Remediation
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?
Technology Selection
Flexibility to evaluate multiple applicable technologies simultaneously
Determine Type and Quantities of Reagent(s)
Avoid under-dosing, which can lead to additional applications, or over-dosing- the equivalent to pumping capital down a well
Increased Certainty
Identify undesirable outcomes and avoid technology failures prior to design.
Cost Estimation
As reagent costs can be a significant component of the full scale budget, bench-scale testing allows refinement of reagent dosing and associated costs
Testing one or a combination of technologies at the bench-scale results in a cost-effective, site-specific design and full-scale implementation. See below for more information about the different types of treatability services Loureiro offers:
