How It Works

A structured approach that ensures consistent, high-quality results delivered on time and within budget.

1

Planning

Define objectives, design test program, and select pilot equipment.

2

Setup

Install pilot unit, calibrate instruments, and establish baseline conditions.

3

Execution

Run tests, collect samples, monitor performance, and document results.

4

Analysis

Analyse data, prepare reports, and translate findings into design parameters.

Core Services

Comprehensive expertise delivered by experienced engineers using industry-leading tools and methodologies.

Containerised Pilot Units

Selecting between mobile and fixed pilot plants is a critical decision that impacts test accuracy, timeline, and cost. Each configuration offers distinct advantages depending on yo

Skid-Mounted Systems

Complete treatment systems housed in standard shipping containers (20ft or 40ft) that can be transported to site and connected to utilities. Ideal for testing under actual site con

Comprehensive Scope

Every aspect of your project covered with expert knowledge and proven methodologies.

Choose Mobile When: You need site-specific validation, wastewater characteristics vary.
Choose Fixed When: Extended testing is required, multiple process options need comparison.
Hybrid Approach: Initial fixed pilot testing followed by mobile validation can provide.
Space: Level area for container/skid placement (typically 50-100 m²)
Water: Raw water/wastewater feed and clean water for utility
Safety: Compliance with site safety requirements and permits
Electrical: 400V 3-phase power supply (typically 32-125A)
Access: Suitable for truck delivery and crane placement
Drainage: Discharge point for treated effluent
Extended test durations (months to years)
Mobile vs Fixed Pilot | Testing Options
Controlled environmental conditions
Minimal site preparation required
Advanced analytical capabilities
P&ID & Process Design
Flow rates: 0.5-20 m³/h

Key Benefits

Tangible advantages that deliver measurable value to your operations and bottom line.

Data-Driven Design

Pilot test data provides real-world validation for full-scale design.

Reduced Risk

Validate technology performance before committing to full-scale investment.

Demonstrated Performance

Demonstrate treatment performance to regulators, stakeholders, and financiers.

Optimised Design

Fine-tune operating parameters, chemical doses, and loading rates.

Faster Approvals

Pilot data supports permit applications and speeds up regulatory approval.

Continuous Improvement

Lessons learned inform better full-scale design and commissioning.
