The RDI service "Determination of the physico-chemical parameters of drinking water, waste water, groundwater or surface water by electrochemical methods, using the WTW Inolab IDS Multi 9430 multiparameter meter" provides a rapid and accurate assessment of essential water quality indicators. Using a laboratory multiparameter platform, the service allows the simultaneous or successive measurement of the electrochemical and physical parameters that are relevant to the characterisation of water samples, according to the requirements of the application and the type of matrix analysed.
The measurements carried out are useful for monitoring drinking water quality, assessing waste water, characterising groundwater and surface water, and controlling technological processes in which water quality influences the performance, safety or conformity of products. The service can support research activities, quality control, environmental monitoring, technological verification and the preliminary evaluation of samples ahead of complementary analyses.
The beneficiaries of the service are companies, public institutions, laboratories, economic operators and organisations active in fields such as environmental protection, agriculture, the food industry, the chemical and petroleum industries, metallurgy, the steel industry, semiconductors, cosmetics and other sectors in which the control of water quality is relevant to the processes carried out.
The analyses are performed using the WTW Inolab IDS Multi 9430 multiparameter meter, standard materials for calibration and method verification, specific electrodes and the auxiliary equipment required for sample preparation and measurement. Through this infrastructure, ICSTM provides reproducible experimental data, useful for sound decisions on water quality, the optimisation of processes and compliance with the applicable technical requirements.
