Step 6 – Pilot-Scale Investigations

Step 6 – Pilot-Scale Investigations
– To study the performance of a given treatment technology using the actual wastewater to be treated
– Usually on size and real model of equipment that will be used in the full-scale treatment system
– Sometimes the pilot-scale model may be in an accurate scale
– Sometime the pilot-scale model may be looked totally
different from the full-scale system (e.g. 200-liter tank study)
– Some manufacturers may have pilot-scale treatment systems for renting and transported on a truck
