Technology Evaluation, Process Testing and Feasibility Studies for Soil Washing, Soil Treatment, Sediment, Wastewater, Groundwater and Sludge Dewatering
Technology Evaluation,
Feasibility and Treatability Testing
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
- Preparation of a concept flowsheet (initial process design)
- Preparation of budget cost estimate for implementation of the project.

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.
