Environmental and Wastewater Analysis for Industrial Applications
Our Portfolio for Wastewater Analysis
The wastewater produced by DAS Environmental Expert’s customers is as diverse as the products they manufacture. Our projects therefore begin with an investigation and consultation at your site, as well as sampling and laboratory analysis. This process is completed by test procedures on a laboratory scale or the use of a pilot plant on site. In order to plan new wastewater treatment plants or to upgrade and optimise existing installations, a comprehensive analysis of the wastewater in question is necessary first of all.
The basic data, such as the wastewater volume per production day, the temperature of the wastewater and the available space, are crucial for the general design of a plant. In addition, our laboratory experts clarify questions regarding the composition of the wastewater and the ingredients. Using a customised checklist, we work with you to develop an overview of the following parameters, for example.
Analysis of important Wastewater Parameters:
- Chemical and biological oxygen demand (COD, BOD)
- Adsorbable organic halogens (AOX)
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)
- Aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX))
- Nitrogen content of ammonium (NH4‑N)
- Nitrate nitrogen (NO3‑N)
- Phosphate compounds (PO4‑P)
- Chlorides
- Heavy metals
- and more…
Chemical-Physical and Microbiological Laboratory Analysis of your Wastewater
Wastewater analysis provides the basis for recording key data and developing a complete wastewater treatment concept. Our range of services starts with the analysis of wastewater on site or in our laboratory. In addition, we carry out investigations in accordance with self-monitoring regulations, evaluate analysis results, and create technical reports and water and wastewater balances. On this basis, we identify potential for process optimisation.
Your Benefits
- Direct connection of the laboratory to the development and planning engineers
- Well-founded database for the preparation of a customer-specific process concept
- Recognising optimisation potential
- Cost savings through process optimisation
- Commissioning, sampling and optimisation from a single source
Wastewater analysis in our laboratory
After taking samples on site, we conduct a basic examination of the wastewater samples in our laboratory in Dresden with regard to their chemical composition. This enables us to develop processes on a laboratory scale.
We can Conduct the following Tests for you:
- Activated carbon tests
- Ion exchanger tests
- Drawing up breakthrough curves
- Conducting biological degradation tests
- Conducting precipitation and flocculation tests
- Conducting AOP (Advanced Oxidation Processes) tests
Wastewater Analysis using Test Facilities
On the basis of the preceding laboratory tests and the results of the applied test procedures, the project design can begin. Alternatively, the conceptual design of a pilot plant on a semi-industrial scale for a direct test run on site is possible. Our pilot plants are completely prefabricated and allow a quick analysis of even difficult-to-treat wastewater.
By using test plants, you save both investment costs and costs in subsequent operation. You can see our service for yourself before placing the order.
A pilot plant offers you the following advantages:
- Easy transport and quick installation
- Low space requirement
- Optimal dimensioning of the required large-scale plant before the investment
- Transparent proof of the efficiency of the wastewater treatment or the process combination before the investment
- Determining the subsequent operating costs
- Recording the chemical and energy requirements
- Optimal technical support from our technicians
- Professional evaluation of the test operation by experienced engineering personnel and presentation of the technology
Process Optimisation through Wastewater Technology
Increases in the amount of waste water, changes in the concentration of the waste water, changes in the substances contained in the waste water and/or changes in the water law permit often require an adjustment or addition to the existing technology.
Our laboratory for wastewater treatment can help you optimise the wastewater treatment technology that you have already implemented. The concept of green chemistry is at the forefront of our work. For us, this means increasing energy efficiency, reducing environmental pollution, applying analytical methods to monitor environmental pollution and supporting safe processes.
With an experienced team of environmental experts, DAS Environmental Expert supports its customers in process analysis and optimisation. We review existing wastewater technology in terms of its effectiveness to ensure effective partial flow treatment or complete treatment for direct or indirect discharge. Our portfolio includes, among other things:
Biological Wastewater Treatment
- Degradation of the organic load
- Nitrification (oxidation of ammonia or ammonium ions to nitrate)
- Denitrification (reduction of nitrate to elemental nitrogen)
Chemical-physical wastewater treatment
- Precipitation/flocculation
- Separation of impurities
- Activated carbon treatment
- AOP process
We support projects, such as the expansion and/or renovation of an existing plant, reprogramming of the plant control system or options for water treatment and multiple use, with our in-depth analyses and thus make a significant contribution to your operational and planning reliability.
Supplementing your Wastewater Analysis with Feasibility Studies
As part of a feasibility study, the experts at DAS Environmental Expert examine various solutions not only in terms of their suitability for the process, but also in terms of their economic efficiency. A higher level of planning security can be guaranteed through an in-depth analysis of project concepts and the early identification of risks.
Feasibility studies can be an agreed part of a comprehensive plan or a separate project. They are therefore also suitable for obtaining a second opinion on proposed solutions.
