Pilot testing plays a critical role in selecting sludge dewatering equipment for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. Each wastewater sludge presents a unique composition that influences the performance of the dewatering equipment. Therefore, tailored approaches are essential. Pilot testing serves as a validation that the equipment will operate effectively with the specific sludge, yielding crucial insights into expected throughput, cake solids, polymer consumption, and capture rate.

PW Tech’s highly skilled technicians conduct on-site pilot tests utilizing a mobile sludge dewatering trailer to produce reliable and accurate results. The goal is to identify the most suitable dewatering technology that delivers excellent performance and low operating costs. After the pilot testing, PW Tech will recommend the best solution for the customer based on the data collected.

Furthermore, these pilot tests provide the necessary information for the proper application of the dewatering equipment in site-specific conditions, allowing training plant personnel in the operation of the new equipment.
