Valuable information about drinking water processes can be acquired in a matter of minutes by synchronous measurement of fluorescence and absorption. An innovative monitoring device for simultaneous quantification of humic substances, tryptophan containing proteins and chlorophyll-a of different algae classes, as well as measurement of SAC has been developed. Moreover the differentiation of humic substances into two major groups with different molecular masses delivers essential insight into the different treatment steps and their efficiency. This instrument makes monitoring of short and long term changes in the raw water fast and reliable.
