ProDetec supplies UV 254 organic analysers for continuous, real-time monitoring of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and organic load in drinking water, process water, and wastewater applications across Australia. 

UV 254 measurement (the absorbance of ultraviolet light at 254 nanometres) provides a fast, reagent-free surrogate for dissolved organic carbon and total organic carbon, enabling water treatment operators to track organic fluctuations, optimise coagulation dosing, and detect contamination events as they occur.

Without effective organic analysers, elevated natural organic matter in source water can go undetected, reacting with disinfectants during treatment to form potentially harmful disinfection by-products; a compliance and public health risk for water utilities operating under Australia’s Drinking Water Guidelines.

ProDetec supplies the Sigrist ColorPlus 3, an online UV 254 and colour analyser featuring automatic fouling correction and a long-life xenon flash lamp, all backed by local engineering support, commissioning, and long-term service capability across Australia.
