Organic contamination affects almost every water system, from ultrapure water in electronics and pharmaceuticals to boiler feedwater, cooling towers and wastewater. Yet many sites still rely on infrequent laboratory samples to track it.
What does TOC tell you?
Total organic carbon (TOC) measures all of the carbon bound in organic compounds in a water sample. It is fast, sensitive and non-specific, which makes it ideal for detecting changes in water quality before they cause problems.
Protecting product quality
In pharmaceutical and food production, TOC is a key indicator of purified water quality and cleaning effectiveness. Real-time measurement allows faster batch release and reduces the risk of contamination reaching the product.
Protecting assets
In steam systems, organic contamination can break down into acids that cause corrosion. Online TOC monitoring of condensate and feedwater gives early warning of process leaks, protecting boilers and turbines.
What you measure in real time, you can manage in real time.
Supporting sustainability
Water reuse depends on proving that recycled water is safe for its intended use. Continuous organics monitoring provides that assurance and helps optimise treatment so less energy and chemical is used.
Dagussa supplies TOC analysers, sensors and expert support. Explore our monitoring systems.
