AquaChem is software designed specifically for those who work with hydrochemical data. It is ideal for projects that require the management, analysis and reporting of water quality data.
For more than 20 years, AquaChem has been a leading tool in its field and now it has become even more complete: Aquachem 12.0 has just been released, bringing many new features. Among them, this version enables direct integration with resources from the geochemical modeling program developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), PHREEQC.
According to Lara Lange, a geologist at Water Services and Technologies, hydrogeochemical simulations have become an important tool in the mining industry in recent years and are an important part of hydrogeochemical studies.
“For this reason, having a tool that enables not only the analysis, but also the development of hydrogeochemical models, allows for greater quality, robustness and reliability for the results,” she explains.
Lara points out that by using analysis tools that cover a variety of functions and calculations for analyzing, interpreting and comparing hydrochemical data, the user will be able to optimize their time and dedicate effective efforts to their results.
“In addition, the user will have an extensive gallery of geochemical graphs, statistical analysis, QA/QC tools, a map module, integration with the R language and other important possibilities,” he says.
Water Services and Technologies is the official representative of Waterloo Hydrogeologic in Brazil, the developer of AquaChem, offering personalized service in projects and support in using the tool. It also offers regular or customized courses covering theory and practical applications in hydrogeochemistry.
If you want to become a more qualified professional on the subject, check out the course that Water Services and Technologies will be offering, in partnership with Waterloo Hydrogeologic, on managing and interpreting water quality data using AquaChem.
The course will be offered online, in English, on September 13 and 14, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (New York time) or from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Brasilia time).
