Effluent compliance you can see coming
Grab samples tell you what your discharge was days ago. AquaValid gives your team continuous visibility of dissolved metals in effluent and tailings water — results about a minute after sampling, around the clock — so an excursion is something you catch, not something you explain.
Three ways continuous data changes compliance
Catch it before the threshold
A live trend on your discharge metals means an upward drift is visible hours before it becomes an exceedance — time to divert, dose, or hold.
A defensible record between lab samples
A time-stamped history of every operating hour — not just the hours someone pulled a bottle — supporting the ICP results that build your compliance record.
Protect the social license
Demonstrating continuous monitoring to regulators and communities is a different conversation than quarterly grab-sample reports.
AquaValid operates alongside accredited laboratory ICP analysis — it makes your compliance programme more responsive and better informed; the accredited lab remains the compliance record.
Commonly monitored in effluent
Choose up to 5 concurrent analytes for your discharge — these are frequent picks for compliance monitoring.
“The quicker you can have real time results when it comes to any kind of parameters that are compliant, the better off we are. If you wait for the lab, you’re already out of compliance before you get their results.”
Compliance monitoring FAQ
Does AquaValid replace our lab compliance sampling?
No — and it isn’t meant to. Accredited ICP analysis remains your compliance record. AquaValid adds continuous visibility between those samples, so your programme is more responsive and better informed.
What happens when a metal concentration starts rising?
The continuous data feed streams into your dashboards and control systems via API — alerts and trends appear where your operators already work, in time to divert, dose, or hold.
Which metals can we monitor for discharge compliance?
You choose up to 5 concurrent analytes from AquaValid’s panel to match your permit — zinc, copper, nickel, lead, and cadmium are frequent picks. See the elements page for the full panel.
