TECHNOLOGY EVALUATION TREATABILITY TESTING

Test Pit Sample Collection

The feasibility of a proposed treatment process is normally verified through means of a laboratory bench-scale treatability study. ART Engineering has performed numerous technology evaluation, feasibility and treatability studies for soil washing, soil treatment, groundwater and waste and wastewater treatment. The main objective of the treatability testing is to determine the technical and economical feasibility of the project and prepare an initial process design as well as to determine capital and process operations cost estimates. Sometimes, performance of pilot study will be necessary after completion of the treatability testing to confirm effectiveness of the process or determine scale-up factors.

The treatability study typically involves following elements Collection of representative samples Performance of the treatability study including: Particle Size Distribution Analysis by Wet Screening Soil Screening, Separation and Washing Tests Flocculation and Dewatering Tests Chemical Analysis of soil prior and after treatment Preparation of a concept flowsheet (initial process design) Preparation of budget cost estimate for implementation of the project
			Flocculant Testing

Soil Screening	Washed Gravel	Flotation Testing	Sludge Dewatering

Pilot Testing

In some cases performance of additional pilot testing or process optimization testing is required to confirm effectiveness of the proposed process or determine scale-up factors. The level of effort and scale of pilot study is project specific.
