TOC Removal from Water
Understanding the Contaminant
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) represents the amount of carbon found in organic compounds within water. These organic materials can originate from decaying vegetation, agricultural runoff, or industrial processes. Elevated TOC levels can lead to the formation of harmful disinfection byproducts, affect water taste, and pose health risks.
Solutions for Removal
- Activated Carbon Filtration: Adsorbs organic compounds, reducing TOC levels.
- Reverse Osmosis: Removes dissolved organic materials and contaminants.
- UV Oxidation: Breaks down organic molecules into harmless substances.
- Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP): Combines UV light with oxidants like hydrogen peroxide for effective TOC reduction.
Applications
TOC removal is vital in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage production, and municipal water treatment.
Benefits of Removal
- Reduces the formation of harmful byproducts
- Improves water taste and odor
- Ensures compliance with water quality standards
