Effluent testing in Ireland ensures compliance with EPA and local authority Trade Effluent Discharge Licences. It involves analysing industrial or commercial wastewater for parameters like heavy metals, BOD, nutrients, and coliforms to prevent environmental pollution. Testing is performed regularly, such as daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on the facility and the regulations. The test results are reported to regulatory agencies, who can then use the information to ensure that you comply with environmental regulations.

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.
