Equipments Used In Water Testing Labs

By Marissa Velazquez


Water testing labs are very important for successful study of aqua analysis. They help with distinguishing H20 that is good for domestic consumption and that which is only fit for industrial work. For the smooth running of these institutions, special equipment and chemical substances are used to assess the suitability of aqua. Recent inventions have come up with useful test kits that make the work a bit easier. Shared below are some of the equipment that these institutions cannot operate without.

To be able to establish short-term demand of biological oxygen in wastewater, a BOD analyzer has to be used. They are equipped with software to manage data and a control unit to manage the blending process in the laboratory. It is equipped with a 10.4-inch touch screen, which enables easy viewing. It also provides for BOD and gaseous exchange activities to be visualized as it occurs.

To be able to find out the chemical oxygen demand of wastewater, a COD analyzer must be used. This applies the principle of measuring UV light absorption through a high concentration of molecules. This equipment exploits the latest technology to realize reliability and speed in testing. A unique mechanism is incorporated that ensures that the temperature of the reacting solution is controlled.

In order to reduce pollution, the quality of drinking aqua should be assessed using a conductivity meter. This apparatus is also used to analyze all H2O fed into the boiler of an industry. It has an inbuilt temperature stabilization mechanism to ensure reliable findings. It is fitted with a power regulation function that helps to save power. It goes through four steps of conductivity standards and it is very easy to operate as well as cheap to acquire.

To determine oxygen levels in aqueous solutions, a dissolved oxygen meter is used. This gadget is also commonly used in studying of soil respiration, this involves the use of both oxygen and carbon dioxide sensors to establish the values regarding respiration in the soil. The appliance is easy to operate as it is semi automated with auto compensation, auto shut off not forgetting consumption gauges. It is supplied with an LCD screen for result display.

An ion concentration meter is always used to establish the relation between two or more concentration standards. It has an inbuilt memory where it holds the information for comparison before displaying the reading. It occupies a small space as it is designed to operate from a bench top. It has features like large LCD for easy reading and enjoys structural strength for durability. Both the keyboard and display cannot be affected by water. It also has a provision for connection to a computer.

Aqua is widely used for various functions some of which are sensitive to acidity or alkalinity. A PH meter is therefore a useful apparatus for establishing the suitability of water in different situations. The gadget uses the replaceable electrodes to carry out the test in the intended solution. It also uses a microprocessor-based method to process the results. It meets a high level of accuracy requirement.

Water testing labs are never complete without the availability of a toxicity analyzer. This is an important equipment for detecting the presence of aqua contaminants like hazardous chemicals or metallic substances in the aqua source. Samples of aqua in form of sediments or surface water are used to establish its purity. This appliance is easy to operate, very accurate and cheap to buy.
