A conductivity-based, batch-optimized system for analyzing the total of carbon parameter in water
- In cooperation with the company Purification Membranes Analytics GmbH (PMA), a prototype has been developed that analyzes the total organic carbon (TOC) content of water samples based on a complex conductivity measurement. In the process, a batchoptimized system was developed that delivers qualitative results even in highly polluted waters. This method requires small sample volumes and was assembled using an ultrapure water system, a sample mixing system, various electronic control units and a miniTOC system that uses a UV light source to decompose organic carbons and outputs differential values using two conductivity sensors. During the project, a fully automated prototype was developed and is ready for use. In the future, this method could support common methods and lead to more accurate statements on water quality in a cost-effective manner.
