Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ):
- How are NEXTChem analyzers
different from all the rest?
- What kind of Chemicals can
NEXTChem analyze for?
- What languages will be available for the interface?
- Can I access the analyzer from a remote location?
- Does the analyzer require a filtered sample?
- Can the analyzer detect a loss of utilities?
First of all, NEXTChem relies on a filter-free sampling
technique. This ensures maximum reliability even in the harshest of
environments, such as wastewater.
Second, a single NEXTChem analyzer can perform multiple
analyses over multiple sample streams. That means a single analyzer can
analyze an entire plant's process!
Thirdly, NEXTChem incorporates process control into its
analyzers. Your analyzer reports a concentration, now what? NEXTChem
analyzers' process control capability gives the analyzer the power to control a
plant's process. If the concentration of a bath is too low, the analyzer
can pump chemical in to keep the bath is spec. By combining process
control with a reliable and accurate analyzer, a plant's process will never go
out of spec.
When the above three are combined, you get a reliable and
accurate analyzer that can control ALL the baths of a plant. And NEXTChem is the ONLY
company to bring all three together!
NEXTChem can
analyze for many different types of chemicals. Check out NEXTChem's Applications site for a list of common analyses.
Keep in mind that NEXTChem can perform multiple analyses with a single analyzer.
The interface will have English plus on of the following: Spanish,
French, and Chinese. In the future, we hope to add Dutch, German, and Arabic.
When the analyzer is purchased, the customer will specify the additional
languages they wish to add. Hence, all touch screens will be bi-lingual.
Yes. The MINIChems and the Basic OMNIChems will need an Ethernet
upgrade. Web connectivity is standard on the Advanced OMNIChem. The
customer must provide the internet connection.
No. NEXTChem utilizes a filter-free sample collection system. For
samples requiring dilution, the analyzer can pass particles up to 2mm
particle. For non-dilution systems, the analyzer can pass particles up to
6mm.
In addition, to increase reliability for samples requiring dilution, the
analyzer can back flush the sample lines, thus eliminating crystallization
within the sample lines. For samples without dilution, the analyzer utilizes a
"self-cleaning valve" mechanism.
Yes. However, the Basic and Advanced OMNIChem analyzers can
detect the loss of both air pressure and sample flow. The MINIChem cannot
detect the loss of utilities.
