A successful pilot study yielding useful data depends upon equipment that is configured to fit the conditions at hand.
Steps must be taken to ensure that the raw water flow rate is uniform, that water temperature, pH and solids loading
are controlled, and that a suitable chemical pretreatment program is provided. If any of the preceding measures are
lacking or deficient, the pilot study will likely not be representative of full-scale operation, thus making it difficult
to project future costs and effluent quality. DAF Corp can provide equipment to make certain that the pilot clarifier
receives wastewater with uniform characteristics. This support equipment includes equalization tanks, coagulation contact
tank, oil/water separator, coagulation-flocculation tube bundle, polymer makeup system and pumps.
For more information about pilot clarification studies, please contact your local Sales Representative or DAF Corp.
