Water Testing

Water quality testing is imperative to ensure that effluent is of a sufficient quality to meet your trade effluent standards or environmental regulations.

The determination of specific water pollutants, their concentrations or levels of COD (amongst other matrix) enables our quality water specialists to recommend the correct water treatment process to meet your water quality targets.

We do this by conducting wastewater analysis at our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities in Cheshire, UK. We also offer water treatment testing which involves putting our recommendations into practice on a trial scale before you make any capital equipment investment, for complete peace of mind.

The first stage in a water treatment project is to understand the nature of the water in need of treatment. Some of our clients have their own basic water testing capabilities, but at Arvia, our onsite water testing lab is equipped with some of the most advanced analytical technologies.

These technologies enable us to conduct analyses from basic COD, BOD and TOC levels to the determination of specific pollutants down to part per billion (ppb) and part per trillion (ppt) ranges.

Once we gather an understanding of the nature of the water and the final water quality target, our quality water specialists can make recommendations for which water treatment products will combine to effectively meet your individual requirements.

In the case that the water matrix is particularly complex or requires several treatment technologies to reach the effluent target, we offer a Treatability Trial. This service is either conducted on a sample of the water at Arvia’s onsite laboratory or on a live side stream of wastewater at your site.

During a Treatability Trial, water technology sizing and energy consumptions are optimised to indicate the most cost-effective treatment results.

This service ensures that optimal conditions are selected to treat your water for its intended use.

Following the treatability trial, the purchase of a full-scale Nyex™ water treatment process is straightforward. Once we understand your individual requirements, our specialists scale the Nyex™ reactor tanks to suit your effluent flow rate then deliver and commission the system at your site.
