1Overview
This operating manual has a modular structure, i.e. it contains a
separate operating manual for the individual components of the
multiparameter analyzer (see Fig. 1-1). This volume covers the
operation of the TresCon Pges analyzer module (highlighted in gray in
Fig. 1-1).

1.2 How it functions
1.2.1 Main steps
The total phosphorous content is determined by the TresCon Pges
analyzer module in two main steps:
z Oxidative digestion of organic phosphorous compounds and
hydrolysis of tripolyphosphates.
z Determination of the total orthophosphate PO4
3-
with the aid of the
phosphorous molybdenum blue method (photometric process).
1.2.2 Oxidative digestion and hydrolysis
Digestion takes place in the left-hand section of the Pges analyzer
module. The sample is mixed with a peroxydisulfate solution and
sulfuric acid. The mixture is heated under pressure to a minimum
temperature of 120 °C. During this, essentially two processes take
place which create orthophosphate (PO4
3-
) at the end:
z Oxidation of organic phosphorous compounds and phosphorous
compounds with lower oxidation levels. Under the effect of the acid,
peroxydisulfate S
2
O
8
2-
is catalytically degraded. Reactive oxygen is
created. This oxidizes organic and inorganic compounds. At the
same time, the phosphorous bound in phosphoric compounds is
converted to orthophosphate.
z Hydrolysis of tripolyphosphates. At the high temperature in the
digestion reactor and under the effect of the acid, tripolyphosphates
are converted into orthophosphate (acidic hydrolysis).
With biological phosphates (ATP, NAD, nucleic acids etc.), both
processes take place in combination: The organic part of the molecule
is subject to oxidative attack while the polyphosphate part is subject to
hydrolytic attack.
1.2.3 Orthophosphate determination
For the orthophosphate determination, the sample still combined with
sulfuric acid is pumped from the digestion reactor into the right-hand
section of the Pges analyzer module that is equipped with a process
photometer. The sample is mixed with a molybdate solution and an
ascorbic acid solution. The following steps then result:
z Under the effect of the acid, the orthophosphate is transformed into
phosphorous molybdenum acid. This is created in the so-called β
modification, which is colorless. The molybdenum in it has the
valency +VI.
z The phosphorous molybdenum acid is reduced by the ascorbic acid.
Pges Overview
1 - 5
ba43121e03 01/2011
At the same time, part of the molybdenum VI is converted to
molybdenum V. The compound that arises is colored blue
(phosphorous molybdenum blue).
z The built-in process photometer determines the absorption of the
blue solution. The control unit of the analyzer module calculates the
original content of phosphorous in the sample from the absorption.
1.3 Commissioning
1.3.1 Scope of delivery
When the analyzer is delivered, it already has individual analyzer
modules integrated in it and is ready for operation.

1.3.2 Retrofitting TresCon Pges
This section is only relevant if the TresCon Pges module was
purchased as a retrofit kit. Two free module slots must be available at
the basic instrument for the retrofitting.
Preparatory activities Installing TresCon Pges in an existing measuring system can require
some preparation:
z Displacing the existing analyzer module to the right-hand mounting
slot (module 3, connection cable on the right side)
z Selection of the permeate supply:
Setting up a separate permeate supply (with its own catch location)
or connection to an existing permeate supply (catch location with
further analyzer modules)
Note
Read the I
NSTALLATION section in the TERMINAL volume of the operating
manual before starting the retrofit!

Note
Most of the reagents and consumables are already prepared ready to
use. The reagent C and cleaning solution have to be freshly prepared
(see section 6.5).
This section is about the connection of the permeate and reagent
supply.
Warning
Only trained personnel is allowed to work on the analyzing section.
Always take safety precautions when handling chemicals and comply
with the relevant regulations. This applies especially to the warning
instructions on the chemical containers and in the safety data sheets.
Always use the proper safety equipment!

Note
If the TresCon Pges module is to be connected to an already installed
overflow vessel (determination of several parameters at a single
sampling location), an overflow vessel with 3 permeate nozzles must
be used at this position. If this is not the case, replace the overflow
vessel.
If the TresCon Pges module is to measure a new sampling location, a
further overflow vessel must be mounted.
