Theory of Operation

2.1 Overview

The Model 6750 Analyzer uses the UV/Heated Persulfate method of analysis and is well-suited for many applications involving accurate TOC analysis. The basic analyzer is configured for maximum utility using an advanced MicrosoftWindows-based CE computer with touch screen. The analyzer is suitable for both general purpose and/or hazardous area classifications, if properly configured with required safety equipment.

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 trade-offs and select the appropriate TOC method for each application. The Model 6750 TOC Analyzer performs the following analyses on the SAME sample:

TC:

Total Carbon

NPOC:

Non-Purgeable Organic Carbon

TIC:

Total Inorganic Carbon

POC (VOC): Purgeable Organic Carbon or Volatile Organic Carbon

TOC-True : Total Organic Carbon
