Supercritical Water Oxidation Technology

Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) Technology is a specialized method used to determine the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in water for pharmaceutical purposes. In this approach, water samples containing organic compounds are subjected to an oxidation process under supercritical water conditions, where water is heated and pressurized beyond its critical point. This extreme environment enhances the oxidation of organic carbon, converting it into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). SCWO is a powerful and efficient technique for TOC analysis, ensuring accurate quantification of organic impurities in pharmaceutical-grade water. This technology plays a critical role in pharmaceutical quality control, helping to maintain the safety and purity of water used in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
