Wastewater and Sludge Sampling and Analysis
One of the byproducts of a complex, technology-oriented society is an enormous number of waste products. Understanding the importance of proper sample collection and the relationships among components of a liquid waste stream are key to producing accurate, representative analytical data. At Northern Lake Service we are committed to just that.
NLS has over 20 years of experience analyzing challenging wastewater matrices from paper mills, foundries, plating companies, food processing plants and municipal treatment facilities of all sizes.
NLS provides full-service capabilities, meaning the convenience of dealing with one laboratory for all your analytical needs.
Our composite sampling capability and highly experienced field staff ensure representative collection and proper sample handling.
Our internally developed tracking system ensures you receive your data in time to meet compliance reporting deadlines.
A shipping schedule can be developed to ensure proper bottles arrive at your facility well in advance of routine sampling. And, our commitment to client service means "last minute" bottle orders are usually on your doorstep the next day.
Our experienced client services staff is available to assist with complicated permit paperwork.
Our staff is prepared to provide both sampling (by EPA method 1669) and analysis (by EPA method 1631) to meet the strict new low levels mercury requirements of many states.
We have performed numerous matrix specific studies dealing with very low-level mercury and other metals for certification and permit variances. We have also performed matrix detection limit studies on pesticides and PCB's in wastewater. These studies have demonstrated our expertise and have provided the Wisconsin regulatory community a high level of confidence in our attention to quality and detail.
