Evaluation of Electrochemical Organic Content Analyzer for Army Water Supply Technology.
Abstract
Army-related applications for the EOC Analyzer have been surveyed. Applications in which the EOC Analyzer may be used effectively are (1) monitoring activated carbon and synthetic adsorbent columns used for removal of organic contaminants from munitions wastes, metal finishing wastes and other wastewaters treated in physical-chemical treatment systems, (2) monitoring adsorption, coagulation or sedimentation processes for removal of the precursors of trihalomethane formation in drinking water, (3) monitoring and controlling biological wastewater treatment for process optimization and (4) monitoring oil and grease removal systems. The EOC Analyzer was tested for possible use as a monitor of polyelectrolyte addition in the Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit developed by the U. S. Army Mobility Equipment Research and Development Command. The Analyzer was too sensitive to the organics in the water to be successfully used in that application, but an on-line turbidimeter, tested in parallel, provided the necessary response characteristics.
