WLN is more than just a laboratory; it is your partner in sustainable and safe food production.
A sustainable and safe food production is one of the highest priorities in the food sector nowadays. On account of the law, as a producer in this sector you are responsible and obliged to bring safe and healthy products on the market. In the preparation and treatment process you have to comply with laws and standards, especially when water is applied as raw material, as process water and/or as drinking water.
Does your water supply company provide your drinking water or do you have a private installation or pipeline system for your water production and distribution? WLN can provide highly professional service and advice on quality assurance.
Public health as top priority
By order of governments, companies, industries and institutions, we carry out chemical, biological and technical research and analyse all possible water types.
One of our main responsibilities for many years now, is quality assurance and monitoring of drinking water for the Water supply companies for Groningen (Water Bedrijf Groningen) and Drenthe (Waterleiding Maatschappij Drenthe). These years of experience gives us, compared to other laboratories, a head start in knowledge and expertise.
Many years of experience in the food sector
In the field of food production we can also rely on many years of experience. We benefit from our expertise in the field of drinking water quality assurance and monitoring. The safety plans and risk tools we have developed for the water supply companies are very similar to the HACCP systematics, which are used in your sector. Enterprises like dairy companies, pharmaceutical companies, potato processing plants and breweries belong to our broad range of customers. We too favour a safety and prevention-based approach above an end-of-pipe inspection.
We are able to provide a wide range of services
Compared to many other laboratories we offer a more in-depth service.
A summary:
• We can provide regular, constant and continuous monitoring of water quality. With all kinds of highly qualified measuring equipment we gain optimal insight in acidity, temperature, oxygen content, electrical conductivity, turbidity and filter pressure of the water flows in your company. We use the most advanced monitoring techniques. If we observe an anomaly, you will be informed immediately and advised about the actions you have to take.
• We offer support in setting-up a custom-made measurement program concerning chemical and microbiological parameters, measuring frequency and sampling locations.
• In close cooperation with you, we can develop a custom-made safety plan, in which we point out all critical control issues of the entire process. Based on our risk assessment we will set up a priority list and bring out a proposal about controlling and limiting the risks.
• Thanks to our many years of experience, your technological management of the drinking water purification and treatment will be in safe hands. Our water technologists know exactly which requirements should be met in each specific process. Furthermore we closely cooperate with a wide range of (inter)national knowledge institutes, which guarantees a high standard of up-to-date and professional knowledge.
• Do you consider switching to your own water supply system or upgrading your current water supply system? We can be of service to you in the acquisition and design, the implementation of the new application and the complete supervision and management. We have the capacity and knowledge to treat all types of water.
