Safeguarding Lake Victoria Basin Water Resources

Discharge permits across Tanzania mandate rigorous monitoring of industrial effluents, process water retention ponds, and ambient river discharge to prevent environmental damage to sensitive aquatic ecosystems.

Analytical Trace Metal Packages

Utilizing high-sensitivity ICP-OES and cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry for mercury (Hg), RVA Labs measures heavy metal concentrations (As, Cd, Pb, Cr, Cu, Zn) down to sub-ppb thresholds.

Cyanide Speciation

Our environmental suite distinguishes between Free Cyanide, Weak Acid Dissociable (WAD) cyanide, and Total Cyanide, ensuring gold extraction operations comply with the International Cyanide Management Code.
