Water Analysis
The Environmental Laboratory, which primarily conducts water analysis, consists of a wide variety of devices and equipment. It analyzes various types of water to determine its suitability for various uses, such as drinking, irrigation, and industrial purposes, by comparing the results with international standards. Wastewater from various industries is also evaluated to determine its compliance with local disposal specifications. Furthermore, the laboratory performs the necessary tests for annual research plans and consulting work carried out by the Center’s staff. The most important water tests are:
Acidity (pH)
Electrical conductivity (EC)
Chemical oxygen demand (COD)
Biological oxygen demand (BOD)
Phosphorus – phosphate (PO4)
Nitrogen – nitrate (NO3)
Sulfur – sulfate (SO4)
Total solids (S)
Dissolved solids (DS)
Suspended solids (SS)
Chloride salt (Cl-)
Hardness College T.H.
Calcium Hardness (Ca.H)
Basicity (Alk)
Heavy Elements
Some Heavy Element Tests
Lead, Copper, Cadmium, Iron, Cobalt, Chromium, Zinc
Oils and Greases
The center conducted laboratory tests for the following entities:
1. Testing the water coming out of the oil separators of the Mosul Gas Power Plant
2. Testing chlorides and sulfates in the water of the Mosul Gas Power Plant
3. Testing the industrial water of the new Badoush Cement Plant
4. Testing the drinking water of the new Badoush Cement Plant
5. Testing the industrial water of the Badoush Cement Plant Expansion
6. Results of the three-dimensional model test of the Sinjar Cement Plant
7. Testing the percentage of the active ingredient chlorine available to the Nineveh Water Directorate
8. Testing well water samples from various areas of Mosul city to determine their suitability for various uses
9. Conducting chemical and physical tests for master’s and doctoral students
