Gain a better understanding of your wastewater streams
Wastewater is a key concern for many organizations. Not only because of laws and regulations, but also because the composition and volume of wastewater can affect fees, permits, and operational costs.
If you have doubts about the calculation of wastewater fees based on standard coefficients, a wastewater analysis can provide a solution. A representative analysis gives you insight into the actual composition of your wastewater. This provides a reliable basis for discussions with the water authority and other stakeholders.
Tailored to Your Production Process and Situation
No two companies produce the same wastewater. That is why we tailor the analysis approach to your specific situation, production process, and research question.
Measurements and sampling take place during normal operations. This provides a realistic picture of the actual wastewater discharge.
We provide support in areas such as:
- Wastewater Sampling
- Discharge investigations
- Discharge fee assessments
- Permit application processes
- Water Act and environmental issues
- Consulting on wastewater reduction
From sampling to official reporting
Normec handles the entire process, so you have a single point of contact for planning, implementation, analysis, and reporting.
Among other things, we can:
- Take spot samples
- Collect daily samples
- Collect weekly samples
- Perform volume-proportional sampling
- Analyze samples in an accredited laboratory
- Reporting results to relevant authorities
Upon completion, you will receive an official report with the test results. If desired, measurement data can also be sent directly to the water authority.
Here’s what you’ll gain from this:
- You gain insight into the actual composition of your wastewater
- You’ll have reliable data for permits and fees
- You will comply with relevant laws and regulations
- You can identify opportunities to optimize wastewater streams
- We take care of everything for you, from sampling to reporting
Sampling in accordance with recognized guidelines
The quality of a wastewater analysis begins with representative sampling. That is why we use proven sampling methods and work in accordance with applicable standards and guidelines.
Volume-proportional sampling is a commonly used method in this context. This involves continuously measuring the volume of wastewater being discharged and automatically taking a sample for each predetermined volume. The samples are then preserved and transported to the laboratory under controlled conditions.
All measurement data are recorded digitally, ensuring that the progress of the investigation remains transparent.
More Efficient Water Management
Organizations are increasingly facing stricter requirements, higher costs, and a growing focus on sustainability. A wastewater analysis provides you with the information needed to make the right decisions.
Whether it concerns permits, fees, process optimization, or environmental performance, understanding your wastewater is the foundation for improvement.
