Editor's Note: Innovation was a big theme at WEFTEC 2014. We'll be featuring a few of the new and better technologies found in the exhibit hall at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. Watch each day for the Innovation logo to learn more about new products displayed at the clean-water industry’s flagship exhibition and conference.

GE Power & Water, Water & Process Technologies, introduced the Sievers M5310 portable TOC analyzer, which the company says provides readings twice as fast as previous models. Designed for both raw and finished water, the unit provides reliable automated measurements, enhancing operator productivity. It recovers difficult-to-oxidize organic compounds — such as humic acid — by combining UV/persulfate oxidation with Sievers Membrane Conductometric Detection Technology. The device calculates percent TOC removal for influent and effluent streams or samples. A dashboard-style touchscreen interface simplifies operation and data review.
