T he Series 6700 covers a complete range of Total Organic
Carbon (TOC) Analyzers capable of addressing a variety
of industrial applications for process and environmental
compliance purposes. Depending on the application, TAI can
recommend which technique is best suited to continuously
detect TOC within your process.
The robust and reliable Infrared CO2 analyzer is the heart
of each design. It provides specific, interference-free CO2
detection, has no moving parts, and is extremely easy to
access and service, as required.
Each configuration is available with an optional Microsoft
Windows™ based computer with touch screen control.

TOC Methods
UV / Heated Persulfate Method

Ultrapure Method TOC Measurement Basics
Unsurpassed NDIR detection for interference-free Carbon definitions:
accuracy in the parts per billion range. Requires no pumps Total Carbon = Total Inorganic Carbon + Total Organic Carbon
for minimum maintenance. Lowest MDL. Preferred for Total Inorganic Carbon = (CO2) + (H2CO3) + (HCO3-) + (CO3-2)
applications less than 1000 ppb TOC
Total Organic Carbon = thousands of simple and complex biological
Configurations and man-made compounds

Operational Theory
Selecting the appropriate TOC method for an application requires TC = Total Carbon, including NPOC,
a cost / performance trade-off analysis. POC, TIC
Does one measure...? TIC = Total Inorganic Carbon
TC - which includes NPOC, POC, TIC (interference) (H2CO3 + HCO3 - CO3-2 + CO2)
NPOC - which includes NPOC only and no TIC interference or TOC-True = Total Organic Carbon
detection of POC NPOC = Non-Purgeable Organic Compound
TOC - which includes NPOC and POC, but no TIC interference POC = Purgeable Organic Carbon (interchangeable with VOC)
To perform correct TOC analysis, the operator must measure all VOC = Volatile Organic Carbon
constituents of organic carbon present in the sample: NPOC and (aq) = aqueous phase (dissolved)
POC. It must also exclude the TIC interference.
(g) = gaseous phase
Figure 1 is a basic, commonly used technique to measure the
NPOC, sometimes referred to as “TOC-Direct”.

Acid is added to the sample, lowering its pH to approximately 2.0, at which point the carbonates present in the sample are converted to
dissolved CO2.
In the sparger, the carrier gas strips (sparges) the CO2 converted from the TIC and vents it, along with any purgeable (volatile) organics,
leaving only NPOC in the sample.
The resultant NPOC is then oxidized to CO2 in the reactor and measured by the CO2 detector as NPOC in the sample, often referred to and
reported erroneously as TOC.
Figure 2 is a preferred method of performing a “TOC-True” analysis.

A Series 6700 TOC Analyzer is comprised of 5 subsystems: required reagents, transporting them through the analyzer to the
appropriate components.
1) Sample handling
For TOC (actually, NPOC) analysis, the sample is pumped initially to
2) Inorganic Carbon removal OR Inorganic Carbon analysis / TOC- the sparger, where it is mixed with acid to lower the pH between 2.0
True method and 3.0. At that pH, all inorganic carbon / carbonates are converted

4) NDIR CO2 gas detection the air/O2 carrier gas.
At this point, any volatile organic carbon is also sparged out and
