海洋沉积物分析

im体育APP provides marine sediment analysis in support of offshore survey work and helps clients comply with environmental legislation when carrying out maritime engineering projects and dredging operations.

我们的 laboratory experts have developed specific sediment sample preservation and analysis procedures, designed to maintain sample integrity and produce high-quality data, consistent with regulatory requirements.

Client projects we support include 影响评估 研究, 基线调查, 钻井工作, 近岸建设, offshore renewable energy developments, and dredging activities to create or maintain navigable waterways.

Scope of marine sediment analysis

我们的 Deeside, UK laboratory’s ISO 17025 accreditation includes marine sediment analysis and Marine Management Organisation (MMO) validation for selected determinants. We offer a wide range of analysis and our specialist technical staff provide advice on what is appropriate to our customers' specific needs – where MMO methods are not required we can often offer low-cost alternatives.

With regards to the OSPAR Guidelines for the Management of Dredged Materials our analyses include:

• Inorganics including Trace Metals
• Organotins (Tributyltin and Dibutyltin)
• Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
• Total hydrocarbon contents (THC)
• Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
• 有机氯农药(ocp)
• 总有机碳(TOC)

Most UK-based marine developments must be approved by local environmental agencies, including; the Marine Management Organisation, 海洋苏格兰, 威尔士自然资源部, and the Northern Ireland Department of 农业, 环境及农村事务. In Ireland the Marine Institute, and 环境 Protection Agency have responsibility. 

什么是海洋沉积物?

Marine Sediments have the potential to become a deposit for numerous pollutants, especially where industrial activities are commonplace, 比如航运或石油 & 天然气勘探. The study of Marine Sediments is the field of analytical chemistry associated with the impact of manmade environmental damage. im体育APP helps protect marine environments by calculating pollutant levels and working with our clients and environmental agencies to support the preservation of these ecosystems.
