Analytical Services

SMS Environmental offers a broad range of analysis to monitor for biological, chemical, physical and organoleptic parameters.

Sampling can be completed on site or in partnership with with our external UKAS accredited laboratory partner (accreditation Number 0996) and includes:

Water Analysis

• Microbiological sampling of water, including:
  Bacteria such as Legionella bacteria, Coliforms, E.coli and Total Viable Counts, Pseudomonas, Faecal streptococci, Sulphite-reducing clostridia Nitrite reducing and oxidising bacteria, Leptospira, Clostridia, Salmonella, Pyrogenicity. Protozoa such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia lambia and Entamoeba histolytica. Determination of Algae, Fungi, Yeasts and Moulds and viruses
   
• Chemical parameters (Inorganic) in water such as:
  pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Hardness, Alkalinity, Redox potential, Chlorine, Ozone, Total Dissolved Solids, Metal Species (Calcium, Sodium, Iron, Copper, Total etc), Total Heavy Metals, Non Metals (Nitrates, Phosphates etc) and Water Balance.
   
• Chemical parameters (Organic) in water such as:
  Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, PV, TOD, TOC, TIC, Volatile Organic Compounds, Aluminoid Nitrogen, TKN, OKN, Separable Oil, Total Oil, Halogenated Methanes, Pesticides, PAH, Detergents and Regulated Substances.
   
• Physical parameters in water such as:
  Flow, Conductivity, Temperature, Resistivity, Suspended Solids, Silt Density Index, Sludge Density, MLVSS, Sludge Density, SVI, SSVI & DSVL.
   
• Organoleptic parameters in water such as:
  Turbidity, Colour, Visible Oil, Tastes and Odours.

Organoleptic refers to any sensory properties of water, usually involving taste, odour and colour.

Air Analysis

• Biological such as Moulds, Fungi, Bacteria
• Physical parameters: Air velocity, Relative Humidity, Temperature, Dust and Pollen.
• Chemical Parameters: Carbon Dioxide, Carbon monoxide, Hydrogen Sulphide, formaldehyde, Volitile Organic Compounds.
• Organoleptic parameters such as Odours.
