Treatability Laboratory Services
The difference between the success or failure of a remedial application is often a result of understanding the interaction of the site-specific geochemistry and biology with the proposed technology. Loureiro’s experience in conducting treatability testing enables us to determine the technology that is most likely to meet the remedial objectives in a cost-effective manner, tailored to the specific needs of the site and the client. By incorporating treatability testing into the selection and implementation of a remedial technology for a site, the overall project costs are greatly reduced.
Why Conduct a Treatability Test?
- Increased Certainty – The ability to identify undesirable outcomes and avoid technology failures prior to design and full-scale implementation
- Technology Selection – The flexibility to effectively evaluate multiple applicable technologies simultaneously
- Determine Reagent Quantities – An understanding of the type and quantity of reagent required to meet your site objectives. Under-dosing can result in additional unanticipated applications, while over-dosing is the equivalent to pumping capital down a well
- Cost Estimation – As reagent costs can make up a significant component of the full scale application costs, an understanding of the applicable reagents and costs can refine/confirm budget estimates
The ability to test one or a combination of technologies at the bench-scale results in a cost-effective and site-specific design and full-scale implementation. Select one of the options below for more information about different types of treatability services Loureiro offers:
