In the process of industrial production, the steam inside serves as a carrier of thermal energy and is widely used in industrial fields such as power generation, chemical engineering, papermaking, rubber, and ceramics. Especially in some chemical and petrochemical plants, a large amount of steam is needed to transfer energy. So what does this have to do with industrial condensate water? Does the index for detecting industrial condensate water include TOC? After you understand the application of  TOC analyzers in industrial condensate water recovery, you will get it!

First of all, how is steam produced? It generates steam through a large amount of industrial water and the use of energy mainly based on coal. After releasing part of the heat energy from the steam, condensate water is formed. For this kind of used condensate water, there are some that are very clean and can be used directly without any treatment, some that are very dry and need further treatment and purification before they can be used, and some that have been completely contaminated. If you want to do so, you should discharge it into a sewage treatment plant. Of course, it is very important to enhance the recycling of condensate water as much as possible!

Then what does this have to do with monitoring the TOC content in condensate water? Under normal circumstances, the TOC (Total Organic Carbon) in steam condensate water is very pure. However, if the content of organic matter in it is low, it can be directly introduced for use without pretreatment. If you want to reuse the condensate water, it is very important to detect the organic matter in the condensate water! In the actual production process of petrochemical plants, due to the heat exchange process in the steam flow, organic substances may leak and enter the steam and condensate water. Once these organic substances enter, the harm will be very great. So this led to the work of detecting the TOC index in condensate water (the purpose of detecting TOC is to determine the content of organic matter in water). In simple terms, to ensure that the condensate water remains in a qualified state, it is necessary to continuously detect and analyze the total organic carbon in the condensate water using a TOC online analyzer, thereby determining whether the condensate water is qualified.
