What is TOC
TOC = Total Organic Carbon
It refers to the total content of all organic substances in water, a key water quality indicator for purified water, ultrapure water, pharmaceutical, food and electronics industries.
Excessive organics will cause bacterial growth, reduce water purity, contaminate downstream membrane equipment, and fail to meet pharmacopoeia and industrial water standards.
2. Definition of TOC Remover
A TOC Remover is a special water treatment device designed to remove Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in water. It degrades, decomposes and adsorbs organic matter in water to reduce the TOC value.
3. Common Working Principles
UV Oxidation Type (UV TOC Removal)
Adopt 185nm ultraviolet irradiation to oxidize and decompose organic matter into carbon dioxide and water; it is the most mainstream type in the industry.
Activated Carbon Adsorption Type
Use the porous structure of activated carbon to adsorb organic pollutants in water, suitable for water pretreatment.
Advanced Oxidation / RO + Ion Exchange
Combined with RO, EDI and advanced oxidation processes for deep TOC reduction, applied to ultrapure water in pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries.
4. Application Scenarios
Pharmaceutical purified water and distilled water systems
Food, beverage and dairy water systems
Electronic and semiconductor ultrapure water
Boiler make-up water and high-end industrial pure water systems
5. Brief Summary
A TOC remover is a professional water treatment equipment that decomposes and removes organic impurities in water, lowers the total organic carbon level, and ensures high water quality meets standard requirements.
