Objective
To develop on-line analytical methods which allow the continuous or quasi-continuous monitoring of both the influent and effluent of an industrial waste water plant and at the same time give more detailed chemical information on the contaminants than DOC analyzers.
Three different instruments will be developed:
a. A new continuously or quasi-continuously operating AOX analyzer which permits the differentiation
between total F, Cl, Br and I.
b. A continuously operating HPLC instrument which does not identify the individual waste water
components, but rather the mass (molecular weight)-resolved total carbon content (HPLC instrument
with total carbon detector).
c. A gas chromatograph coupled to a new extraction unit, which extracts and enriches quasi-continuously
organic compounds from industrial waste water (Gas chromatograph with automatic trace enrichment).
While the first two instruments give a continuous, integrated view of the organic load of waste water, the third
instrument allows a quasi-continuous monitoring of individual organic compounds.
These instruments will be operated on-site at the waste water plant monitoring both the influent and the effluent
of the contaminants entering and leaving the waste water treatment plant of a chemical company. They will
allow the detection of an accidental discharge of toxic compounds into this treatment plant.
In order to establish to which extent both the sum of organic compounds as well as individual components are
monitored by these new instruments, the industrial waste water will be analyzed in addition by classical
analytical methods to be further developed.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
