Water and Environmental Testing Services
Quality Plus provides chemical and physicochemical analysis of water and wastewater for drinking, agricultural, industrial and environmental applications. Our testing services support water-quality assessment, treatment monitoring, environmental compliance and informed decisions about water use. Testing programmes can be tailored to the sample source, intended use, regulatory requirements and customer specifications, with reference to applicable WHO guidance, KEBS standards and NEMA environmental requirements.
Standards & Regulatory Framework
Our testing services are conducted in accordance with applicable international, national, regulatory, and customer-specific requirements, including:
- WHO – Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality
- KEBS – Applicable Kenya Standards and regulatory requirements
- NEMA – Applicable environmental and effluent-discharge requirements
- Customer, industry, and project-specific specifications, where applicable
Portable Water
Chemical and physicochemical analysis of drinking water to assess its suitability for human consumption. Testing includes pH, electrical conductivity, TDS, turbidity, hardness, alkalinity, chloride, chlorine, sulphate, nitrate, nitrite, fluoride, major minerals and trace elements, as applicable. Results are evaluated against relevant KEBS specifications, WHO guidance and applicable Kenyan requirements.
Irrigation & Agricultural water
Chemical testing of irrigation water to assess its suitability for agricultural use. Analysis includes pH, electrical conductivity, TDS, salinity-related parameters, sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sulphate, bicarbonate and selected trace elements, supporting irrigation management and assessment of potential effects on crops and soil.
Wastewater & Industrial Effluent
Chemical analysis of wastewater and industrial effluent to assess treatment performance and support applicable discharge requirements. Testing includes pH, BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, nutrients, oil and grease, chloride, sulphate, sulphide, and relevant metals and other chemical parameters, as applicable to the discharge and regulatory requirements.
Water Quality Analysis Services
QPlus provides water quality testing for water used on farms, in residential properties, and on commercial premises. All chemical water quality tests are conducted in line with NEMA, WHO and KEBS certified standards
Surface water
Chemical and physicochemical analysis of rivers, lakes, streams, dams and other surface-water sources to assess water quality and identify potential chemical impacts. Testing includes pH, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved solids, nutrients, major ions, organic pollution indicators, minerals and trace elements.
Swimming Pool Water
Chemical testing of swimming-pool water to support water-quality management and treatment control. Relevant parameters includes pH, free residual chlorine, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, hardness and other applicable chemical parameters
Environmental Water Monitoring
Chemical analysis of environmental water samples to establish baseline conditions, monitor changes over time and identify potential chemical contamination. Testing programmes are tailored to the water source, suspected contaminants, project objectives and applicable regulatory requirements.
Borehole & Groundwater
Chemical analysis of borehole and groundwater to assess suitability for domestic, agricultural or industrial use. Testing includes physicochemical parameters, major ions, nutrients, minerals and selected trace elements and heavy metals, helping identify naturally occurring or anthropogenic chemical constituents.
Our other laboratory services
Food Safety Testing
Food safety testing verifies that raw ingredients, processed foods, and fresh produce are completely free from dangerous contaminants and comply strictly with national and international legal residue limits.
Animal Feed Testing
Nutritional accuracy is vital whether you raise livestock for milking, laying, or slaughter. QPlus provides scientific analysis to ensure your feed meets exact animal requirements and health standards.
