Chemical manufacturing
In chemical manufacturing you have to comply with multiple industry standards depending on the end market of your product, and people expect that the concentration on the label of their chemical packaging to be accurate. Testing at multiple key points during the chemical formulation process enables you to maintain compliance, and guarantee quality products to your customers.
Petrochemical
In an industry with so many regulations, it is imperative that you have careful monitoring of petroleum products from initial crude oil to finished products. Not only does testing benefit you with grading a product but it has environmental impacts as well. It has never been easier to test for moisture, maintain compliance with ASTM D664, chlorides, and more.
Plating
Plated objects and parts are used in almost every industry for safety, decoration, function, and sacrificial plating. Materials in plating can be expensive, and the last thing you want to do is waste a bath if it can be refreshed or reused. Testing throughout your process helps to achieve and maintain NADCAP accreditation, and it allows you to perfect your end product for desired thickness, finish, and color while avoiding potential pitfalls.
Water treatment
Industrial operations historically released their waste into municipal and natural waterways with little regulation but high environmental consequences. Now, you have strict regulations on waste pretreatment and municipal compliance. There is a wide range of instrumentation to test all of your parameters both in-situ and automatically.
