Understanding TOC, COD, and SAC Analyzers
TOC, COD, and SAC analyzers play a vital role in assessing the organic load of surface water, municipal wastewater, and industrial wastewater. These analyzers measure total organic carbon, chemical oxygen demand, and spectral absorption coefficient, ensuring regulatory compliance and optimizing process control. By measuring these parameters in the outlet, organizations can adhere to environmental standards, while in the inlet, they can prevent load peaks and streamline operations.
Key Applications and Selection Criteria
TOC and COD analyzers are essential when precise analysis is necessary, whether for meeting limit values set by regulatory bodies, calculating the cleaning capacity of wastewater treatment plants, or facilitating billing based on contaminant levels. On the other hand, selecting SAC probes proves beneficial for surveillance of surface water and rivers, as well as cost-effective measurement of COD and TOC equivalents in municipal wastewater. Understanding the principles behind colorimetric measurements and methods like the dichromate method, high-temperature analysis, and UV sensor-based spectral absorption coefficient analysis is crucial for efficient operation.
