxygen demand, in which the oxygen consumption of the water sample is measured. These methods may be subdivided into laboratory methods and on-line measuring methods. The laboratory methods are standardized and described in DIN 38409 Part 51 . A typical procedure is a so-called dilution method with which the content of biological degradable substances in the water sample is determined. In the laboratory this test can take five days to complete.
  • Another technique is based upon use of a fermentation calorimeter, which measures the heat production of metabolic processes.
  • the heat product of the fermentation material is compensated for by appropriate cooling.
  • the cooling rate determined is proportional to the metabolic heat produced and hence is also proportional to the metabolic activity of the biomass.
  • the cost outlay on apparatus is high, and corresponding devices are too expensive for use as a process measuring device.
  • enzyme thermistors which measure the heat which is produced when an immobilized layer of enzymes reacts with an organic substance. This is measured, for example, by means of two absolute temperature sensors that are located in the feed or discharge lines of the reaction vessel having the immobilized enzymes. In so-called “flow systems” using this method, the sample under test flows through an enzyme column and, the temperature is measured determined at the end of the column. An uncoated column is used as reference. The difference between the signals from the two temperature sensors is a measure of the reaction heat.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide apparatus for analysing liquids in which the replacement and storage of the biocomponents is achieved in a manner which avoids problems associated with known systems, is simple to operate, and in which, in addition, can allow bioreagents to be stored for a longer period than hitherto.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un appareil d'analyse de liquides (100). A cet effet, l'appareil (1) est doté d'au moins une chambre de réaction (6, 7, 8, 9) dans laquelle sont introduits le liquide (100) à tester et les liquides destinés à l'analyse. Les appareils de ce type s'utilisent, par exemple, dans des stations d'épuration pour analyser les eaux usées (100). Ces appareils (1) peuvent fonctionner sur de très longues périodes sans qu'il soit nécessaire de les entretenir. La seule difficulté qu'ils posent est le stockage des bactéries et des enzymes nécessaires à l'analyse. Ces biocomposants ont une durée de vie réduite et doivent donc être remplacés fréquemment. Afin de faciliter le remplacement de ces biocomposants, l'invention prévoit des chambres de réaction (6, 7, 8, 9), qui peuvent chacune être utilisées en vue d'effectuer une seule analyse. Ces chambres renferment au moins un biocomposant et sont placées sur un composant (2, 3) interchangeable, monté mobile et construit sous forme d'un disque (2) ou d'une courroie (3).
