Behr KTC system: efficient and safe distillation of total cyanide
The Behr KTC system is a compact solution for laboratories performing total cyanide analysis in accordance with current standards. Designed to ensure rigorous distillation, this system meets the needs of professionals responsible for quality control or environmental monitoring, particularly in the fields of drinking water, wastewater, soil and certain food matrices.
Cyanide distillation is an essential step in its quantification, and the KTC allows this operation to be carried out accurately while ensuring user safety. This system uses a gentle vacuum operation, made possible by the exclusive use of diaphragm pumps (not included), which limits the risk of overpressure or toxic gas leaks. This principle ensures better control of the procedure and enhanced efficiency in the separation of cyanide compounds.
The KTC is a " Kompakt " system, meaning that it combines all the components necessary for distillation in a single unit: support, heating module, flow meter, fittings, pipes and glassware. This integrated design saves considerable space on the workbench and reduces assembly errors. Thanks to its compact dimensions (71.5 x 23 x 33 cm) and low weight (7.5 kg), it fits easily into small laboratories without compromising on performance.
The KTC model is ideal for laboratories that only require one distillation unit at a time. It allows individual sample management with excellent recovery rates even in complex matrices. The design of the glass components ensures optimal chemical inertness during distillation, contributing to the reliability of the results.
