We analyse and assess solid and fluid samples from customers from all over the world, both physically, chemically and in a mineralogical context. Our services include the analysis of underground gas samples, as well as solving complex analytical problems und developing and evaluating measurement methods and procedures.
Salt analytics
Mineral analysis
Analysis of wastewater, groundwater and surface water
From sampling to evaluation according to legal requirements (Waste Water Ordinance), we support you in all questions concerning your industrial, commercial or domestic waste water. Our laboratory is the only certified expert body according to the Thuringian Wastewater Control Ordinance (ThürAbwEKVO), here in the Kyffhäuser (northern Thuringia) region.
Analysis of solid wastes
We offer you declaration analyses in accordance with the Landfill Ordinance (DepV) and LAGA for all types of mineralogical wastes such as soil, building rubble, ashes (e.g. fly-ash) and flue-gas-cleansing residues.
Analysis of gases
Thanks to our decades-long experience with the analysis and examination of mine gases, we can also support you in evaluating your fuel gases (natural and synthesised gas and alike).
Selected large-volume orders with partly more than 500 samples per year from the field of saline deposit assessment, both solutions and salts.
