Determining the exact composition of material can be critical for many industries and to the operation of large plant.
Identifying the composition and presence and level of any contaminants is important. This may include a spectrum of substances from water, effluent, water treatment chemicals, deposits, materials, minerals, food, organic compounds, waste products, glass and raw materials and polymers. Expert chemical analysis may be required to identify the exact composition and ensure that critical issues are controlled.
Testing services provided by HRL include expert analysis of solids, liquids and gases by:
