An apparatus is disclosed for monitoring the quality of water, said apparatus comprising a first heated zone, means for introducing at least a portion of said water into said first heated zone, means for gently evaporating at least part of the water in the first heated zone and passing the vapor into and through a second heated zone, means for maintaining the temperature of said second heated zone in the range of from about 450°to about 1000°C., means for collecting and condensing vapor from said second heated zone to condensed liquid water and means for measuring the electrical impedance of at least a portion of said condensed liquid water.

A process for monitoring volatile organic compounds in water comprising gently boiling at least part of a portion of said water into a reforming and/or oxidizing zone at substantially atomospheric pressure having a temperature in the range of from about 450°to about 1000°C., whereby reformable and/o

A process for monitoring volatile organic compounds in water comprising gently boiling at least part of a portion of said water into a reforming and/or oxidizing zone at substantially atomospheric pressure having a temperature in the range of from about 450°to about 1000°C., whereby reformable and/or oxidizable volatile organic compounds in said water are reformed and/or oxidized at least in part into second compounds volatile in said temperature range which second compounds are at least partially soluble in water and at least partially ionizable therein, collecting and condensing at least part of the water vapor from said reforming and/or oxidizing zone into condensed liquid water and measuring the electrical impedance of said condensed liquid water. In an apparatus adapted to remove at least in part organics from water having in combination therewith an instrument for monitoring volatile organic compounds in effluent water from said apparatus, said compounds reformable and/or oxidizable at temperatures in the range of from about 450°C. to about 1000°C. in the presence of water vapor and/or air and/or oxygen at substantially atmospheric pressure, said instrument comprising a reforming and/or oxidizing zone, means for controlled, nucleated boiling of at least part of a portion of said effluent water into said zone, electric heating means for maintaining the temperature of said zone in the range of from about 450°to about 1000°C., means for collecting and condensing water vapor from said zone to condensed liquid water and means for measuring the electrical impedance of at least a portion of said condensed liquid water.
