Analytical Testing Methods for Water and Wastewater
In the beverage industry, the water used in the production of beverages as well as the plant's wastewater effluent is tested for specific analytical parameters. Many of the approved test methods utilized by the beverage industry along with other analytical information can be obtained at the following websites:
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
- http://www.epa.gov/safewater/standards.html
- http://www.epa.gov/water science/method/
- Code of Federal Regulations (Title 40: EPA approved methods):
- http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov (then select Title 40, Part 141)
- AWWA Bookstore to obtain a copy of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (ISBN 0-87553-253-7).
- http://www.awwa.org/bookstore
- Office of Water Programs at California State University-Sacramento.
- For Wastewater: recommend "Operations of Wastewater Treatment Plants" Volume II: http://www.owp.csus.edu/courses/owtp2.htm
