Process Water & Wastewater Analysis

Process Water & Wastewater Quality Analysis

Water is an essential input for the food and beverage industry.  The water used in food production and the beverage industry is considered to be potable water (i.e., drinking water). This water may come from a variety of possible sources including surface water such as streams, rivers, lakes, groundwater (e.g., underground natural springs, wells), rainwater, and seawater (after desalination).  Reuse of water keeps costs down, and by using less water also reduces the amount of wastewater and treatment costs.  Real-time water quality insights help food and beverage manufacturers avoid product contamination, minimize product loss and decrease operating costs.

On-line water quality analysis is important for Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), water influent and effluent discharge control for quality and compliance, water for injection (WFI), Total Nitrogen Bound (TNb)NPOC (Non-Purgeable Organic Carbon), and DOC (dissolved organic carbon) in pure, drinking, surface, process and wastewater or monitoring return/boiler water quality to prevent system corrosion in crucial processes.  Contact today to learn about our water solutions.


MONITORing TOC (TOTAL ORGANIC CARBON) in process water matters

  • Process optimization: TOC measurements provide information about the quality of the water used in industrial processes. By monitoring these parameters, operators can adjust their processes to optimize performance and minimize waste.
  • Environmental compliance: Many industries are required to meet certain water quality standards to comply with environmental regulations. Accurate measurement of TOC can help industries ensure they are meeting these standards.
  • Product quality: In industries where water is used as a component in products, the quality of the water can impact the quality of the final product. Accurate measurement of TOC can help ensure that the water used in production meets the required quality standards.
  • Cost savings: By monitoring TOC levels, industries can identify opportunities to reduce waste and optimize processes, which can lead to cost savings.
  • Safety: High levels of organic carbon in water can pose a safety risk, as they can promote the growth of harmful bacteria. Measuring TOC levels can help industries ensure the safety of their employees and customers.

MONITORing TOC (TOTAL ORGANIC CARBON) in wastewater matters

  1. Compliance with Environmental Regulations: TOC is a measure of the amount of organic carbon in the wastewater, which can be an indicator of the presence of organic pollutants. Many countries have regulations that limit the amount of organic pollutants that can be discharged into the environment. Monitoring TOC in wastewater can help ensure compliance with these regulations and avoid costly fines.
  2. Protection of the Environment: Organic pollutants can be harmful to the environment and aquatic life. Monitoring TOC in wastewater can help identify sources of organic pollution and prevent the discharge of contaminated wastewater into the environment.
  3. Process Control: TOC monitoring can help control the efficiency of wastewater treatment processes. For example, if the TOC level in the influent wastewater is high, it may indicate that the treatment process is not working effectively and needs to be adjusted.
  4. Optimization of Treatment Processes: TOC monitoring can help optimize the efficiency of wastewater treatment processes. By monitoring the TOC level in the influent and effluent wastewater, it is possible to determine the effectiveness of the treatment process and identify opportunities for process optimization.
