There are essentially three aspects to the present invention. In a first aspect, there is provided solid-phase calibration materials for selectively imparting predetermined inorganic or organic carbon levels to a fluid stream by dissolution, comprising solids that are sparingly and selectively soluble in the fluid stream. In a second aspect, the same materials may be used as standards for calibrating an on-line or off-line carbon analyzer at predetermined TIC and TOC levels in a fluid stream. In a third aspect, there is provided a calibration system that utilizes the standards to impart predetermined levels of selected TIC and TOC levels in a fluid sample stream. In one form of the invention, a process is provided for automatically calibrating analytical instrumentation with respect to total organic carbon and total inorganic carbon. In another form of the invention, a process is provided for continuously maintaining the composition of an aqueous effluent stream from a solid phase, flow-through total inorganic carbon and/or total organic carbon calibration standard module at a predetermined standard condition.
