Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
The reduction of total organic carbon (TOC) is critical for a number of industries who use ultrapure water (UPW), such as microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater processing.
Organic compounds, however, are among the most difficult contaminants to remove in an ultrapure water (UPW) or high-purity water (HPW) treatment system. The removal of TOC can be cost-effectively achieved by using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation to oxidize organic molecules, followed by ion exchange to remove the resulting ionic species from the water.
Benefits of Using UV in TOC Reduction
Small footprint
Modular skid designs
Can operate indoor or outdoor installations
Low operational and maintenance costs
Application-specific reactor design
Engineered to meet or exceed <1ppb TOC Specifications
