Prepare a treatment trial
Identify the mechanism and prepare a comparative test.
Project overview
- Inputs
- Medium, contaminant, concentration, flow and media properties; residue handling.
- Outputs
- Treated samples, used media and mass balance; efficiency limited to tested conditions.
- Information to clarify
- Throughput, acceptance criteria, budget, supplier data and applicable documents are not assumed available.
Questions to resolve
Contaminant, medium, concentration, flow, analytical method and residue handling.
Process stages
Characterization → blank → trial → analysis → balance.
Inputs
Medium, contaminant, concentration, flow and media properties; residue handling.
Outputs
Treated samples, used media and mass balance; efficiency limited to tested conditions.
Essential equipment
Dosing/transfer, test apparatus, sampling and analytical method.
Options to assess
Options only after requirements are defined: automation, energy recovery, storage or additional instrumentation.
Site and utilities
Layout, access, loads, ventilation and available utilities; power, voltage, water and drains to confirm.
Cleaning
Contact materials, cleaning method, residues and disassembly to validate for the application.
Required tests
Blank, replicates, kinetics or breakthrough as appropriate, pressure drop and balance.
Missing information
Throughput, acceptance criteria, budget, supplier data and applicable documents are not assumed available.
