Analyzer Device and Method
First Claim
1. An analyzer comprising:
- a. a reactor vessel;
b. a sample pump for flowing a sample into the reactor vessel;
c. a base pump connected to a base reservoir for flowing a liquid base to the reactor vessel;
d. an ozone generator adapted to create ozone and flow the ozone to the reactor vessel;
e. an acid pump connected to an acid reservoir for flowing a liquid acid to the reactor vessel;
f. a sampling valve connected to the sample pump, the acid pump, and the base pump for selectively flowing at least one member of the group;
the sample, the liquid base, the liquid acid, or combinations thereof, into the reactor vessel;
g. a circulation pump connected to the reactor vessel for mixing the sample, the liquid acid, the liquid base, and the ozone to oxidize at least a portion of the sample to its lowest state forming an oxidized liquid sample;
h. a sample chamber for receiving the oxidized liquid sample in communication with the reactor vessel;
i. an analysis pump in communication with the sample chamber for flowing the oxidized liquid sample from the reactor vessel to the sample chamber; and
j. a measuring cell for receiving the oxidized liquid sample from the sample chamber, measuring the oxidized liquid sample with a first detector to optically measure at least one frequency of absorption of at least one component in the sample.

Abstract
An analyzer for oxidizing and measuring samples containing some liquid comprising: a reactor vessel; a sample pump; a base pump connected to a base reservoir; an ozone generator adapted to create and flow ozone; an acid pump connected to an acid reservoir; a sampling valve connected to the sample pump, the acid pump, and the base pump; a circulation pump connected to the reactor vessel for mixing the sample, the liquid acid, the liquid base, and the ozone to oxidize at least a portion of the sample to its lowest state forming an oxidized liquid sample; a sample chamber for receiving the oxidized liquid sample; an analysis pump in communication with the sample chamber; and a measuring cell for receiving the oxidized liquid sample, measuring the oxidized liquid sample with a detector to optically measure at least one frequency of absorption of at least one component in the sample.
