Water analysis

Analysis and controls for the management of water resources

Chemical analyzes, field measures and control activities on drinking, well, groundwater and discharge water, in support of companies, professionals and institutions.

water matrices subject to analysis

From the verification of the chemical characteristics of the water to the control of drains and treatment plants: each activity is defined according to the matrix and purpose of the investigation.

drinking and well waters

Analyzes aimed at knowing the characteristics of the water and identifying the possible presence of contaminants.

groundwater and piezometric waters

Withdrawals, measures and analyzes used in the characterization and monitoring of underground water resources.

waste water

control of the chemical parameters of waste water for their classification and for the checks required by the applicable legislation.

swimming pool waters

Analysis and verifications useful to check the characteristics of the water and verify the correct functioning of the swimming systems.

Measures directly in the field

on site determination of the chemical-physical parameters of groundwater by means of dedicated instrumentation.

control of purification plants

Analysis and verifications useful for evaluating the functioning of the plants and the effectiveness of water treatment processes.

The analytical data as a control tool

Each water matrix requires specific analytical and test methods, defined on the basis of the type of water and the objectives of the monitoring.

The characteristics of a water may vary in relation to its origin, the activities present in the area and the treatments to which it is subjected. For this reason, there is no control valid for every situation.

The choice of parameters arises from the objective of the investigation: to check a well water, monitor a water table, classify an drain or check the operation of a purification plant.

The sampling activities, the measures in the field and the subsequent chemical determinations allow us to reconstruct a coherent and usable framework in environmental and management assessments.

organic contaminants

Research and determination of organic substances in the matrices subjected to analysis.

Inorganic contaminants

Identification and quantification of metals and other inorganic compounds.

Chromatography

instrumental techniques used to separate and determine the substances present in the sample.

Spectrometry

Instrumentation dedicated to the identification and quantification of the different analytes.

Beyond the test report

The quality of water is an essential aspect for the protection of health, the environment and production processes. Eurolab provides an ISO / IEC 17025 accredited laboratory for the execution of analyzes on different types of water, including drinking, waste, surface, groundwater and process waters.

The analytical activity allows you to verify compliance with regulatory requirements, identify any contamination and support companies, public bodies and managers in assessing the quality status of the water resource. Thanks to reliable methods, dedicated equipment and qualified personnel, Eurolab guarantees accurate, traceable and useful results for the control, prevention and management of various problems related to the water matrix.

What happens to a sample when it arrives in the lab

Before the measurement, each sample is identified, prepared and treated according to the intended method. This is followed by the determination of the parameters, the control of the data obtained and the preparation of the test report.

These are hardly visible but decisive steps: the quality of the result also depends on the correct management of everything that happens before and after the instrumental analysis.

Preparation

The sample is identified and subjected to the planned preliminary treatments, defined on the basis of the characteristics of the matrix and the parameters to be searched for. Each step allows you to prepare it correctly for the subsequent instrumental analysis phase.

Determination

The tests are performed by applying the analytical method envisaged and using the most suitable instrumental technique for the substances to be identified and quantified. The different operational phases are conducted according to defined and controlled procedures.

Validation

The data obtained are examined and verified by the technical staff to ascertain their consistency before confirmation. At the end of the checks, the validated results are reported in the test report intended for the customer.
