LABORATORY SERVICES FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Without reliable data, any water or wastewater treatment project is nothing more than an expensive guess. At GIGWATER, our laboratory services turn technical decisions into applied science, with precise testing, realistic simulations, and practical recommendations for your industry.
We perform everything from comprehensive characterization of industrial effluents to treatability tests (Jar Tests) and bench-scale pilot tests, always with a clear objective in mind: to define the most efficient treatment route with the lowest operating costs for your specific situation. We serve industries across the country, providing detailed technical reports and ongoing support based on analytical data.
TESTS FOR
TREATABILITY
(JAR TEST)
We simulate various coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation conditions in the lab to determine the exact dosage, thereby reducing waste and costs.
COMPREHENSIVE
CHARACTERIZATION
OF EFFLUENTS
We analyze pH, turbidity, COD, BOD, water temperature, heavy metals, oils and greases, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other critical parameters to ensure compliance with CETESB and CONAMA regulations.
METAL
REMOVAL
TESTS
We conduct specific chemical precipitation tests for lead, chromium, copper, nickel, zinc, and other metals, which are essential for electroplating, tanning, and chemical industries.
FOULING
AND SCALING
STUDIES
We identify potential scaling issues in heat exchangers, membranes, and piping, and recommend preventive treatments.
LABORATORY SOLUTIONS WE OFFER
EFFLUENT
ANALYSIS
We offer comprehensive analysis of industrial effluents and monitoring of operational parameters (pH, turbidity, COD, BOD, total suspended solids, conductivity, metals, and others).
JAR TEST AND
CHEMICAL OPTIMIZATION
Using the Jar Test, we determine the type and optimal dosage of coagulant and flocculant, the optimal pH for each reaction, and the mixing and sedimentation times.
LABORATORY
PILOT TESTS
We simulate different treatment pathways and compare efficiency, operating costs, and waste generation. You choose the best pathway based on real data.
FOULING
STUDIES
We test filter media for the removal of solids, organic compounds, and metals. We also conduct fouling and scaling studies to identify risks of membrane blockage.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND FIELD ADJUSTMENTS
We monitor the start of operations through real-time field analysis. When a parameter goes out of control, we identify the cause and provide guidance on how to correct it.
VALIDATION OF RAW MATERIALS
We develop customized solutions in our laboratory. We also validate chemicals and raw materials from different suppliers before purchasing them on an industrial scale, thereby avoiding unpleasant surprises.
