This test allows the quick and easy determination of Phosphate in solutions. It comes with all necessary reagents so that the measurement can immediately be started. Within 2 minutes one gets a reliable result.
In surface water, the presence of high phosphate concentrations may indicate domestic waste discharge, fertilizer runoff or the presence of industrial effluents or detergents. The phosphate content of surface water has direct consequences for its ability to support growth of certain organisms. Very high phosphate intake may lead to an eutrophication of rivers and lakes leading finally to the death of aquatic life.
In the maintaining of cooling or heating systems QUANTOFIX^® Phosphate is used for the rapid and reliable control of corrosion inhibitors.
