Our IC-VIS instrument is built on the well-established principles of spectrometry, but with a unique advantage: it delivers reliable analyses even in highly turbid liquids, surpassing the limitations of conventional methods. Stena Recycling has successfully tested the technology on various water samples, using it to measure critical parameters such as phosphorus levels in wastewater, allowing for optimized treatment processes.

“The new analysis instrument has improved the reliability of our analyses and streamlined our work. This allows us to provide our customers with even more precise results”  says Jacob Öiens, Laboratory Manager at QC West, which conducts analyses for Stena Recycling.

From Testing to Implementation

With IC-VIS, water samples can be analyzed efficiently—without the need for dilution or filtration—allowing results that more accurately reflect true water quality. As our technology eliminates the need to remove turbidity before analysis, it simplifies workflows and expands the range of measurable samples. Additionally, IC-VIS offers enhanced flexibility in measurement ranges, enabling the extension of many reagent-based methods for broader applicability. This capability minimizes operational costs, streamlines laboratory procedures, and ensures accurate readings even in the most challenging environments.

Advancing Toward Automated Real-Time Monitoring

Building on this success, Spec-Imaging and Stena Recycling are now taking the next step: developing solutions for continuous real-time water quality monitoring. This initiative aims to automate measurements directly in flowing water, making it possible to achieve reliable, high-frequency data in turbid environments where traditional methods struggle.

“We are continuously working to improve our real-time water quality analysis solutions and contribute to more efficient water treatment processes,” says Jan-Erik Andersson, Head of Business Area HW at Stena Recycling.
Through the fusion of cutting-edge technology and real-world application expertise, Spec-Imaging and Stena Recycling are paving the way for more sustainable and effective water management solutions.
