The quality of wastewater generated from industrial operations and municipalities is highly regulated and closely monitored. Traditional “oxygen demand” methods of determining wastewater quality can be time-consuming, costly, and less accurate. Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis offers a highly sensitive, non-specific measurement of organics present in a sample. Plants monitoring for TOC are better equipped to adjust their processes, protect capital equipment and meet effluent regulations.
Jens Neubauer is the EMEA Product Application Specialist for the Sievers brand of TOC analyzers by SUEZ-Water Technologies & Solutions. Jens is responsible for the development and deployment of organics monitoring solutions for industrial and environmental markets in Europe.
