Wastewater Testing

Wastewater generally refers to the water discharged by people in the process of living and production. It includes production water, domestic sewage and industrial wastewater, and other wastewater. If wastewater (toxic) does not undergo strict treatment as well as meet the discharge standard, it will directly flow into channels, rivers and lakes to pollute surface water, which will affect the normal survival of aquatic plants and animals; when it infiltrates into groundwater and pollutes groundwater, it will affect the health of residents who use water in the surrounding area; when wastewater infiltrates into soil and causes soil pollution, it will affect the growth of plants and microorganisms in the soil. BOC Sciences provides wastewater testing and designs wastewater treatment solutions for customers. Detection instruments include high performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, ICP, etc.

Testing Services

BOC Sciences can provide testing of produced water, domestic wastewater and industrial wastewater, analyzing the chemical contaminants contained in wastewater, such as organic pollutants, inorganic compounds, iron and other heavy metals. We have the analytical instruments and technology to help our clients analyze the content of each component in wastewater and provide solutions according to international wastewater discharge standards to minimize the harm to the environment and various organisms. Our currently available testing programs as well as testing content are listed below. If the service you want is not in the list below, you can contact us and my water quality experts will customize an exclusive solution for you.

Wastewater testing items

pH, suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand, nitrogenous compounds, phosphates, chlorine, silicates, calcium and magnesium, iron, microbiological analysis, etc.

Production water testing

Cooling water and boiler water analysis is critical for power plants as well as chemical, pharmaceutical, technical, food and beverage manufacturers. Monitoring of silicate, calcium and magnesium levels is essential, otherwise scaling can cause excessive maintenance costs and long downtime. In addition, iron content is monitored as an indicator of system corrosion.

Domestic sewage and industrial wastewater testing

The wastewater treatment process is divided into four main steps.

1. In the first step, all large and precipitable solid particles are removed from the wastewater.
2. In the second step, organic pollutants are removed using fast-growing microorganisms.
3. In the third step, both chemical and biological methods are combined to reduce the nutrient load in the wastewater.
4. The fourth step is to remove persistent emerging contaminants.

Each step requires analytical testing to monitor key chemical parameters such as nitrogen-containing compounds, phosphate and chlorine.

Wastewater Testing Technology

Wastewater detection techniques include microbiological detection based on culture or molecular techniques and chemical detection based on analytical methods such as spectrophotometry, pH, conductivity and turbidity. For the analysis of trace contaminants in water, wastewater or acid-soluble solids higher sensitivity methods are required, such as ICP-MS or ICP-AES for low concentration detection at the ppb level.

Treatability Testing

If the detection of wastewater is particularly complex or requires several treatment techniques to meet effluent discharge goals, we offer treatability testing. This service can be performed on water samples in BOC Sciences' specialized laboratory or on wastewater sidestreams at your site. During the treatability test, water technology sizing and energy consumption are optimized to show the most cost effective treatment results. This service ensures that you can select the best conditions to treat your water for its intended use.
