This column introduces a case where the municipal wastewater facility in Istanbul, Turkey, monitors the total organic carbon (TOC) to directly measure all organic matter before it enters urban areas, thereby monitoring the organic load of industrial wastewater. This has resulted in not only environmental conservation but also many other benefits. In Japan, there is a growing demand for long-term and continuous online monitoring using TOC, which can directly measure all organic matter in a short time, as a replacement for the conventional management of COD and BOD in wastewater that, once contaminated, cannot be reversed. We hope this information will be helpful for future policy considerations. For more details, please refer to the related links.

In this column, we introduce a case of TOC meter renewal at the wastewater treatment plant of the German recycled paper manufacturer Steinbeis Papier. The company has been using a high-temperature combustion oxidation method for TOC measurement for many years. While they were satisfied with this method, there were many cases where the measurement range of the existing product was insufficient. It was believed that in order to maintain the continuous reliability of online TOC values, which are essential for accurate plant control and trouble-free TOC decomposition, replacement due to equipment aging was necessary. Therefore, taking this opportunity for renewal, they decided to introduce a new analytical device to measure the TOC content at the entrance and exit of the wastewater treatment plant.

VFA is volatile, making it difficult to measure in the lab. Moreover, online measurement is often considered impossible, but the Hack 4 Ultra has the optimal VFA meter, the EZ series, to solve this challenge. With the VFA meter EZ series, you can automatically measure pH, alkalinity, and volatile fatty acids. Additionally, it has an automatic cleaning function, which addresses common issues encountered during online measurement, such as "high SS and residues in the sample." By introducing this device, you can reduce the risk of acidification in the methane fermentation layer and optimize the process.

• Analytical Equipment and Devices

The online VFA meter EZ7200 series is a high-performance online titration device designed for monitoring wet anaerobic digestion tanks. It proposes a new management method for medium to large-scale anaerobic digestion processes. In biomass power generation, industrial wastewater, and sewage treatment, the anaerobic treatment of wastewater and sludge in fermentation tanks involves the breakdown of very complex organic carbon compounds, which presents challenges. Real-time measurement of VFA (volatile fatty acids) is effective for stabilizing the methane fermentation tank in anaerobic treatment. Relying solely on pH measurement and sampling can make it difficult to monitor the conditions inside the fermentation tank, depending on the timing. The ideal pH value inside the fermentation tank is said to be between 6.5 and 7.5, but measuring pH alone is not sufficient; adequate buffering capacity [total alkalinity TAC (also referred to simply as alkalinity)] is necessary to compensate for changes in acid concentration. By continuously monitoring VFA, which are intermediate substances during methane fermentation, it contributes to maintaining a more stable fermentation tank and maximizing gas production. By conducting online measurements at 10-15 minute intervals, it becomes possible to anticipate various events within the digestion tank in advance.
