Tracer
EMU Limited offers an in-house, commercial tracer service founded upon well over a decade of experience. Knowledge, understanding, efficiency and communication are central to all of our activities so, whatever a client’s needs, we are confident that we can offer the best advice available. Understanding the pathways and rates of movement of sediment, water or bacteria is a fundamental requirement in many environmental studies; and one which can be met using tracers.
EMU specialise in the use of the following tracer techniques:
- Serratia marscescens (virus)
- Microbial biotyping
- BioTraceTM (Bacillus globigii)
- Fluorescent microspheres
- Dye tracers
- SeditraceTM (fluorescent silt tracers)
- Magnetic techniques
EMU’s suite of tracers can mimic the following mediums:
- Viruses
- Bacteria
- Water/effluents
- Silt
- Fine grained organic material
- Sand
- Shingle
EMU has developed many of these techniques in-house partly through DTI awards to develop real time monitoring using lasers. These tracers have been designed and used with dredging, coastal, civil and environmental engineers, ports and harbours, wastewater treatment, trade effluent, government regulation and environmental consultancies.
EMU is BSI ISO9001 accredited as well as being uniquely UKAS accredited for bacterial tracing work using Bacillus globigii.
