Custom-designed pilot plants from concept to commissioning. Mobile, skid-mounted and fixed configurations engineered for your specific wastewater treatment requirements.
CFD, P&ID, SCADA and commissioning for critical water treatment plants.
Plant layouts, piping isometrics and construction-ready engineering drawings.
Flow, mixing and thermal CFD across treatment and process equipment.
Full mechanical, physico-chemical, biological and sludge equipment range.
From Concept to Commissioning in 6 Stages
We analyse your wastewater characteristics, treatment objectives, site constraints, and regulatory requirements to define pilot plant scope and performance targets.
Our engineers develop P&ID diagrams, equipment specifications, hydraulic profiles, and control philosophies tailored to your application.
Pilot plants are fabricated in our production facilities using high-quality materials and certified welding procedures.
Factory Acceptance Testing verifies all mechanical, electrical, and control systems before shipment, ensuring reliable field performance.
Our technicians handle mechanical installation, utility connections, control integration, and startup procedures at your site or our test facility.
We commission the pilot plant, optimise operating parameters, train your operators, and hand over complete documentation.
Choose the Right Deployment Model for Your Application
Fully integrated pilot plants housed in standard 20' or 40' CSC-certified shipping containers. Easy transport, minimal site preparation, and rapid deployment for on-site testing.
Compact, modular skid-mounted pilot plants for indoor installations. Perfect for factory halls, existing buildings, or covered concrete pads with the highest flexibility.
Permanent installations at our test centres or your site for extended testing programs. Ideal for complex process development and long-term validation.

Equipment, Materials, Controls & Instrumentation
We design pilot plants around the Treatment Process your application demands. Single-process or multi-stage configurations.
Selected for compatibility with your wastewater chemistry, temperature, and abrasion profile.
From standalone HMI panels to full SCADA integration with remote monitoring.
Standard and advanced analytical instruments for real-time process monitoring and data logging.
Transparent Scope & Deliverables So You Know Exactly What You Get
What to Expect When Your Pilot Plant Arrives
Mobile units ship as standard ISO containers (CSC-certified) via road, rail, or sea. Skid-mounted systems travel on flatbed trucks with lifting eyes for crane offloading.
Minimal preparation is required for mobile and skid units. Reynolds & Bauhm provides a site preparation checklist before delivery.
Optional HVAC, insulation, and weatherproofing packages ensure reliable operation from arctic to desert conditions.
We deploy pilot plants from our UK, Netherlands, Poland, and Germany facilities to minimise transport time and customs friction.
