[Webinar] "Introduction to TOC and VFA Measurement in Wastewater, and Hydrogen Sulfide Sensors - Laboratory and Online Analytical Devices" July 10, 2026 (Friday) 11:00 - 11:45

Simultaneous automatic measurement of TN and TP along with TOC! An online TOC analyzer that contributes to the optimization of wastewater processes.

●BioTector B7000 can measure TOC simultaneously with TN/TP. The simultaneous measurement cycle for TOC/TN/TP takes around 10 minutes, and it automatically cleans the sample tube while operating, eliminating downtime for cleaning clogged drainage. The short measurement cycle for TN/TP is well-received: some customers use it to measure only TN/TP or either one without measuring TOC. ●Measurement Time ◎TOC: <7 minutes ◎TN: TOC <7 minutes, TN <2 minutes ◎TP: TOC <10 minutes, TN/TP <8 minutes ●Measurement Range ◎TOC: Minimum 0-50 mg/L, Maximum 0-20,000 mg/L ◎TN: (Cell length 2mm) Minimum 0-19 mg/L, Maximum 0-5,000 mg/L, (Cell length 0.5mm) Minimum 2-55 mg/L, Maximum 160-15,000 mg/L ◎TP: (Cell length 10mm) Minimum 0-11 mg/L, Maximum 0-3,000 mg/L, (Cell length 5mm) Minimum 1-18 mg/L, Maximum 60-5,000 mg/L Please also check out the video summarizing "no clogging" in 50 seconds.

It can be used without dilution and without blockage for soft particles up to 100 μm. - B3500c A TOC analyzer for standard samples such as reclaimed water and effluent. It can be used without dilution and without blockage for soft particles up to 100 μm. It can be configured with up to two flow paths as an option. - B3500e A TOC analyzer for high-concentration samples such as industrial wastewater. It features a self-cleaning function, resolving issues related to clogging of the sample tube. It can be used without dilution and without blockage for soft particles up to 100 μm.

Supports particles up to 0.8mm - Laboratory TOC/TN Analyzer QP1680

The QP1680 is a laboratory TOC/TNb analyzer. Due to its combustion oxidation method, it can handle relatively high-concentration samples that contain fine particles and salts. In addition to the type that performs combined analysis of total organic carbon (TOC) and total bound nitrogen (TNb), there are also types that measure only TOC or only TNb, allowing you to choose according to your needs. Accurate measurement of TOC and TNb is essential for optimizing industrial processes, improving product quality, and protecting the environment. The QP1680 provides efficient monitoring and reliable measurement results.

Real-time VFA monitoring device to maximize the efficiency of methane fermentation in anaerobic digestion.

The online VFA meter EZ7200 series is a high-performance online titration device designed for monitoring wet anaerobic digestion tanks. It proposes a new management method for medium to large-scale anaerobic digestion processes. In biomass power generation, industrial wastewater, and sewage treatment, the anaerobic treatment of wastewater and sludge in fermentation tanks involves the breakdown of very complex organic carbon compounds, which presents challenges. Real-time measurement of VFA (volatile fatty acids) is effective for stabilizing the methane fermentation tank in anaerobic treatment. Relying solely on pH measurement and sampling can make it difficult to monitor the conditions inside the fermentation tank, depending on the timing. The ideal pH value inside the fermentation tank is said to be between 6.5 and 7.5, but measuring pH alone is not sufficient; adequate buffering capacity [total alkalinity TAC (also referred to simply as alkalinity)] is necessary to compensate for changes in acid concentration. By continuously monitoring VFA, which are intermediate substances during methane fermentation, it contributes to maintaining a more stable fermentation tank and maximizing gas production. By conducting online measurements at 10-15 minute intervals, it becomes possible to anticipate various events within the digestion tank in advance.

About ROAD: The "Roundtable on the Purpose of Autonomous Driving (ROAD)" conference series has evolved into a unique platform for interdis-ciplinary dialogue and international collaboration in the field of autonomous driving and autonomous mobility. Established in 2016, ROAD has brought together researchers, industry leaders, and public sector stakeholders from six countries across three continents. Based on this background, the upcoming ROAD 2026 will focus on "safety” and "driving AI”—the final pieces of the autonomous driving puzzle—to advance discussions on establishing the foundational framework for ensuring safety quality and obtaining regular-tory approval for autonomous driving. We also intend to discuss the international commonalities and differences regarding the social value brought about by ADS vehicles in terms of automation, intelligent driving, and mobility. We have established a total of five compelling themes for the Round Workshops, consisting of two topics related to “The Last Piece” and three topics related to the social value of ADS, as shown below. 1) Round Workshop 1 - Horizons of E2E Driving AI → Can AI Understand the Driving Environment Like Humans? 2) Round Workshop 2 - Beyond the Unknown: Safety Cases for ADS → Can Safety Ever Be Proven? 3) Round Workshop 3 - Envisioning Smart City Mobility → Can Smart City Mobility Bridge the Mobility Divide? 4) Round Workshop 4 - Logistics Enhancement Through Autonomous Tracking → Will Logistics Become Human-Free? 5) Round Workshop 5 - The Evolution of CASE: SDV/AIDV → Will Automakers Become AI Companies? We hope you’ll all join us!

[Instructor] Yuichiro Kabushiki, Partner Lawyer at TMI Comprehensive Law Office [Key Lecture Content] With the spread of AI, there is growing attention on the civil liability of developers, providers, and users of AI. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will publish "Guidelines on the Interpretation and Application of Civil Liability in AI Utilization" in April 2026, and the Ministry of Justice will also establish an expert meeting to examine civil liability related to unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI in the same month. As the full enforcement of the AI Promotion Act and the revision of AI guidelines are underway, it is necessary to design and operate governance based on the potential responsibilities that may arise retrospectively. In this seminar, based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and drawing on litigation practice experience as a judge and lawyer, we will organize the basic framework for assessing civil liability and explain fundamental methods for designing and operating governance based on risk analysis. Furthermore, we will examine the framework for civil liability and the design and operation of governance using hypothetical cases that are likely to pose practical issues.

In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.
