Wet Chemistry Laboratory

In wet chemistry unit, we measure physical, chemical and biological contaminants present in water.

Parameters Analyzed in the wet chemistry unit:

  • Physical Parameters: pH, Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature, Oxygen reduction potential, Total Suspended Solids
  • Chemical Parameters: Alkalinity, Ammonium- nitrogen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Hardness, Nitrates, Total Nitrogen, Ortho-Phosphate, Total Phosphorus, Total and Free Chlorine.
  • Biological Parameters: Chlorophyll-a
