Wastewater analysis protects river
TOC analysers ensure water quality is preserved
A UK company in the chemical industry utilises Endress+Hauser equipment to ensure its treated wastewater can be discharged to a local river without any significant environmental impact. CA72TOC analysers are used to monitor the total organic carbon (TOC) levels of the wastewater to prevent pollution and comply with regulations. The analysers also provide an assessment of plant health because elevated TOC levels at the final outflow could indicate a problem with the equipment.

Protect the natural environment
-
Monitor plant health and optimise processes
-
Automatically adjust operations based on the results obtained
-
Operate safely and conveniently
The challenge
Industrial wastewater must be treated and monitored before it is discharged into local waterways. Measuring the total organic carbon (TOC) levels of wastewater at this chemical plant is essential both to comply with Environment Agency regulations and as an indicator of plant health. A spokesperson said, “If the TOC levels are elevated at the final outflow, you know the plant’s not doing its job by getting rid of it during the process.”
The solution
The treated water is mixed with site cooling water before passing along an open drainage channel and entering the river. All throughout the treatment process the water is sampled and tested using CA72TOC analysers to ensure the water quality meets the requirements of the operating permit. Designed for long-term stability and highest availability, the analysers offer maximum operational safety, and clear diagnostic messages actively support predictive maintenance strategies.
