OVERSEAS
SAMPLE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
To those who are interested in using APS Floc Log and
Silt Stop products outside of the USA:
Our polyacrylamide products are site-specific, meaning
we match the polymer blend to the specific soil type on your site to
ensure the best binding potential and superior stormwater clarification.
To achieve this, we ask that you send a soil sample from your site to
our lab for testing. This testing is completely free of charge,
and we are usually able to provide the lab results within one day
of receiving the samples.
Our lab recently received USDA PPQ 525 permit # S-76588 to import soil
for analytical purposes, and there are a few guidelines to follow to
ensure that the samples reach our lab in a timely fashion.
-
Please send 200 g of dry soil and/or 500 mL of water
(containing high turbidity) in a sturdy, leak-proof container (Nalgene
sampling bottle or equivalent).
-
Business card or similar contact information, preferably
with an email address to reach you at (to assist in our record-keeping,
as well as to make sure you receive the lab results).
-
Include a rough sketch or design of your project
outlining what you are interested in using polymers for (stormwater
clarification, slope stabilization, sediment removal, dust control, etc.).
-
If interested in stormwater clarification, please
include the distances or lengths of water flow conveyances (pipes,
ditches, etc.) as well as the volume of flow expected through those
conveyances (please make sure to include units).
-
Below is our lab's soil importing permit,
please be sure to include a copy of this with your sample. Also below is a small
tag that needs to be attached to the exterior
of the package containing the samples.
