Water Analysis
We measure and analyze water parameters to evaluate water quality and identify potential sources of contamination for surface water, groundwater, fresh water, seawater, industrial wastewater, sewage water.
Parameters Measured, Not Limited to:
Indicates the acidity or alkalinity of water, impacting aquatic life and water chemistry.
Reflects water’s ability to conduct electricity, linked to dissolved salts and minerals.
Measures the total concentration of dissolved substances, affecting water taste and quality.
Assesses organic pollutants by measuring oxygen needed for microbial decomposition and chemical oxidation.
Quantifies particles suspended in water, which can reduce light penetration and harm aquatic ecosystems.
Includes lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, which are toxic even at low concentrations.
Indicates hydrocarbons' presence, which can harm aquatic life.
A toxic compound that can cause odor issues and harm aquatic organisms.
Measures the sum of organic nitrogen, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, which can contribute to eutrophication.
Measures phosphate levels, which can contribute to algal blooms and eutrophication.
High chloride levels can indicate pollution from industrial discharge or road salt.
Indicates pollution from agricultural runoff or sewage, toxic to aquatic life at high concentrations.
Measures oxygen levels in water, critical for aquatic life survival.
Monitoring Techniques:
- Sampling Protocols: Collect samples from ground water, surface water, sea water, wastewater treatment facilities at specified frequencies using suitable containers.
- Analysis Methods: Utilize a range of techniques, including:
Spectrophotometry: For measuring absorbance of light in water samples to determine concentrations of various components. - Gravimetric Analysis: For determining the quantity of suspended solids and dissolved salts.
- Optical Emission Spectroscopy: For detecting and quantifying heavy metals.
- Gas Chromatography: For analyzing organic compounds, including VOCs and SVOCs.
- Titrimetric Analysis: For determining concentrations of, hardness, and alkalinity.
- Ion-Chromatography (IC): For measuring specific anions like nitrate, nitrite, chloride, bromide, fluoride, chlorate, chlorite, sulfate, phosphate and bromate in water.
- Solvent Extraction: For determining total oil and grease in water.
