QROS Ltd services

All utilities arisings, except small and unplanned works, must be classified as hazardous unless proved to be non hazardous, and with the imminent withdrawal of RPS 211 that will expand to all arisings.

QROS can provide several techniques for analysing heavy metals on site. XRF; The most common method is X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). XRF has a very good correlation with high quality laboratory results. TheSciAps X-505 XRF from QROS can also detect the lighter elements such as Ca, Mg, Al, Sulphur and Chlorine, which can be useful for Sulphate estimations. For the toxic heavy metals, the detection limits have been improved compared to analysers available just a few years ago, achieving low mg/kg limits for Cadmium and Mercury as well as the other metals of interest. The X-505 XRF is small, lightweight and very robust, capable of taking the everyday knocks an on site analyser is exposed to. It can be handheld or used with a stand.
