Water analyses of treated systems is an essential tool in monitoring the performance of our programs. Both field and laboratory analysis can confirm the progress of on-line cleaning and the success of maintenance treatment programs. Deposit analysis is also essential in identifying how and why deposition may have occurred and pointing to the best way to remove and prevent future deposits.

Laboratory Analyses Include:

  • Water analysis
  • Elemental analysis by ICP
  • Trace metals analysis
  • Microbiological testing
  • Ion exchange resin testing
  • RO membrane autopsy
  • Particle size analysis
  • Corrosion coupon analysis
  • Inorganic deposit analysis by x-ray fluorescence and diffraction spectroscopy
  • Organic deposit analysis by FTIR
  • Metallography/failure analysis
  • Scanning electron microscopy
  • Gas chromatography/Mass spectrometry
