Basic Purpose of Laboratory: Analyses of water and wastewater samples to determine water quality prior to treatment, organic/inorganic constituents and identification of hazardous materials present.
Range and Types of Samples: Covers all types of water and wastewater samples including: municipal potable water systems, well water and swimming pools facilities; municipal sewer systems, community and private septic systems, individual manufacturing facilities discharge points, polluted river, seawater and casual water locations.
Scope of Work and Supply: Identification of the analytical procedures to be used; determination of the instruments, equipment, and laboratory information management systems specifications, and consumables, supplies, spare parts required for the operation of a fully functioning Water and Wastewater Testing Laboratory. Thermo's scope can include project management, procurement, delivery, installation, and commissioning, training, warranty and product support, and preventive maintenance agreements to provide a fully functioning laboratory on a "turnkey" basis.
Identification of Analytical Methods to be used and determination of recognized authorities: Based on analytical procedures found in "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater" 20th Edition (1998) by the American Public Heath Association (APHA). Other reference methodologies can be used if required by geopolitical considerations.
Sampling Techniques, Frequencies and Handling: Covers the identification and implementation of industry recognized techniques for the proper taking of samples for analysis, estimations of required sampling frequency for target confidence levels and the proper temporary/long-term storage conditions of samples.
Recommended Instrument / Equipment Lists: Develop and specify instruments, equipment lists based on the selected analytical testing methods for the types of water and wastewater samples to be analyzed, includes: standard instruments for microbiological, physical and chemical testing, standard lab equipment, lab information management systems, supplies and consumables.
Laboratory Layout: Layout and design of laboratory furniture and equipment placement that takes into consideration the space available (or defining the space), sample flow, utility requirements and distribution, special requirements for hazardous sample handling, storage, sterilization, sample retention, and office/clerical/supervisory office space. Mobile, or field self-contained testing units are also considered and planned.
