From Heating, mixing, to drying sludge samples
Here is our top pick for your sludge sample preparation so that you don’t have to waste time browsing and comparing.
Sludge testing is essential in environmental monitoring and waste management, as it involves analyzing the by-products of industrial processes, sewage treatment, and other environmental sources. The analysis of sludge is critical to ensure it is handled, treated, and disposed of in a way that minimizes environmental and health risks. Do you run any of the following tests?
Heavy Metals Testing
- Tests for the presence of metals like lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and chromium.
Pathogen Testing
- Detects the presence of harmful microorganisms, including bacteria (like E. coli), viruses, and parasites.
Nutrient Content Analysis
- Determines levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients.
Organic Matter Content
- Measures the amount of organic carbon, which indicates the level of decomposed material in the sludge.
Moisture Content
- Determines the water content in sludge.
pH Testing
- Measures the acidity or alkalinity of the sludge.
Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP)
- Assesses the potential for leaching of hazardous substances.
Solids Analysis (Total, Fixed, and Volatile Solids)
- Determines the amount of solid material in the sludge and how much of it is organic or inorganic.
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
- Measures the amount of oxygen required to break down organic matter in the sludge.
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Dioxin Testing
- Detects the presence of these harmful chemicals.
