Industrial Water Analysis: Riverwater, Borehole, and City Water, Wastewater

Chemilab offers a comprehensive analysis of water quality and characteristics for various industrial processes and applications. This involves assessing key parameters and contaminants to ensure compliance with regulatory standards, identify potential issues, and optimise water treatment and management strategies.

Accurate industrial water testing is crucial for designing mechanical pretreatment systems (such as softeners, RO systems, deionized and pharmacopoeia standard waters), maintaining operational efficiency, protecting sensitive downstream equipment, and ensuring the safety of employees and the environment.

The tested parameters include:

1. Physical Parameters: These encompass temperature, pH, turbidity (clarity), colour, and conductivity.
2. Chemical Parameters: Industrial water testing involves analysing a range of chemical constituents, such as dissolved solids, alkalinity, hardness, chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, phosphates, and heavy metals.
3. Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs): Industrial water treatment often includes disinfection processes like chlorination or ozonation, which can lead to the formation of disinfection byproducts. Testing for DBPs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and halo acetic acids, ensures the effectiveness of the disinfection process while minimising potentially harmful byproducts.
4. Trace Elements: Certain industries require monitoring of specific trace elements due to their potential impact on product quality or regulatory requirements. These elements may include arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, and others.

Sampling protocols and frequency depend on the specific industry, regulations, and characteristics of the water source and processes. The testing results are utilised to make informed decisions regarding water treatment, process optimisation, and regulatory compliance.

Chemilab’s industrial water analysis service provides accurate and reliable information to support the effective management of water resources in various industrial sectors.
