AquaChem v.9.0 Released

Written by Jakab András on .

The powerful new redesign – AquaChem 9.0 – standardizes, streamlines, and automates your project workflow through an intuitive set of modules – get more accomplished in less with time with AquaChem 9.0!

A small sample of the new features:

  • Data Management
    • Easily import data from various file types and formats
    • Export stations, analysis data and geochemical plots to various file formats including MS-Excel spreadsheets, text files, MS-Access databases, and customizable print-ready Excel and PowerPoint templates
    • Define sets of samples and sampling locations based on static lists or dynamic criteria
    • Data management workflows include data quality checks
    • Import and manage Water Quality Standards. Exceedances are automatically color-coded for quick reference.
  • Interactive Plots
    • Geochemical plots: Piper, Stiff, Durov, Schoeller, Wilcox, Giggenbach, Meteoric Water Line, Ludwig-Langelier, Ternary;
    • Statistical Plots: Box and Whisker, Histogram, Probability, Quantile, Detection Summary; and
    • General Plots: Scatter, Pie, Stacked Bars, Radial, Time Series
  • Water Quality Analyses
    • Unit Conversion: AquaChem manages measurement and concentration units for you – switch between mass-, molar-, and equivalent-based concentrations on the fly.
    • Ionic Functions: Water Type, Electroneutrality/Ion Balance, Sum of Anions, Sum of Cations, TDS, Hardness, Alkalinity
    • General: Date functions, Exceedance counts, Total Organic Carbon, Total Organic Halogens
    • Corrosion and Scaling Indices: Langelier Saturation, Ryznar Stability, Puckorius Scaling, and Larson-Skold
    • Agricultural Irrigation Metrics: Sodium Absorption Ratio, Magnesium Hazard, Residual Sodium Carbonate
    • Enthalpy: Enthalpy of water (liquid or vapor) based on temperature or dissolved silica
    • Isotopes: Estimates of infiltration elevation and temperature based on Oxygen-18 and Deuterium isotopic fractionation
  • Automated Reports
    • Sample Report: A standardized sample report that tabulates sample results; optionally compares results to active Water Quality Standards and calculates summary statistics, including min/max, specified quantiles, and the mean.
    • Data Reports: Export data tables to print-ready MS-Excel templates that you can customize.
    • Plot Collections: Print collections of plots based on dynamic conditions or set lists of data. You can easily set up a series of plots for periodic reporting and export the plots to print-ready formats in a few clicks.
  • Scripting and R-Console
