Abstract
A method of automatically determining the content of inorganic carbon and/or total organic carbon in an aqueous purifying solution wherein, in program-controlled manner, (a) a sample of a predetermined volume is taken from the aqueous purifying solution; (b) if desired, the sample is freed of solids and/or homogenized; (c) if desired, the sample is diluted with water in a ratio which has been preset or is determined as a result of a preliminary analysis; (d) the inorganic carbon and/or total organic carbon is analysed using known methods; and (e) the result of the analysis is transmitted to a remote location and output and/or stored on a data carrier and/or used as the basis of further calculations. Program-controlled or automatic, externally-initiated checking of the measuring device is provided. Bath treatment measures may be implemented in program-controlled manner or in response to external triggering.
