Environmental Waters: surface water, bore / groundwater and storm wate
The laboratory is involved extensively with environmental monitoring programs, resource consent monitoring and research projects. We offer a range of chemical and microbiological analyses suitable for stormwater discharges, surface water and groundwater.
These tests include but are not limited to:
Nutrients Testing
- Total Oxidised Nitrogen (Nitrate & Nitrite)
- Total Kjeldahl (organic) Nitrogen
- Total Nitrogen
- Total Phosphorus
- Total Dissolved Phosphorus
- Dissolved Reactive Phosphorus
Physical Characteristics
- Total Solids
- Suspended Solids
- Total Dissolved Solids
- Volatile Solids
- pH
- Dissolved Oxygen
- Conductivity
- Turbidity
- UV absorbance / Transmittance
General Chemistry
- Alkalinity
- Ammoniacal Nitrogen
- Chloride
- Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
- Carbonaceous Biological Oxygen Demand (cBOD5)
Microbiological Testing
- Faecal coliforms
- E. coli
We can also provide metals and organics analysis.
