Water physico-chemistry
To guarantee water quality,
control physico-chemical parameters
The physico-chemical quality of water is an essential indicator for ensuring regulatory compliance, preserving industrial processes and protecting natural environments. Parameters such as pH, conductivity, turbidity, hardness, nitrates, nitrites, chlorides, sulphates, ammonium, total organic carbon (TOC) and suspended solids help assess water characteristics and detect any anomalies or sources of pollution.
Whether it concerns water intended for human consumption, process water, industrial water, groundwater, surface water or discharge water, regular monitoring of these parameters is essential to ensure regulatory compliance, control contamination risks, optimise manufacturing processes and protect facilities.
