Process-stream monitoring, cooling-tower chemistry, raw-material QC and failure analysis — the chemistry that keeps a plant running and explains it when something goes wrong.
Plants and manufacturers use IAS to monitor process streams, control utility water, qualify incoming materials, and run the failure analysis that turns an unplanned shutdown into a root cause.
We watch the chemistry of the fluids and materials your process depends on, flag drift before it becomes downtime, and dig into components when they fail prematurely.
Whether it is a routine monitoring program or a single urgent failure, you reach a chemist directly — not a ticket queue.
Trend the chemistry of a stream so you catch a problem before it scraps product.
SEM/EDS and material ID to find why a component or weld failed.
Cooling-tower and boiler chemistry to control scale, corrosion and microbial growth.
High-magnification imaging plus elemental composition of surfaces & particles.
Measures elemental concentrations across a wide dynamic range.
Identifies organic & inorganic compounds through molecular fingerprinting.

| Cooling-tower water panel | Multi-parameter | Call to quote |
| Legionella | Culture / PCR | $300 |
| Unknown deposit / scale ID | FTIR · SEM/EDS | $325 |
| Raw-material conformance | Method-dependent | Call to quote |
Yes. SEM/EDS imaging plus elemental and material analysis is a core service — we determine why parts, welds, coatings and deposits fail.
We do, including the parameters needed to control scale, corrosion and microbiological growth in utility water systems.
Yes. FTIR and SEM/EDS together identify scales, films, particulates and residues so you can trace the source.
Yes — scheduled monitoring with consistent reporting is common, and accounts are easy to open.
A proprietary fluid, an unusual alloy, an intermittent defect no one can pin down — process problems are exactly where our custom, flexible analytical work shines. Send the sample and let us investigate.
