Pureflow Filtration Division’s 20′ x 8′ x 8′ and 16′ x 8′ x 8′ mobile pilot filter laboratories provide our clients and consulting engineers with automated water treatment systems that can test multiple treatment schemes simultaneously. Along with protection from the elements, these systems provide the treatment and water quality monitoring equipment necessary for the professional and reliable acquisition of raw and filtered water quality data.

The Laboratories can be equipped with a Pimozone model GM3 ozone generator and related ancillary equipment, capable of producing 9 pounds per day of ozone at up to 20% concentration by weight. In addition, the laboratory includes four (4), six (6) inch I.D. by six (6) feet high pilot filter columns. Each column has five (5) electrically actuated valves that are controlled by a PLC based control panel, allowing the filters to operate 24 hrs. / day.

Functions also include automated backwashing and chemical pretreatment. The four (4) pilot filters can be loaded with identical media, with different pretreatment schemes, or they can be loaded with different media with different pretreatment schemes. On-line instrumentation including pH, ORP, turbidity and chlorine analyzers can be provided as required. Four (4) chemical storage tanks are installed (for oxidant, acid, caustic or coagulant feed) with multiple chemical metering pumps to provide required pretreatment.

Each system also includes in-line static mixers and pre – / post – filter sample taps. Centrifugal pumps, water tanks for backwash supply and backwash water reclaim, are also included. The Mobile Pilot Filter Laboratory also includes the bench top instruments necessary for testing raw and filtered water quality.

The laboratory is delivered and set up at a job site by Pureflow field personnel. Pilot testing can then be performed by Pureflow field personnel, an independent consulting engineer, and / or the clients’ personnel.
