At Fenton Technologies, we believe that you cannot treat what you do not understand. Our Characterisation & Treatability Testing services are designed to provide a comprehensive map of your wastewater’s chemical and biological profile. This data is critical for designing a treatment plant that is both efficient and cost-effective.
Our laboratory team performs high-precision pilots to simulate real-world treatment conditions. By testing various process regimes on a small scale, we eliminate operational uncertainties and guarantee that your full-scale plant will perform exactly as predicted.
Treatability Scope
We offer a range of specialized tests designed to de-risk your water treatment project and identify the most sustainable technology path.
- Full effluent chemical characterisation
- Bench-scale coagulation & flocculation tests
- Fouling potential analysis for RO membranes
- Biodegradability & toxicity studies
Analytical Benefits
Scientific characterisation is the difference between a plant that works and one that fails. We provide the technical certainty required for long-term operational success.
Eliminate Design Risks
Pilot testing ensures your system is sized correctly for the specific effluent profile.
Guaranteed Compliance
Our testing protocols align with environmental standards, ensuring your effluent meets all PCB discharge limits.
Testing Procedures FAQ
Understand how we move from a simple water sample to a complete process design.
Generally, a 20-50 liter representative sample of the effluent is required for initial characterisation and bench-scale treatability studies.
Typical studies take 7 to 14 days, depending on the number of parameters being tested and whether biological acclimatization is required for the study.
Yes, our lab is equipped to test for a wide range of heavy metals, recalcitrant organics, and other industry-specific pollutants.
While not always mandatory for standard sewage treatment, it is highly recommended for industrial effluent with varying characteristics to ensure optimal process design.
Yes, process designs based on our verified treatability studies come with guaranteed performance metrics for effluent quality.
