Global environmental challenges drive us to make a continuous contribution to improving water quality and to innovative measurement technologies.
In addition to online analysis with analytical instruments installed directly in the processes to be monitored, LAR also offers analytical instruments for laboratory use.
The COD, for example, is one of the most important sum parameters in water analysis. It is regarded as a reference for the organic load of wastewater, both in industrial and municipal applications. In general, laboratory methods are based on the use of different reagents, which often cause secondary pollution. Furthermore, laboratory analyses are more time-consuming than online methods. Therefore, LAR has further developed its high-temperature method at 1,200°C and offers a chemical-free COD analysis that is particularly environmentally friendly.
Within the scope of several international projects in the fields of river monitoring, environmental monitoring and wastewater monitoring, LAR contributes with its knowledge and expertise to the continuous development of its methods and analyzers.
