Our laboratory occupies approximately 1500 square feet with the ability to expand to twice the current size. We have four chemists on staff for quality control, product development, water analysis, regulatory compliance, and technical support for our customers. We routinely handle the following type of laboratory work.

Routine water analysis

Scale analysis

Quality control testing.

Jar tests screening of potable water samples

Jar tests screening of wastewater samples

Corrosion coupon analysis

Product formulation work for ourselves and for our customers.

Analysis of competitive product samples

We periodically farm out complex analyses to commercial laboratories because it is currently faster and less expensive than trying to do such work in-house.

All products manufactured at SWC are subjected to strict quality control tests and procedures before they are released for shipment. Quality control data is entered and evaluated in a computer database that applies statistical process control procedures to each individual product. Over time, product specifications are tightened, reducing product variations to much smaller values.

We routinely provide Certificates of Analysis to our customers.

All product retains are kept for a period of at least six months. Product batch records are kept for a minimum of two years. Computer batch records are scanned into computer files and kept permanently.
