Aquafine Ultraviolet Treatment Systems For TOC Reduction

Organic compounds are among the most difficult contaminants to remove in an ultrapure water (UPW) or high-purity water (HPW) treatment system. An important step in producing UPW or HPW is the removal of total organic carbon (TOC). Organics are polar and weakly ionize which poses a considerable challenge to ion exchange and electro-deionization (EDI) systems. The removal of TOC can be cost-effectively achieved by using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation to oxidize organic molecules, followed by ion exchange to remove the resulting ionic species from the water.
Aquafine TOC reduction units coupled with ion exchange systems or EDI will oxidize trace organics into smaller ionic species, carbon dioxide and water, which are more readily removed by ion exchange resins, EDI, and/or degasifiers.
