What is wastewater testing at Element?

Water being distributed for human consumption needs to be tested for safety – as does wastewater, before it can be released back into the environment.

At Element, we provide waste water testing services that provide comprehensive analysis of treated water and wastewater to verify environmental compliance. Our laboratories conduct detailed testing across physical, chemical, and biological parameters, delivering accurate results that help you meet regulatory requirements for both human consumption water and environmental discharge.
