Water Testing Lab
SITARC offers a complete range of water testing services for industries across sectors like food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, health, hospitality, etc.
SITARC is accredited by NABL , BIS to test and analyse all types of drinking water and packaged water, groundwater, effluents, wastewater, etc. With advanced equipment and methodologies and a competent team, we assist businesses operate in compliance with domestic and international statutory regulations by helping them implement total water quality and safety procedures.
Pollution severely impacts the water quality making it vital to test and analyse bottled/packaged water and water storage facilities to ensure adherence to statutory regulations.
At SITARC we conduct various tests to analyse the physical, chemical and microbiological parameters and help businesses identify pollutants and sustain water quality. We also provide accurate test reports at short lead-times and affordable pricing, which is vital for obtaining relevant licenses.
Physical & Chemical Analysis Parameters
At SITARC we perform comprehensive testing and analysis to determine the physical and chemical properties of water, as they can significantly influence its usage or application. We test water samples for various parameters like pH, temperature, colour, hardness, turbidity, salinity, total dissolved solids contents, oxygen content, sodium absorption ratio, saturation index, electrical conductivity, etc.

Testing and Analysis of Synthetic Chemicals
At SITARC, we identify and quantify Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water and waste water, in compliance with national and international norms and provide necessary reports. They are synthetic chemicals produced during various manufacturing processes or the inefficient burning of garbage, coal, crude oil and fossil fuels, which are then discharged into water bodies increasing health threats.
