We will introduce a case of updating the TOC analyzer at a wastewater treatment plant of a recycled paper manufacturer.

The German recycled paper manufacturer Steinbeis Papier has been using a high-temperature combustion oxidation method TOC analyzer for many years, but there have been many cases where the measurement range of the existing TOC analyzer was insufficient, and it was considered necessary to replace the equipment due to aging. Therefore, taking this opportunity for an upgrade, they decided to introduce a new online TOC analysis device to measure the TOC content at the entrance and exit of the wastewater treatment plant. By installing our online TOC analyzer at the entrance of the wastewater treatment plant, the control of the water purification sedimentation treatment process has been automated. Additionally, the process control system manages the dosing of urea and phosphoric acid in real-time based on flow rate, ammonia concentration, and TOC values, ensuring an optimal nutrient ratio.

Not only easy to use, but also achieving outstanding total cost of ownership! Here we present case studies related to water treatment plants in the United States.

This facility, owned by the Douglas County Rural Water District 3 in Kansas, operates two water treatment plants and a distribution network of 280 miles (approximately 450 km). The facility faced several issues regarding TOC measurements, as the values obtained from existing equipment did not match those from a state-certified third-party organization that was sending samples. As a solution, they introduced the "QbD1200." This allowed them to obtain highly accurate TOC data necessary for optimizing coagulant treatment, and during the demo period, they brought samples to a certified lab in Lawrence, where they found a correlation between the "QbD1200" and the data from the city of Lawrence. The team gained new confidence in the measurements, enabling them to analyze and optimize the dosage of coagulants, control the process, and reduce unnecessary chemical treatments.

This webinar will focus on Restek's newly announced GC column "RMX Series," explaining the analytical performance achieved through the latest passivation treatment technology and approaches to solving challenges in sample analysis that includes complex matrices. We will introduce the unique features of the new column format specific to the RMX Series and practical points for trace analysis, along with analysis examples using actual samples. We will also concretely present the applicability to routine analysis through actual case studies using the RMX Series. (External speaker: Mr. Eduardo from Weck Laboratories / Japanese dubbing) What you will learn in this webinar: - The features of the advanced passivation treatment technology adopted in the RMX Series GC columns and its analytical advantages. - The concepts for achieving high-sensitivity analysis at trace levels for a wide range of components, including acidic, basic, and neutral compounds. - Common challenges faced in complex sample analysis and solution approaches utilizing the RMX Series. - How selecting the optimal GC column format, including the RMX Series, can lead to improvements in analytical efficiency and lab operations.

[Speaker] Shogo Yakame, Expert Consultant, Urban Innovation Consulting Department, Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the space business has garnered significant attention both domestically and internationally. In particular, a new large fund, the "Space Strategy Fund," has been launched in Japan, and the space industry has been selected as one of the 17 key investment areas highlighted by the new administration under Prime Minister Takaichi. In light of these developments, the movement for new entrants into the space business is accelerating; however, voices expressing difficulties in launching and promoting new businesses due to the complexity of the industry structure, high entry barriers, and the current immaturity of the market are not uncommon. This lecture will specifically address the mindset when entering the space business from other industries, as well as the challenges that are likely to be encountered, explaining how to perceive and engage with the space business.
