AIP has developed Environmental Laboratory in 1991 in an area of 200 sq m,
in collaboration with German Government to analyse, on commercial basis,
various environmental pollution parameters of different industries. The
analytical laboratory has been modernised to international standards and
equipped with fully automatic, micro processor based analytical
instruments / equipment imported from Germany such as

  • BOD, COD, DO, pH meters to facilitate the analysis of common waste water parameters
  • Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, by Perkin Elmer Germany, for critical parameters analysis like heavy metal analysis
  • selective Ion Meter, UV Spectrophotometer, field test apparatus
  • portable HACH kit for field waste water analysis
  • portable gas monitors and precision balances
  • latest field monitoring instruments to analyse different ambient air quality parameters
  • stack emission monitoring instruments from Strölein, Germany
  • Brüel and Kajer Noise level monitor from Denmark.

The laboratory analyses entire range of physical / chemical parameters of industrial environmental pollution.

Treatability studies

Representative samples of industrial effluents are collected and treatability studies of various pollution parameters are conducted in the laboratory to
 
  • identify pollution prevention and waste minimisation measures
  • identify the optimum treatment scheme for a given industrial effluent
  • analyse the existing pollution control systems for their performance capacities
  • overcome the trouble shooting
  • suggest upgradation measures
 
Expert Analysts and data validity
 
The analysts in the laboratory are highly qualified and trained practically in various analytical procedures by German experts. Various parameters of analysis are given in the Table. The analytical results and the data are technically competitive which are useful in
 
  • cost effective design
  • critical trouble shooting analysis of
  • pollution control systems
  • resource recovery and reuse practices
 
The analytical reports of NPC are acceptable by Tamilnadu Pollution Control Board
