Measure actual chemical consumption, power demand, and sludge production to build reliable operating requirement models for your technical case.
Demonstrate compliance with discharge consent limits using third-party validated effluent data for regulators and stakeholders.
Compare DAF vs lamella, aerobic vs anaerobic, or membrane vs conventional side-by-side on your site with your water.
Share tangible pilot results with boards, investors, and environmental agencies to secure funding and permit approvals.
How pilot data becomes full-scale design with confidence intervals.
| Technology | Pilot Scale | Scale-Up Factor | Key Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| DAF | 1–5 m3/hr | 1:10 to 1:50 | Air dissolution efficiency; floc shear |
| Lamella Clarifier | 0.5–2 m3/hr | 1:20 to 1:100 | Plate spacing; sludge hopper hydraulics |
| MBBR | 50–500 L | 1:100 to 1:1,000 | Oxygen transfer; carrier mixing uniformity |
| MBR | 0.5–5 m3/hr | 1:10 to 1:50 | Membrane flux; fouling rate at full scale |
| UASB / EGSB | 5–50 L | 1:100 to 1:10,000 | Upflow velocity; granule stability; gas-liquid separation |
| Activated Sludge | 50–500 L | 1:50 to 1:500 | Clarifier solids flux; sludge volume index |
Full-Scale HRT = Pilot HRT × SFHRT
Where SFHRT = 1.2–1.5 for biological processes; 1.0–1.2 for physical-chemical processes.
Rigorous data collection to support engineering decisions and regulatory submissions.
Daily grab or 24-hour composite samples for COD, BOD5, TSS, VSS, pH, conductivity, oil & grease, and heavy metals. Weekly TOC and nutrient speciation (TN, TP, NH4-N, PO4-P).
Daily composite effluent for COD, BOD, TSS, and target contaminants. Triplicate sampling on days 7, 14, 21, and 28 for statistical confidence. Independent third-party laboratory for regulatory evidence.
Continuous logging of flow, temperature, pH, DO, ORP, and pressure. Online turbidity and UV254 for surrogate organic tracking. Data logger records at 1-minute intervals with 15-minute rolling averages.
Weekly sludge volume index (SVI), MLSS/MLVSS, and specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) for biological pilots. Chemical consumption logged daily: coagulant, flocculant, acid/alkali, and antifoam.
For biological pilots: weekly filamentous bacteria screening, protozoa population counts, and EPS staining. Toxicity screening (Microtox) if industrial wastewater contains variable chemical loads.
All samples logged with time, temperature, and preservative verification. Cool-box transport <4°C within 6 hours. LIMS tracking from collection to certificate of analysis.
A structured, phased programme from site survey to final recommendation report.
Our engineers visit your facility to assess space, utilities, access, and existing infrastructure. We sample wastewater for full laboratory characterisation including COD, BOD, TSS, oils, pH, and heavy metals.
A containerised or skid-mounted pilot unit is transported to site and connected to your effluent stream. Units range from 0.5 to 50 m³/hr depending on treatment objective and available footprint.
The pilot runs for 2-12 weeks under varying load conditions. We adjust process parameters, chemical doses, and flow rates to map the full operational envelope and identify optimal setpoints.
Daily composite and grab samples are analysed in our certified laboratory or on-site instruments. Parameters include COD, BOD, TSS, ammonia, phosphate, oil & grease, pH, and specific client requirements.
Statistical analysis of performance data identifies correlations between influent quality, process settings, and effluent results. CFD modelling validates hydraulic behaviour for full-scale design.
A comprehensive technical report presents validated design parameters, equipment sizing, chemical consumption rates, operating procedures, and a firm Capital/Operating quotation for the full-scale system.
Comprehensive documentation and data to support your investment decision and regulatory compliance.
Comprehensive report with process flow diagrams, mass balances, and validated performance data. Includes statistical analysis of all operating parameters and effluent quality trends under varying load conditions.
Validated hydraulic and organic loading rates, retention times, chemical dosing rates, and air-to-solids ratios. All values based on actual measured performance, not theoretical calculations.
Detailed operating requirement breakdown including power, chemicals, labour, maintenance, and sludge disposal. Modelled across three operating scenarios: average, peak, and design flow conditions.
Firm firm quotation for the full-scale system with equipment list, civil works scope, installation, commissioning, and performance guarantees based on pilot-validated data.
Standard operating procedures for start-up, normal operation, shutdown, and emergency response. Includes troubleshooting guides and maintenance schedules validated during pilot operation.
Third-party laboratory certificates demonstrating effluent quality against discharge consent limits. Suitable for submission to environmental regulators and permit applications.
