Environmental & Wastewater Analysis

Precise analyses as the basis for efficient and safe wastewater treatment.

The Basis of All Wastewater Treatment: Precise Analysis and Sampling

Our customers' industrial wastewater is as diverse as their products. That is why every project at DAS Environmental Experts begins with a thorough and individually tailored examination of your wastewater – both directly at your site and in our specialised laboratory. Careful sampling and comprehensive analysis are crucial for reliably assessing the actual composition, fluctuations and pollution levels.

Based on the data obtained, we carry out detailed laboratory analyses and specific test procedures on a laboratory scale or using our mobile test facilities. This enables us to simulate various treatment processes in a realistic manner and determine the optimal process steps for your requirements. This thorough preparatory work forms the basis for the safe design of new wastewater treatment plants or the targeted optimisation of existing systems.

Working with you, our laboratory experts use a structured, project-specific checklist to record all relevant parameters – chemical, physical and microbiological. This ensures that your wastewater will not only be treated efficiently and in compliance with legal requirements, but also in a sustainable and resource-efficient manner.

Analysis of important Wastewater Parameters

  • Chemical and biological oxygen demand (COD, BOD)

  • Adsorbable organically bound halogens (AOX)

  • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)

  • Aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene)

  • Nitrogen content of ammonium (NH₄-N)

  • Nitrate nitrogen (NO₃-N))

  • Phosphate compounds (PO₄-P)

  • Chlorides

  • Heavy metals

  • and more...

Laboratory Analysis as the Key to Planning, Optimisation and Safe Wastewater Treatment

Chemical-physical and microbiological laboratory analysis is crucial for the planning and optimisation of industrial wastewater treatment plants. After sampling on site, we analyse your wastewater comprehensively in our laboratory in Dresden – from basic analysis and tests in accordance with self-monitoring regulations to the preparation of technical reports and water and wastewater balances. This data forms the basis for a robust, process-oriented concept and identifies potential for optimisation at an early stage.

Thanks to the direct link between our laboratory and development and planning engineers, you benefit from a sound data basis, efficient concept development and seamless implementation. Commissioning, sampling and process optimisation are carried out from a single source, which means that operating costs can be reduced in the long term.

We use a range of specialised test procedures for process development on a laboratory scale, including:

  • Activated carbon tests

  • Ion exchange tests

  • Preparation of breakthrough curves

  • Biological degradation tests

  • Precipitation and flocculation tests

  • AOP tests (advanced oxidation processes)

Process Optimisation through Modern Wastewater Technology

Changes in the volume, concentration or composition of industrial wastewater, as well as new water legislation requirements, often necessitate adjustments to existing wastewater technology. Our laboratory supports you in adapting your plants to current challenges and operating them more sustainably. We analyse existing systems in terms of effectiveness and energy efficiency and develop measures for optimisation – always with a view to resource-saving, ‘green chemistry’. This includes the reduction of pollutants, efficient process control and the use of modern analytical methods for monitoring.

Wastewater Analysis with Pilot Plants – Practical, Fast and Reliable

After laboratory testing and initial test procedures, the precise project design begins. Our prefabricated test facilities are available for this purpose, enabling direct test runs on a semi-industrial scale – even with wastewater that is difficult to treat. This allows us to simulate real operating conditions and ensure the best possible design for your future plant.

Your advantages when using a test plant

  • Real-time evaluation of the cleaning process

  • Lower investment costs thanks to precise design

  • Lower operating costs thanks to optimised processes

  • Faster decision-making

  • Full insight into performance and service – even before the project order

Process for the Treatment of Wastewater

DAS Environmental Experts works with a broad portfolio of biological, mechanical and chemical-physical wastewater treatment processes. Our team designs individual wastewater treatment processes for you that are tailored to your needs and requirements and that you can rely on.

Supplementary Feasibility Studies for Reliable Decisions

Before implementing a new wastewater treatment technology or expanding an existing plant, we conduct feasibility studies to examine various processes in terms of their technical suitability and economic viability. This allows you to identify risks at an early stage, evaluate alternatives and obtain a reliable basis for decision-making.

Feasibility studies can:

  • Be part of an overall project

  • Be carried out as an independent assessment

  • Be used to obtain a second expert opinion

They increase your planning security and support the economically viable implementation of your project.
