SPECTRO Offers Efficient Spectrometric Solutions for Advanced Waste Water Analyses


Application Briefs and White Paper


The physicochemical and chemical characterization of wastewater is a valuable method for controlling the process efficiency of waste water treatment and of verifying the final quality of the effluent. Due to their multi-element determination capabilities, the high linear dynamic ranges and extreme sensitivities, optical emission spectrometers with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES), such as SPECTRO ARCOS, SPECTROGREEN or SPECTRO GENESIS, are widely used for wastewater analysis. Major, minor and trace elements can be simultaneously determined; ensuring low cost of analysis. The technology is easy to automate, which enables a large number of samples per day.
