Water

Whether your laboratory is a wastewater treatment plant, a private testing laboratory, a municipality monitoring the quality of drinking water, a research facility trying to determine the driving force of algal blooms, etc., Astoria-Pacific offers the correct tools for ion/nutrient analysis.

Our analyzers use many methods established by both the US.EPA and Standard Methods; and also include other methods that are very important to specific industries, like silica and iron anaylsis for boiler water or cyanide and phenol from various industrial effluents. We also offer several different working ranges, like 0.5 ppb – 500 ppb Orthophosphate or 200 – 2000 ppm Ammonia. Typical anlaysis rates are up to 90 samplers per hour, depending on testing requirements; for example, Ammonia Method 200-A023-A00 has been configured to run at 80 samples per hour. Moreover, discuss with one of our representatives about the advantages of alternative methods like Cyanide by in-line Distillation and UV Digestion, Phenol by in-line Distillation, or Total Dissolved Nitrogen by in-line UV Digestion.

Please call us today and ask for one of our sales or technical support staff. We’ll help you determine what system and configuration will be the best fit for your laboratory.
