MIB TESTING & ANALYSIS SERVICES

Engineering Performance Solutions, LLC can provide taste and odor testing for your water system. Unpleasant tastes and odors in your water are often the result of organic compounds known as taste-and-odor-causing compounds that are excreted into the environment. The most prominent taste-and-odor-causing compounds are geosmin and MID. Engineering Performance Solutions provides nationwide MIB and geosmin analysis.

Does your drinking water have an earthy, musty flavor? This unpleasant effect is most likely caused by organic compounds created when bacteria in the water feeds on algae particles, as well as the decomposing algae. The most common metabolite that causes the undesirable taste or odor in your water is known as MIB, or 1,2,7,7-tetramethyl-bicyclo-heptan-2-ol. Even trace amounts of this compound can be noticeable when consumed. In addition to being detectable in drinking water, MIB can affect the smell and taste of washed produce, locally caught fish, and more. Sending your drinking water for MIB testing and analysis can help to detect the problem at the molecular level so you can take steps to properly treat the source.

At Engineering Performance Solutions, we offer professional MIB analysis for water samples from across the country. If you are looking for accurate and timely results, there is no better place to send your sample.
