AMTOX® is a fast, reliable and reproducible analyser methodology,
to determine the toxicity of water and waste-water samples. The
laboratory AMTOX® system comprises, a bench mount analyser section
with a touch screen controller, providing local display and data
recording.
AMTOX® technology uses a large population of immobilised
nitrobacta - nitrification bacteria, to compute the degree of toxicity
of a filtered sample. The percentage removal of ammonical-nitrogen,
is proportional to the nitrification inhibition and the toxicity
of the sample. Ammonia can be dosed into the sample, if feed concentrations
are below required values. The ammonia removal is analysed using
ion-selective technology, which is calibrated using known standards.

The data is continuously displayed on a touch screen and achived to a hard disc drive. Both acute toxicity (typically operating over a few minutes) and chronic toxicity (taking many days) can be identified, on a single instrument. An on-line version is available for continuous measurement also providing analogue and alarm outputs, to alarm acceptable events to telemetry. |
