Our team will conduct a thorough analysis of your wastewater to determine its physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. We will also evaluate the relevant regulations and standards that apply to your treatment system.
At WATER CONSULTATIONS, we offer an Assessment of Wastewater Characteristics and Regulatory Requirements service to help our clients understand the composition and quality of their wastewater and the regulations that apply to its treatment. At our lab, we can conduct a variety of tests to determine the full range of characteristics of wastewater.Our assessment process includes the following characteristics:
- pH: The measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the wastewater.
- Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD): The amount of oxygen needed by microorganisms to break down the organic matter in the wastewater.
- Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD): The measure of the amount of oxygen required to oxidize the organic and inorganic matter in the wastewater.
- Total Suspended Solids (TSS): The measure of the total amount of solid particles that are suspended in the wastewater.
- Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): The measure of the total amount of dissolved solids in the wastewater.
- Nitrogen compounds (NH3, NO2, NO3): The measure of the amount of nitrogen-containing compounds present in the wastewater.
- Phosphorus (P): The measure of the amount of phosphorus present in the wastewater.
- Total Coliforms: The measure of the total number of coliform bacteria present in the wastewater.
By conducting these tests and analyzing the results, we can gain a complete understanding of the wastewater characteristics, which allows us to develop an effective treatment plan to ensure the wastewater is properly treated before being discharged back into the environment.
