Water Nutrient Analysis

Veritec offers a water nutrient analysis service that can help forest owners and managers, district councils and utility companies to determine aspects of site water quality. Water quality levels give an indication of the site's environmental health.  

Water nutrient analysis can help determine fertiliser efficiency, look at the harvesting impacts of water quality and the effects of waste water irrigation on the receiving environment. High levels of nitrogen and phosphorus in water systems indicate an unhealthy ecosystem.

Inorganic anions and cations of clean environmental water samples are analysed using ion chromatography.  Spectrophotometry is used for nitrogen and phosphorus analyses of water and waste water.
