Before committing to a full-scale water treatment system, pilot testing provides the data you need to make a confident capital decision. Global Water Treatment Services designs and operates bench-scale and pilot-scale programs that characterize your feedwater, optimize pretreatment chemistry, and validate membrane performance under real operating conditions.

Field water sampling and laboratory analysis at an industrial site

Our laboratory analysis services include water chemistry modelling, scale inhibitor selection and optimization, membrane fouling assessment, and CIP protocol development — all performed by our in-house technical team.

What Pilot Testing Provides

  • Validated membrane flux and rejection data at your actual feedwater conditions
  • Optimized pretreatment chemistry (coagulant, antiscalant, pH)
  • Fouling rate characterization and CIP protocol development
  • Water recovery optimization and brine management data
  • Performance data to support permit applications and regulatory submissions
  • Basis of design for full-scale system sizing and performance guarantees
