BHI Labs Analysis Services
Perfect for:
Environmental testing
The main application is environment (food, water, soils, plant tissue sludge’s, air…) as there is a strong need to monitor elemental presence and content as it relates to human consumption and impact.
Quality Control/ Quality Assurance
The main customers are chemical, mining, precious metals and metallurgical companies. Elemental testing is used to guarantee the quality of raw materials as well as final product. Intermediate products are also analyzed so processes can be fully monitored.
Petrochemical testing
For petroleum refining and lubricant oil production, with some applications such as wear metals in oil analysis that allow preventive maintenance to be done for engines (mining trucks, airplanes etc.).
Geology/Mining/ Rare Earth
Elemental testing is widely used in mining processes, mining purity control, rocks analysis, etc. and to check purity of extracted ores or precious metals. As mining resources decrease, to analyze scrap metals and precious metals from electronic wastes.
Gardens Lawns and Landscaping
Individuals and communities around the world are showing a marked increase in connecting more directly with the environment. Whether motivated by concerns for health, environmental sustainability, food security, or perhaps by a deeper emotional need, an increasing number of North Americans are planting gardens.
