Industrial Water Analysis Laboratory
Whether you need to diagnose a malfunction in your wastewater treatment plant, validate a flow, or characterize water prior to reuse, responsiveness is our top priority. Ovive’s in-house laboratory handles your industrial effluents: you send us your samples, we perform the tests, and we provide you with results that are immediately actionable.
Ovive’s in-house laboratory is not COFRAC-accredited. Our analyses are strictly intended for daily technical monitoring, emergency diagnostics, and campaigns to guide your processes.
When should you contact the Ovive laboratory?
In-house laboratory analysis takes place at key points in the management of your water cycle:
Troubleshooting
Decreased performance of your wastewater treatment plant, pH drift, foam formation, or suspected toxicity affecting the biomass.
Periodic Characterization Campaign
Monitoring changes in pollutant loads resulting from changes in production rates or production methods.
Technical Orientation Tests
Conducting preliminary flocculation, coagulation, or adsorption tests to assess the impact of a new treatment.
Self-Monitoring and Safety
Internal quality checks on your rejects to prepare for official regulatory inspections.
Types of Water and Effluent Handled
- Raw industrial effluents: characterization of the pollutant load at the end of the production process.
- Process water and utilities: monitoring the quality of boiler blowdown or cooling tower blowdown.
- Treated wastewater: monitoring treatment effectiveness prior to discharge or in preparation for a wastewater reuse project.
- Leachate and Complex Waters: Characterization of Highly Contaminated Fluids or Percolation Water.
Examples of Parameters and Pollutants Analyzed
Our laboratory is specifically equipped to characterize the most challenging water samples—those where standard facilities reach their limits. We work with matrices that offer significant technical value and monitor key environmental indicators:
- General pollution indicators: pH, conductivity, total and filtered COD, BOD₅, suspended solids (SS), TOC, MVS, MST…
- Nutrients and nitrogen cycles: ammonium, nitrogen (NGL), total phosphorus, phosphates, nitrates, nitrites…
- Analysis of metals and dissolved metals: chromium VI, aluminum, iron, nickel, lead, zinc, cadmium, mercury, copper, and manganese.
- Salts, anions, and mineral content: chlorides, sulfates, fluorides, TAC, TH, silica…

Customized campaigns, ideal for monitoring changes in pollutant levels or verifying the effectiveness of an ongoing treatment at a controlled cost.
Process for Sending Your Samples
We’ve eliminated all logistical hurdles so that analyzing your industrial wastewater becomes second nature, without wasting any time. Ovive provides you with the appropriate bottles and packaging, along with a customized shipping service (on-site pickup or drop-off at a pickup location).
- Scope: Defining the list of parameters to be analyzed with our technical teams.
- Shipping: Send your effluent samples to our laboratory in accordance with our storage instructions.
- Delivery: The analytical report will be sent within 72 hours.
From characterization
to pilot testing
Accurately characterizing your water is often the first step in a broader assessment. If your test results reveal non-compliance issues or complex variations, our laboratory can also be called upon to conduct pilot-scale experiments.
This technical approach in a controlled environment makes it possible to:
To explore and validate the operating principles of a treatment process prior to its implementation.
Evaluate the effectiveness of a solution (filter media, membranes) using water representative of your site.
Identify the key parameters that influence the process in order to optimize performance and minimize design uncertainties.
