nir-vana innovation network

The company was established in 1991 and it employs more than 100 people. The company provides various laboratory testing services. It is also a business partner and distributor of several
respected manufacturers of analytical instruments and material testing systems for many years. Also includes service and training for users.

Since 1994 when the first instrument was launched , the company has developed, manufactured and sold a combustion analyzers for determination of organically bound halogens. Currently the 3rd generation of the analyzer is available on the market. This analytical equipment is used in many applications for monitoring of environment to avoid contamination by organic halogen pollutants. Most applications are from following fields:
- Environmental
- Chemical and paper & pulp industry
- Petrochemistry.

Typical customers:
Commercial labs
Water treatment companies
River basin companies and institutes
Health institutes
Industry (waste water)
Universities and environmental institutes
Chemical and paper industry
Incinerator companies
Refinery and other petrochemistry labs

Terminology:
AOX - Adsorbable Organic Halogens
EOX - Extractable Organic Halogens
POX - Purgeable Organic Halogens
TX (TOX) - Total Organic Halogens
Microcoulometric titration (microcoulometry) - a technique in analytical chemistry when the concentration of species is measured using a calculation of a current between electrodes applied to the unknown solution.
Organically bound halogens (organic halogens) - organic substances containing halogens (Cl, Br, I), mostly chlorine.

The combustion analyzer with a micro coulometric titration cell is designed for determination of organically bound halogens which are monitored as AOX, EOX, POX and TX parameters. The instrument meets with most relevant ISO, EN, ASTM and other standards.
The company would like to find a new business partners to spread its sales network globally. Such partners should work as a distributor or commercial agency.
