Additionally, by achieving a very low detection limit of 0.04ppm, this analyser exceeds the EN 1484 and EPA 415.1 environmental regulations detection limit guidelines, ensuring absolute compliance.
These strict guidelines were introduced to monitor the quality of waste water and drinking water.
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis indicates the presence of any organic compounds, some of which can be potentially dangerous in the cleaning process and have the potential to react with the disinfectants to form toxic and even carcinogenic compounds during the production of drinking water.
To adequately measure for TOC, the EPA has set a detection limit of 0.500 mg/L.
Instruments capable of analysing TOC must meet and/or exceed these detection limit requirements.
The Thermo Scientific HiPerTOC analyser is equipped with four different oxidation techniques for TOC analysis, high temperature oxidation, UV/persulphate, UV ultra pure and ozone promoted.
The laboratory found that the analyser provided accurate and precise results at both high and low concentration ranges in a wide variety of sample types ranging from dirty wastewater to clean drinking water.
Additionally, requiring little or no training, the HiPerTOC analyser has reduced training costs substantially.
Due to the instrument ease of use, even new personnel are able to operate it.
Moreover, the size of the instrument is extremely favourable for the laboratory due to its small footprint.
