Surface water and groundwater are essential sources of drinking water, industrial process water, and environmental ecosystems. Protecting these resources requires continuous monitoring of organic contaminants, nutrients, and water quality parameters that can affect public health, regulatory compliance, and treatment efficiency.

Process Insights’ LAR™ online TOC analyzers and online water quality analyzers provide continuous monitoring of Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Bound Nitrogen (TNb), and toxicity. These systems deliver real-time data that enables water utilities, municipalities, and industrial facilities to detect contamination early, optimize treatment processes, and maintain compliance with environmental regulations.

Our Water Analyzers for Surface and Groundwater Analysis

1. QuickTOCeco™
   Designed for real-time TOC monitoring in surface water, groundwater, and wastewater. It utilizes high-temperature combustion at 1,200°C, eliminating the need for catalysts and ensuring accurate measurements. The analyzer also provides correlated BOD and COD values, offering a comprehensive view of organic pollution levels.

2. QuickTOCultra™
   Ideal for challenging water samples with high particulate content, this analyzer offers robust TOC measurement capabilities. Its high-temperature combustion method ensures reliable results, even in complex matrices.

TOC Analyzers for Continuous Water Quality Monitoring

Why Monitor Surface & Groundwater?

Surface water including rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and wetlands and groundwater aquifers supply drinking water, irrigation, industrial processes, and critical ecosystems. Changes in water quality can occur rapidly due to stormwater runoff, agricultural activity, industrial discharges, seasonal changes, and natural organic matter.

Continuous online water quality monitoring helps operators:

• Detect organic contamination before it reaches treatment facilities
• Monitor changing source water quality
• Optimize water treatment performance
• Reduce laboratory sampling requirements
• Improve treatment chemical dosing
• Protect public drinking water supplies
• Support environmental compliance and reporting
• Reduce operating costs through proactive process control

Key Water Quality Parameters

Effective surface and groundwater monitoring requires continuous measurement of several critical parameters.

Total Organic Carbon (TOC)

A Total Organic Carbon Analyzer continuously measures dissolved and suspended organic compounds, providing one of the fastest indicators of changing source water quality.

Continuous TOC monitoring helps identify:

• Natural organic matter (NOM)
• Agricultural runoff
• Industrial contamination
• Stormwater impacts
• Treatment breakthrough
• Changes in raw water quality

Why Surface & Groundwater Analysis for the Environmental Matters

Monitoring surface water and groundwater is essential to protecting the environment and ensuring access to clean, safe water. These natural water sources such as rivers, lakes, wetlands, and underground aquifers support ecosystems and provide water for drinking, agriculture, and industry.  Contact us to learn about our water analyzers.

By regularly monitoring these sources, we can detect early signs of environmental impact and take steps to manage and protect them effectively.
