Sievers TOC Analyzers' ease of use, yearly calibration, and lack of external reagents or carrier gases make them ideal for remote water monitoring locations and mobile laboratories that measure water quality changes.

Ground/Surface Water Monitoring

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in water is formed from the decay of naturally occurring vegetation, including algae, sediment, and particles in water. There are also quite a few man-made organic chemicals, such as industrial solvents, hydrocarbons, pesticides, and herbicides, derived from industrial sources that contribute to TOC.

TOC content in water sources varies from region to region, by type of water body, and even seasonally within a water source. TOC can also be increased in a water source through the transfer of other water sources or from increased industrial contamination.

More and more drinking water utilities and environmental agencies around the world are interested in profiling ground or surface waters for pollution and natural environmental changes. The ease of use, yearly calibration, and lack of carrier gases or external reagents allows Sievers TOC Analyzers to be deployed in mobile laboratories and remote feed locations.
