Expertise & Services
Fully Equipped and Advance Testing Capability
Leading Through Better Water Analysis
Our laboratory operates within the requirements of ISO 17025. This applications lab, along with excellent relationships with local commercial laboratories ensure we can effectively provide analysis services and advice to our clients.
Application Studies
Reduce risk. Improve confidence.
Make data-backed decisions before you build.
Before investing in full-scale infrastructure, validate treatment options in our specialised laboratory. We simulate real-world performance using jar testing, oxidation studies (including ozone demand), and column testing with activated carbon, DMI, and ion exchange resins.
We also offer RSSCTs to support granular activated carbon (GAC) design and lifecycle planning.
Filtration Media Testing
Understand what you’ve got. Ensure it meets spec. Monitor how it’s ageing.
Confirm media compliance, performance, and condition with our in-depth analysis services. We test activated carbon, anthracite, sand, garnet, and ion exchange resins against Australian and international standards — including AS, ASTM, AWWA, NSF61, and EN12915.
Process Optimisation
From troubleshooting to long-term improvements, we’ll help your plant perform better.
We don’t just analyse water — we optimise the systems that treat it. Drawing on decades of field and lab experience, we provide practical recommendations to improve run times, reduce costs, and extend media life.
