Reducing Costs at a Drinking Water Plant through Monitoring of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Process Optimization

From GE Analytical Instruments

As many municipalities
strive to balance regulations
set forth in the USEPA's Safe
Drinking Water Act, they
are growing more concerned
about how to reduce
spending in their plant
treatment processes. Today
many drinking water plants,
like the City of Englewood
in Colorado, are using total
organic carbon (TOC) monitoring
and process optimization to produce high quality
water while also achieving significant cost reductions.
This paper discusses the importance of TOC monitoring
in process optimization, and how the City of Englewood
used this technique to save over $100,000 in one year.
