Filtronics Pilot Test

Filtronics “full scale” pilot units provide long term, real time data. The 20" unit pictured below is the smallest full size filter we manufacture. The unit provides approximately 2 square feet of filter area and can be applied to flows of 10 to 30 gallons per minute depending on the application. The unit is fully automated. Our technicians will set the unit up for proper operation and train the personnel who will operate the pilot plant for the rest of the test period. Full support is always available by phone.

Actual field tests are required for Filtronics to determine the treatability of the water source.The purpose of the pilot plant is to verify the chemical oxidation demand, determine the chemical feed rates, determine the electrical operating costs, and document the removal efficiencies. All tested water samples are sent to an independent laboratory for substantiation. A pilot test provides the basis for the Filtronics performance guarantee.

Applications

  • Lake, reservoir and spring water filtration for turbidity and color
  • Ground water under the influence of surface water
  • Iron & Manganese Removal
  • Arsenic Removal
  • Radium and radionuclides removal
  • Industrial recycle streams
  • Cooling tower side streams
  • Heavy metal waste discharge streams
  • Pre-reverse osmosis filtration
  • Pre-ion exchange filtration
  • Ground water remediation
  • Process water filtration

The system is designed for a maximum flow of 20 gpm at 60 psi pressure for short term on-site pilot testing of iron, manganese, arsenic, fluoride, radium, and other metals.
