ANALYTICAL
STUDIES

We perform analytical studies that are mainly focused on fluid characterization and solid phase identification. This includes, hydrocarbons in water phase measurement by Gravimetric EPA 1664, Solvent-Free Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Infra Red Absorbance, Spectrophotometry UV-near IR and Colorimetry. Anions, Cations by Colorimetry. Solids by Millipore, NACE TM0173, Microscopy and PSD by Visual Imaging. Bacteria by ATP, pH, COD etc.

TreatabilityIcon85pxl

TREATABILITY
STUDIES

We conduct verification tests to evaluate the success rate of a proposed treatment method or to provide a solution for treatment of a specific fluid. Through our Analytical and Testing service, we evaluate a treatability request by conducting series of tests against its proprietary separation technologies and/or chemical treatment.
