Build a representative baseline around flow, variability, contaminant load, and treatment goals.
LYCANTESTING + LABORATORIESRequest a test planFULL-SERVICE TESTING · WATER-FOCUSED EXPERTISE
Sample to solution.
Lycan brings field sampling, analytical coordination, treatability studies, and process verification into one practical testing platform—built first for water and wastewater, and ready for the wider industrial environment.

Characterize the stream. Prove the treatment. Verify the result.
A BROADER LABORATORY PLATFORM
Specialized in water. Built for more.
Water and wastewater are where Lycan goes deepest: influent and effluent, pretreatment, reuse, process water, residuals, and the treatment decisions between them.
That same disciplined approach extends across environmental matrices, petroleum and fuels, waste characterization, field services, and industrial QA/QC—without making the client manage a maze of disconnected laboratories.
CAPABILITY FAMILIES
One testing partner. Eight ways into the work.
Open each family to see the working scope. Final method, reporting limit, turnaround, and certification requirements are confirmed for every project before samples move.
01Water + wastewaterPrimary specialty
Practical analytical programs for treatment plants, industrial pretreatment, source water, discharge, reuse, and process control.
- Wastewater, stormwater, surface water, groundwater, and drinking water
- pH, solids, turbidity, alkalinity, hardness, conductivity, BOD, COD, TOC, and nutrients
- Metals, oil and grease, organics, microbiology, and permit-driven parameters
- Cooling water, boiler water, process water, and reuse-quality programs
02Environmental analysisMulti-matrix programs
One coordinated path for site characterization, remediation, waste profiling, compliance support, and environmental due diligence.
- Soil, sediment, groundwater, leachate, waste, and residuals
- VOCs, SVOCs, metals, PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, herbicides, and petroleum hydrocarbons
- TCLP, waste characterization, and disposal-facility profiles
- PFAS and emerging-contaminant programs through qualified partner laboratories
03Petroleum, fuels + oilsIndustrial fluids
Testing programs for petroleum products and oil-bearing wastes, from routine condition checks to environmental characterization.
- Used oil, recycled oil, fuel oil, diesel, base oil, lubricants, and antifreeze
- Water and sediment, viscosity, flash point, distillation, sulfur, and metals programs
- Total petroleum hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon-range characterization
- Product quality, contamination, and troubleshooting support
04Waste, sludge + residualsKnow what you have
Characterization that supports handling, treatment, dewatering, transport, disposal, beneficial use, and process improvement.
- Sludge, biosolids, filter cake, grit, media, and industrial residuals
- Landfill leachate and variable or difficult waste streams
- Moisture, solids, metals, organics, nutrients, and classification programs
- Bench testing for conditioning, separation, stabilization, and dewatering
05Materials + industrial QA/QCBeyond environmental
Flexible analytical support for raw materials, treatment chemicals, production samples, product quality, and failure investigation.
- Raw-material and chemical identity, concentration, purity, and comparison
- Routine production and incoming-material quality control
- Corrosion, deposits, scale, residue, and contamination troubleshooting
- Method selection and specialty partner coordination for advanced materials work
06Field sampling + measurementData starts in the field
Representative collection, screening, custody, and documentation designed around the decision the project must support.
- Sampling plans, locations, frequency, containers, preservation, and holding times
- Field pH, ORP, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, flow, and pressure
- Composite, grab, profile, and troubleshooting sampling
- Chain of custody, courier, shipping, and sample-exception coordination
07Treatability + process verificationLycan differentiator
Bench and field studies that convert analytical data into treatment choices, startup criteria, and operating adjustments.
- Coagulation, flocculation, settling, flotation, and dewatering studies
- Oxidation, reduction, precipitation, adsorption, filtration, and membrane trials
- Chemical-dose comparison and staged process testing
- Commissioning baselines, acceptance sampling, performance trending, and optimization
08Specialty partner servicesRight lab. Right method.
Lycan keeps complex programs coordinated when scope calls for specialized instrumentation, certification, or laboratory geography.
- PFAS, ultra-trace organics, radiochemistry/NORM, WET, and advanced microbiology
- Air, vapor, emissions, industrial hygiene, and asbestos programs
- State- or method-specific certified analysis
- One scope, one custody plan, consolidated interpretation, and clear exceptions
Capability descriptions represent program scope, not a claim that every method is performed at an owned Lycan facility. Regulated and specialized analyses are placed with appropriately qualified partner laboratories when required.

Bench data becomes a better treatment decision.
WATER + WASTEWATER
Measure the water. Improve the process.
Lycan is designed to see the whole treatment problem—not just the number at the end of a report.
Compare chemistry, separation, oxidation, filtration, membranes, and polishing at bench or pilot scale.
Confirm startup performance, acceptance criteria, permit response, and operating stability.
Trend the right indicators and connect results to dosing, controls, maintenance, and equipment changes.
MATRICES + METHODS
The sample is only the beginning.
Good data starts with representativeness, correct containers and preservation, defensible custody, the right method, and a result interpreted in context.

MARKETS
Built for the places where data has to work.
From permit reporting to plant troubleshooting, Lycan shapes the testing program around the operating reality of the facility and the consequence of the decision.
THE LYCAN METHOD
Testing designed around what happens next.
A report is not the finish line. The useful endpoint is a defensible decision, a verified treatment change, or a clearer operating baseline.
Define
Start with the permit, process question, risk, or operating decision.
Design
Set matrices, methods, sampling points, QA/QC, and turnaround.
Collect
Use the right containers, preservation, custody, and field measurements.
Analyze
Match each parameter to the appropriate in-house or partner-lab path.
Interpret
Organize results around trends, limits, variability, and the decision at stake.
Verify
Test the change, confirm performance, and establish the next operating baseline.

THE WILD PACK ADVANTAGE
Data that can move directly into delivery.
Lycan characterizes and proves. When the result calls for more, the wider Wild Pack can supply treatment chemistry, fabricate equipment, build the site, automate the process, coordinate logistics, and operate the solution.
SCOPE WITH INTEGRITY
The right method, laboratory, and reporting path—confirmed before the work starts.
Lycan does not use blanket accreditation language. Each scope is reviewed for matrix, method, reporting limit, jurisdiction, holding time, and data-use requirements.
Where certification or specialist capability is required, Lycan coordinates an appropriately qualified partner laboratory while retaining the sampling plan, chain of custody, logistics, interpretation, and process context.
START A TEST PLAN
Start with the decision the data must support.
Bring the process, matrix, parameters, timing, and question. Lycan will structure the sampling, analysis, QA/QC, partner-lab path, and verification plan around the outcome.
