Inspection of industrial plants
10
Inspections of industrial plants

• New industrial plant
• Granting of an integrated permit or making a
  wastewater permit
• Conditions for self control typically include
  regular analyses of relevant parameters in the
  wastewater, flow-dependant sampling, measuring
  total amount of wastewater. Sampling must be done
  when the plant is in normal operation.
• Analyses must be done by a lab which has an
  accreditation under the Danish Accreditation and
  Metrology Fund DANAK
• The lab contacts the industrial plant with a
  service offer. The plant is free to choose
  whatever lab they may wish as long as it has an
  accreditation under DANAK
• Control of the conditions contained in the
  integrated permit and/or the wastewater permit
• The results of analyses are sent to the
  authorities who then control that the results are
  in accordance with the conditions stipulated in
  the permit.
• Legal actions are taken when the results not are
  in compliance with the conditions

Water treatment plants
12
Water treatment plants

• The quality of potable water is regulated by
  legislation
• Control is carried out by municipalities or
  ROVESTA Miljø by yearly inspections and regular
  analysis of the water.
• Water treatment plant pay for the analyses
  sampled by a lab (public or private).
• Deviation from the limit value causes immediate
  contact from our lab to the consultant involved.
  The water treatment plant is contacted
  immediately for a dialogue of proper measures to
  be taken and for follow-up analysis etc.. The
  authorities do a lot of guiding and nursing of
  smaller water treatment plants to ensure that the
  public always has a high quality of potable water

Public swimming pools

• The quality of pool water is regulated by
  legislation
• Control is carried out by municipalities or
  ROVESTA Miljø by yearly inspections and regular
  analytic results of the pool water.
• Analysis is paid by the pool owner (public or
  private)
• Deviation from the limit value causes immediate
  contact from our lab to the consultant involved.
  The pool owner is contacted immediately for a
  dialogue of proper measures to be taken and for
  follow-up analysis etc.. The authorities do a lot
  of guiding and nursing of smaller swimming pools
  to ensure that the public always has a high
  quality of their pool water

Soil pollution
16
Soil pollution

• Control samples taken by authorities before
  taking legal actions
• Soil pollution investigations for public offices,
  companies and others
• Close contact to the chemist in interpretation of
  chromatograms to define the age and origin of oil
  products (Fuel oil, Diesel, etc.)
• Screening of samples with unknown substances
• Response time and price are of the essence

17
Authorities and the laboratory

• Synergy effects
• Close contact between laboratory and inspectors
• Short communication ways
• Quicker response to customer when results are
  higher than limit values
• Common understanding of environmental problems
• Possible problem areas
• Non integrated systems
