BHP Laboratories is the largest independent materials testing laboratory in Ireland providing a wide range of engineering & scientific measuring, testing and analysing services to numerous industries throughout Ireland and the UK. We provide a comprehensive range of testing and analysing solutions for process water testing. This includes a combination of site and laboratory sampling, testing, and advising services.

Process water testing is essential for maintaining product quality, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance across a wide range of industries in Ireland, including pharmaceutical, medical device, food and beverage, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors. Regular monitoring helps ensure that water used in production processes consistently meets the required quality standards and is fit for its intended purpose.

BHP’s comprehensive process water testing involves the analysis of key parameters such as pH, conductivity, total organic carbon (TOC), hardness, microbiological quality, endotoxins, dissolved solids, metals, and other industry-specific contaminants. Testing programmes can be tailored to different water types, including potable water, purified water, deionised water, boiler feed water, cooling water, and water used in manufacturing processes.

Routine testing supports quality assurance, validates water treatment systems, identifies potential contamination issues, and helps organisations comply with applicable regulatory and industry requirements. Monitoring can also assist in optimising system performance, reducing downtime, and protecting equipment from scaling, corrosion, or microbial growth.

BHP is accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board (INAB) to ISO 17025 and is listed as an approved laboratory by the EPA. Our long-standing practice of laboratory testing excellence brings rigorous inspection procedures and high standards of quality control to all our operations, procedures and services. We also provide on-site sampling and testing, with a fleet of fully equipped vehicles and field operatives covering all of Ireland.
