Research & development
Test the solution before scaling up
When water characteristics vary or the application is new, a structured trial helps build an engineering decision based on measurements.
Lab tests
To evaluate how the water responds to treatment alternatives and identify the variables worth studying.
Pilot units
To trial a treatment sequence at limited scale and monitor its performance under defined operating conditions.
Results analysis
To compare alternatives and document dosages, loads, water quality and operating requirements.
Trial plan
What a trial plan includes
- A clear objective and measurable success indicators.
- A description of the sample or water source.
- Operating conditions and tested variables.
- Sampling and analysis program.
- A results report and the limits of its applicability to design.
From trial to design
How we use the results
Results help determine technology suitability and the design basis. Scale-up accounts for differences in size, variations in water quality and continuous-operation requirements.
