Water Analysis – Effluent water suite

Written by

The most commonly requested suite of water analysis is our effluent water suite. This includes suspended solids, ammonia and biological oxygen demand (BOD) and is often carried out on the inlet and outlet sections of water treatment systems to check the efficiency of the process.

In addition to tests required to satisfy Environment Agency (EA) guidelines, we can also accommodate testing requests to meet extra guidelines set by individual local authorities, such as testing for pH, metals, anions and organics. We can also look at the particle size of the suspended solid to determine the correct size of filter needed to remove it from the water.

Phosphine Analysis at Envirochem

Written by

We were recently provided with samples for phosphine analysis, which had been sampled on a charcoal tube. We were able to employ a documented method, which used hydrogen peroxide to oxidise the phosphine to phosphate. This was then analysed using ion chromatography. A similar method has also been employed to analyse for sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide.
