Customer, industry and project-specific specifications, where applicable
Portable Water
Comprehensive testing checks for chemicals and toxic contaminants to confirm water is suitable for domestic consumption and meets municipal requirements in accordance with WHO standards.
Irrigation Water Analysis
Irrigation source water is analysed for salinity, mineral composition, and overall suitability for supporting crop health and long-term soil sustainability
Effluent Water
Industrial process water and effluent water are assessed for chemical parameters, BOD and COD to support regulatory compliance and environmental protection.

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
Irrigation water
Testing of irrigation water measures water pH and salinity together with sodium and bicarbonates levels. Elevated concentrations of these factors can restrict plant growth and, when sufficiently high, may become harmful to crops. QPlus can identify these concerns and support appropriate corrective action, particularly before significant investment is made in irrigation systems.
Drinking Water
QPlus drinking water analysis assesses the safety and quality of water supplied to residential and commercial properties, providing greater confidence in its suitability for use. A comprehensive range of tests is performed, covering minerology, physical characteristics and microbial contamination. All tests are carried out in accordance with WHO and NEMA approved standards.
Water risk analysis
Water risk analysis testing is recommended before land acquisition or investment in new projects. The assessment examines the quality and composition of the intended water source, including salts, heavy metals, pesticide residues, water borne diseases and pathogens present in the water. Understanding these risks supports informed investment decisions, while any identified concerns can be evaluated to determine suitable treatment options for safe use.
Effluent / Waste Water
Industrial water quality testing supports organisations, manufacturing companies, restaurants & lodges, and institutions in managing waste water in accordance with NEMA environment guidelines. QPlus is accredited by NEMA to provide environmental testing services, with auto-analyser equipment specifically designed for industrial waste water/ effluent analysis to deliver rapid and accurate results. These analyses serve a range of industries, including hotels, hospitals and other commercial ventures, and cover heavy metals, total microorganism count, oxygen levels and multiple other parameters stipulated by NEMA and KEBS.
