2.2 Background
TOC analysis is the primary screening tool and control parameter for all water based applications but there are some discrepancies or misunderstanding in just what TOC is comprised of.
Many manufacturers claim TOC analysis capability without disclosing the limitations of their methods. Some treat all “TOC analyzers” as a commodity, with no distinguishing characteristics among them. Analytical results reported by the user can therefore be questionable, unless the TOC method is matched to the analytical requirement.
The following discussion is intended to provide the user adequate information in order to allow intelligent cost/performance
