Masters in Analy cal Technology.

When cri cal processes depend on cri cal data,
how will you make the right decision?
Manufacturing industries are continuously trying to improve performance, efficiency
or safety by means of process control. Suitable analyzer technology is the first step
in order to manage the total package of your assets and can take your process per-
formance to a higher level. High reliability, few installation costs and a reasonable
total cost of ownership are significant savings required by industrial operations.
AppliTek’s analytical technology helps you to achieve these goals and raise
your standards in process control.

From real-me visualizaon to trouble-shoong:

Full integraon and communicaon of AppliTek
process analyzers within industrial producon
sites and corporate networks.

Industrial grade controllers

All AppliTek on-line analyzers (process/water) are equipped
with industrial grade controllers optimized for their tasks. The
colour touch screens (size 10.4” or 5.7”, depending on model)
act as human interfaces with an excellent viewing angle and
swift response to touching. Back-up: all data is automatically
retained in case of power failure.

Flexible communication options

All AppliTek process analyzers come with industrial 4-20 mA
outputs, the most common analogue transmission standard
available. Ethernet communication by means of the industry-
standard TCP/IP protocol enables easy and reliable integration
into existing corporate networks. MODBUS interfacing is possi-
ble to assure full integration and communication with distrib-

Control Room
uted control systems (DCS).

HOST
Remote screen sharing
Plant engineers, maintenance engineers and other authorized
users can remotely take over the analyzer screen (the client)
by means of LAN Ethernet software (such as VNC). Authorized
users can carry out all manual operations and settings from a
remote PC. Conduct trouble-shooting before doing any
physical intervention, grab cross-platform screenshots for
reports or presentations, the possibilities are endless.

System integrated solutions

AppliTek manufactures and commissions analyzer shelters
addressing the needs of customers wishing to monitor a
complex set of parameters in a single integrated system. In
that case, data collection is assured inside the shelter and
transmitted through the network or an existing telephone
line. If necessary, a special computer cabinet can be installed
in the control room to protect the main control/visualization
data computer system.

Titrimetric configuration: titration vessel with magnetic stirrer,
precision dispenser, additional electrodes
Ionometric (ion-selective) configuration: analysis vessel with
magnetic stirrer, precision dispenser for standard addition, high

Options
Smart solutions that reduce unnecessary interventions and
down-times: Leak detection senses any liquid spills in the
wet part of the on-line analyzer and will be recorded and
communicated by the analyzer’s industrial controller.
Sample presence detection can be installed internally or
externally and gives the opportunity to generate alarms to
operators or control centers in case there is no sample.

VPA® Voltammetric Process Analyzer

Trace level determination of heavy metals
VPA® Voltammetric Process Analyzer is a fully automatic
on-line analyzer system for the simultaneous determination
of a wide range of hazardous heavy metals in water. The
whole system consists of an industrial controller, a number

plete sample preparation unit and reagent containers, all
built and enclosed in a floorstanding cabinet.
Measurement of total heavy metal content
Accuracy, precision and stability of results are very critical
when monitoring for heavy metal contents in water sam-
ples by photometric and electrochemical methods. The

Reliability
As a specialist manufacturer of on-line analyzers, we are challenged with
offering our customers the best in industrial grade analytics for on-line
monitoring of liquids, from stand-alone analyzers to complete industrial
monitoring systems. All hardware components are carefully selected, with
industrial computers / human interfaces controlling the operation. Results:
massive amounts of process data are reliably measured, logged and com-
municated in a seamlessly easy way to plant managers or control centers.

Flexibility
The incorporated software flexibility minimizes physical operator interven-
tion. The analyzer screen (the client) can remotely be taken over by means
of LAN Ethernet software (such as VNC software). Authorized users can car-
ry out all necessary manual operations and settings from a remote PC using
a modem, internet or intranet connection.

Safety
Standard general purpose zone, optionally conform ATEX or NEC500.
Industrial needs are to be met by industrial solutions. AppliTek can meet
strict regulations for the construction, including materials as well as design
requirements in hazardous locations. On top of that, all automatic features
that come standard with AppliTek on-line analyzers are also included in the
ex-proof design. Special attention is given to wet parts that come in direct
contact with process streams.
