TOC monitoring
The enhanced GE CheckPoint Pharma On-Line/Portable Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Sensor is typically mounted and used online for continuous monitoring. Measuring the levels of TOC in the water is an important step for pharmaceutical companies to control processes that are critical to their operations and to comply with regulations. The instrument was designed specifically for the pharmaceutical industry and has a standard operating procedure that meets minimum United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopeia (EP), China Pharmacopeia (CP) and Indian Pharmacopeia (IP) specifications. It also can be hand-carried to any point in a water system for rapid diagnostic sampling and troubleshooting. The instrument can measure TOC in hot (up to 90°C) or ozonated water and will operate at ambient temperatures up to 55°C. It has a dynamic range of 0.21 to 1,000 ppb and provides three analog outputs for simultaneous TOC, raw conductivity and temperature measurements. GE Power & Water, www.ge.com

Combining a next-generation flat surface self-cleaning pH/ORP (REDOX) sensor along with modular mounting hardware and optional electronics, the S8000 pH/ORP Platform from Sensorex is a fully configurable system designed to reduce the cost of pH/ORP measurement in water/wastewater treatment applications. It allows users to purchase only the components they need initially, but allows them to expand measurement capability to meet changing plant requirements over time. The same electrode can be used in either tank submersion or in-line mounting applications to measure pH, HF resistant pH, ORP (REDOX) or low ionic pH. This next-generation electrode incorporates Sensorex's double junction ERP technology, which provides a complex path to protect the reference in the presence of interacting ions such as proteins, silver and sulfides that interact with silver or chloride.
