UV254 ORGANICS MONITOR

UV1 with HydroACT Series
DESCRIPTION

Organics

The UV1 Organics Sensor, when combined with a HydroACT analyzer, provides
online continuous organics monitoring utilizing a 254 nm ultraviolet light source.
The amount of light absorbed provides an ongoing indication of natural organic
matter (NOM) in a flowing sample, and serves as a continuous surrogate
measurement for total organic carbon (TOC). More specifically, UV254 is the best
detector of aromatic or reactive organics, which when combined with chlorine, can
form disinfection byproducts (DBPs). The patent pending Ortho-Beam technology
provides many significant advantages while maintaining affordability. The
sensor’s unique ability to automatically detect and compensate for UV lamp
fluctuations and quartz fouling, minimizes losses in accuracy over time, and
significantly reduces maintenance.
