Vladimir Dozortsev, Ph.D., Senior Product Manager
Prior to joining AMS, Dr. Dozortsev held R&D management positions at several instrumentation companies in United States and abroad. During his more than 25 year career Dr. Dozortsev has invented voltammetric devices and sample handling accessories for automated trace metal analysis and process control. Dr. Dozortsev is author and co-author of several patents in the field of automated electroanalysis, advanced electroplating and electrosynthesis.
The automated online THM-100™ monitor uses an approved “purge-and-trap” sampling method, followed by desorption into a chemical mixture that generates a colored product and time-resolved spectrophotometric analysis for detection and determination of THM levels.
The THM-100 measures for the chloroform or bromoform species as well as TTHM. The THM-100 has an accuracy specification of ±10% and has demonstrated a relative standard deviation of 3% or less on CHCl3 and Br-THMs and approximately 1% or less on the TTHM value during independent testing.
THM levels are monitored daily and delivered every four hours or less through the self-calibrating instrument. Monitored results are delivered through communication options including 4-20mA, wireless or USB.
Reliable data on THM and THM Formation Potential concentrations is required to mitigate the presence of harmful DBPs and monitor the success of THM remediation processes. Accurate and real‐time data on THM concentrations is only possible with the online THM‐100™ analyzer.
The Stage 2 Disinfection Byproduct Rule was finalized in 2006. Since then there has been additional epidemiological and toxicological research investigating the potential risks associated with DBPs.
