A new technique for monitoring the fraction of organic components in water is presented. Characteristic feature is not the detailed analysis of single components of a sample, but the temporal continuous indication of a sum parameter, e.g., linked with a threshold value at which an alarm should be set off. Due to the short reaction time with respect to changes in the pollutant concentration, this measuring system may be efficient at critical points in process and wastewater control applications.
