Mobile Pilot Filter Laboratory

Field pilot filter testing is necessary to verify the treatability of raw water, to predict the performance of a full scale water treatment plant and to optimize its efficiency. Raw water quality can vary significantly, and since such variability will affect contaminant removal efficiency, field pilot testing of the proposed treatment system is strongly recommended. Pureflow Filtration has designed and outfitted a 20' x 8' x 8' mobile pilot filter laboratory to provide our clients and consulting engineers with an automated pilot filter / water treatment system that can test multiple treatment schemes simultaneously. Along with protection from the elements, the system will provide the treatment and water quality monitoring equipment necessary for the professional and reliable acquisition of raw and filtered water quality data.
