Waste Water Testing

Importance Of Waste Water Testing Labs In India

India is a rapidly developing country and is seeing a fast-paced widening of industrialization. When we add to this the exponentially booming population, it becomes evident that the natural resources will be taking a hit. Most of the industries release wastewaters also referred to as effluent water, and many a time due to ineffective management this polluted water enters the natural water bodies like rivers, lakes, etc. The same problem arises when the ever-increasing number of households releases wastewater also known as sewage water and it is not managed properly.
Both these kinds of water are highly contaminated and when not managed properly can trickle into water resources and be used for consumption as drinking

water or irrigational water, and both these cases are highly unwanted. This inadequate management of wastewater affects marine life by polluting our natural water reserves, depletes the soil and diminishes the yield when trickles into the irrigational water, and lastly and most severely becomes the carrier of various infections and diseases when consumed as drinking water. To deal with this issue it is important that the wastewaters released from industries and households are managed and treated. But to identify the contaminants in the wastewater of a particular region or even during a specific period of time it is important to test and analyze them. And that is where testing labs come in. This need to monitor both kinds of wastewater warrants the need for wastewater testing labs in India.

What Is Waste Water Testing

Wastewater testing is the process of testing the waste-water released from the industries or the households for the presence of harmful toxic contaminants and disease-causing pathogens. The residual water released from industries is called effluent water and the one released by households is called sewage water, and both these together form the wastewater.

The major parameters against which the wastewater tests are conducted can be divided into the following four categories:

Solids

Through these tests, the concentration of particulate solids suspended in the wastewaters is measured.

Nutrients

Here the concentration of certain nutrients that lead to the expedition of eutrophication or natural aging of water is calculated. Some of these nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorous.

Physical properties and other impact parameters

Certain parameters that affect the water’s properties such as color, odor, turbidity, PHpH, BOD, COD, etc are also analyzed.

Waste Water Services At Anacon

Wastewater is released into the environment from two major sources that are the industries and households. Industrial wastewater is referred to as effluent water, while household wastewater is called sewage water. We offer testing solutions for both these categories.

Parameters to be tested for Effluent Testing at Anacon

Effluent Water Testing

The wastewater released from industries can contain a lot of harmful toxins that can affect the surrounding biodiversity. To ensure that this doesn’t happen, it is necessary to conduct effluent water testing.

Sewage Water Testing

The wastewater released from households can contain disease causing pathogens and bacteria. It is important to test these waters and treat them appropriately.
