Development of CONTOC Monitor.
Abstract
The development of the CONTOC monitor arose from the need for continuous on-line analysis of treated effluent waters from munitions plants. The specific conductance (SC), organic nitrate (ON) and total organic carbon (TOC) content are considered critical indications of the effectiveness of the waste treatment process. This report describes the development of an instrument capable of automatic unattended recording of these three parameters. Our work was conducted in two (2) phases. The principal goal of the first phase was to develop the chemistry for a continuous ON measurement. The second phase of effort consisted of integrating the SC, ON, and TOC systems into an industrial piece of hardware. The goal of this work was to produce an instrument which could provide rapid response to changing levels of these species with a minimum of expendable consumption and maintenance.
