Continuous On-Line Monitoring of Total Organic Carbon.

摘要

Continuous on-line monitoring of total organic carbon was performed at an Air Force sewage treatment facility using an Ionics Total Organic Carbon Analyzer. This instrument was installed and operated to determine its potential use in Air Force monitoring programs and the validity of a total organic carbon (TOC) to biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) correlation for the wastewater analyzed. Information was obtained on the operation and required servicing for proper instrument application. Analysis of data collected during this study indicated that a valid long term correlation of TOC:BOD could be used to effectively monitor treatment plant performance. (Author)
