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.

Another apparatus is a COD analyzer; this is used to establish the chemical oxygen demand of wastewater. It uses the principle that measures the absorption of UV light through saturated molecules. This equipment uses the latest technology to ensure fast and reliable results. It has a unique mechanism, which helps with controlling the temperature of the reacting solution.

Conductivity meter is used to analyze the quality of drinking aqua to reduce pollution. It is also used to analyze boiler feed H20 for every industry. It incorporates an automatic temperature compensation to give accurate results. It also has a power off functioning that helps to save power for a longer time. This equipment has four conductivity standards, it is easy to operate and it is not very expensive.

A dissolved oxygen meter is another important tool used to estimate oxygen levels in aqua. It is also used when studying gaseous exchange in the soil, this process employs both the oxygen and carbon dioxide sensors to find out the respiration estimates in soil. This appliance is easy to use because of the semi automation together with auto compensation; it also has an auto shut off and consumption indicators.

To be able to tell the relation between two or more concentration standards, an Ion concentration meter has to be used. The device is fitted with an in built memory where the information is held for comparison before the reading is shown. It is designed to be used on the workbench therefore occupies a relatively small space. It has a large screen for easy reading. The key board and screen are covered with waterproof material which makes it to be very durable. The device can be attached to the computer when there is need to.

It is important to establish the alkalinity or the acidity of aqua before using it either industrially or for domestic use. To asses this, a PH meter is used. The appliance uses replaceable electrodes that are used to sense the PH of the solution. It also employs the use of microprocessor-based mechanism to generate the findings. The equipment guarantees very high accuracy levels.

An aqua toxicity analyzer is another equipment used in water testing labs to check for presence of contaminants like harmful chemicals or metals in aqua sources. An example of such chemicals is a pesticide. This equipment helps to analyze the toxicity of samples extracted from either surface aqua or sediments. They are easy to use, very reliable and are not very expensive.
