Total organic carbon in ultra-pure water can contribute to bacterial proliferation by providing nutrients, can react in unwanted ways in sensitive thermal processes and, in severe cases, leave unwanted residues on production parts. TOC can come from the feed water used to produce UPW, from the components used to convey the, from subsequent manufacturing and cleaning operations of piping systems or from dirty pipes, fittings and valves.
TOC Evolution VUV features a complete two-stage measurement TOC. Detection of organic carbon (OC) with simultaneous and direct measurement of various TOC groups by oxidation and measurement of the produced CO2 (NDIR.)
