Water Treatment Pilot Testing Consultants
Independent Pilot Testing & Process Optimization for Drinking Water Systems
We provide independent engineering pilot testing services to evaluate, optimize, and validate drinking water treatment processes for municipalities, utilities, consulting engineers, and industrial water systems.
Our work supports confident, data-driven design and capital investment decisions before full-scale implementation.
Reduce risk. Improve performance. Validate design with real-world data.
Why Water Treatment Pilot Testing Matters
Pilot testing is essential for validating drinking water treatment technologies under real operating conditions before capital investment.
Our pilot studies support:
- Water treatment plant upgrade selection and evaluation
- Technology validation and performance verification
- Process optimization for existing systems
- Troubleshooting operational issues in full-scale plants
- Treatability studies for source water and emerging contaminants
- Generation of site-specific design criteria for engineering reports
- Capital cost, O&M cost, and lifecycle cost development
- Third-party validation for consultants, utilities, and funding agencies
- Compliance with evolving PFAS and drinking water regulations
- Evaluation of PFAS residuals management and treatment/disposal options
- Regulatory approval support using validated performance data
- Operator training and stakeholder engagement for new processes
- Support for funding applications and infrastructure planning
- Emergency operational support, including boil water advisory situations
- Application of data-driven tools, including WaterAI-based process optimization

Our Pilot Testing Process
Step 1 – Project Definition
Initial site visit with stakeholders to define objectives, scope, and performance requirements.
Step 2 – Pilot Testing Proposal
Detailed technical proposal including test protocol, sampling plan, and methodology (typically 1 week).
Step 3 – Pilot System Setup
Installation, calibration, and operator training for pilot equipment (approximately 3 weeks).
Step 4 – Testing & Data Collection
