Retsch Milling, the clear choice for soil testing, confidence with every step!

Reduction of soil samples prior to analysis

Our extensive range of mills can be used to grind soils either wet or dry. No need to change the sample by heating or time related decomposition of analytes. You can choose from open or closed types of milling. Closed vessel milling, reduces the chance of inhalation of soil compounds...

Water hardness analysis, lighten the workload

Water hardness, the concentration of dissolved calcium and magnesium in water, while not of concern for health purposes, is still a very important component of water quality. Hardness not a health risk, but ... Higher hardness in water results in scaling for industrial process, or more importantly, in the coffee...

Monitoring Boron levels in desalination plant

Request our process analytics report: Boron levels in desalination plants

The limit of boron concentration of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant permeate is 0.5 mg/L. In order to monitor Boron in an desalination plant in Australia we installed three Metrohm Process Colorimeters after careful planning and testing. with this system the boron concentration can be...

Karl Fischer Titration, accurate moisture analysis

Karl Fischer Titration for accurate moisture analysis

As moisture analysis is heavily relied upon in industry, it is imperative the basics of moisture analysis are taught. Karl Fischer titration provides the most accurate analysis for moisture. At high levels of moisture, g/L to %, Volumetric Karl Fischer titration is a fast and cost effective technique. At low...

Easy, automated analysis of water and environmental samples

As populations increase, the demand for clean water increases. Treatment of water allows the use of water sources that were previously considered unfit for human consumption. Whether removing salt in desalination plants, or removing bacteria and micro-organisms in ground water, treatment processes have come a long way. Testing these water...

The basics of water analysis, the easy way

Clean water is essential to everyday life. This results in testing water constantly. Potable water from dams, bores and desalination plants for drinking. Wastewater from industrial and private sources to avoid environmental contamination and bottled water. All of these sources are tested regularly to ensure a healthy environment and water...

Chromium, the devil you know. Or is it?

Hearing that something contains chromium produces a similar reaction to announcing something contains asbestos, no one wants to touch it. Is this fair? Not all chromium is created equal and, not all chromium is toxic. Hexavalent chrome (chromium VI) deservedly wears the label of highly toxic, and should be avoided....

Our 2035 in action monitoring Fluoride in storm water

MEP Instrument has installed a new analyser in an alumina smelter in NSW to monitor fluoride in storm water. The analyser was tailor-made to fit in the challenging environment while constantly providing accurate results with the minimum maintenance. It has been on-duty since March 2017 and provides precise and reliable...

Halides in soil: Combustion? Extraction? What is the best solution?

Traditional halide and nutrient analysis Traditionally, for soil analysis, extraction and analysis with ion exchange chromatography or flow injection analysis has been the way to go for halide and nutrient analysis in soils. The benefit of this technique is a high sample throughput and complete nutrient analysis, whether to very...

In a single run: automatic water quality analysis

The determination of various physical and chemical parameters is necessary for evaluating water quality: electrical conductivity, pH value, p and m value (alkalinity), chloride content, calcium and magnesium hardness, total hardness and fluoride content. The Metrohm Application Bulletin 178/4 describes how to determine the above-mentioned parameters in a single analytical...

Boron in desalination water

Boron, naturally present in seawater, is not something you want to be drinking a lot of. Intake per day is approximately 2 mg. For plants, boron levels are critical. Levels above 1 mg/L will destroy many crops including strawberries. Due to the toxic nature of high levels of boron, the...

Sulfide in water in accordance with ASTM D4658

They can release hydrogen sulfide in acidified water, which is toxic in even minuscule amounts. The ISE Application Note I-013 "Sulfide in water in accordance with ASTM D4658" describes the determination of sulfide concentration in water via direct measurement with the Ag/S-ISE in accordance with ASTM D4658.
