Analytical Laboratory Testing
The information provided through these analytical services results in optimal treatment programs for customers.
• Anion Analysis testing
The anion analysis lab determines concentrations of many different analytes to very low levels
• Corrosion Analysis
Accurate corrosion monitoring is important to provide you with optimal chemical treatment programs.
• Deposit Analysis
The expert analysis of this lab helps customers reduce costs and improve operations by assisting our field representatives in recommending the most effective treatment programs available.
• Microbiological Analysis
Because microbe growth can cause a variety of problems in plants and facilities, this group helps fine-tune biocide treatment, sludge reduction programs and more.
• Water Analysis/Titrations
Scientists in this lab provide a variety of water analyses, such as tests for anions, cations,  alkalintiy, conductivity, TSS, TDS, VSS and VTS

Anion Analysis Testing
The analyses performed by the anion lab include a large number of colorimetric tests, but ion chromatography is important as well for determining such things as the concentration of many different analyses. As a result, we are able to determine analyses concentrations in highly colored or turbid samples. Our laboratory also determines very low concentrations (down to 2 ppb) for many things, including chloride, sulfate and organic acid.

Corrosion Analysis
Although several corrosion-monitoring techniques exist, the use of corrosion coupons to determine corrosion rates is popular because it is so simple and long-established.
In this method, a weighed sample of the metal or alloy under consideration is inserted into the process and later removed typically after 30, 60 or 90 days. The coupon is then cleaned of all corrosion products, re-weighted and the weight loss is converted to an average corrosion rate.
It is the purpose of this lab to facilitate corrosion measurements using metal coupons by maintaining a coupon inventory of the more commonly used alloys and providing analysis of the coupon that are returned for examination.

Deposit Analysis
This lab provides invaluable assistance to our field representatives, helping them analyze deposits well enough to identify the problem. Through this expert analysis, each field representative can recommend the most appropriate and effective solution.
Depending on the type of deposit, scientists may use X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), or – yes – the dependable microscope.
In XRF, samples are "excited" to produce x-rays that are characteristic of the individual elements present. The wavelengths and intensities of these secondary x-rays are related to the atomic number of each element present and its concentration. Each element can interact with others, so actual concentration calculations are complex and require all of the data.
FTIR uses infrared energy and then measures which energies are absorbed. Different organic functional groups and environments produce different spectra. This makes it possible to identify the functional groups present in the sample.
Our expert scientists also perform microscopic analysis to determine the specific microbial contamination in deposits. This also differentiates various microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi and other small microscopic animals and plants.

Microbiological Analysis
This lab tests water and deposits, and conducts biocide evaluation, sludge characterizations and some cultural examinations.
Biocide evaluations help determine the most effective non-oxidizing biocides for controlling microbial growth in industrial systems. Evaluations can be done on bulk water or targeted organisms.

Water Analysis
Our customer service labs analyze more than 100,000 water samples each year. A few of the most common tests involve anions, cations, alkalinity and conductivity. This laboratory also analyzes hexane extractable materials (HEM) and conducts gravimetric tests for such things as total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), volatile suspended solids (VSS), and volatile total solids (VTS).
Our team of experienced analytical chemists not only ensure test results meet stringent quality control criteria, they are also available to answer questions you may have and give technical advice on sampling and testing.
