Pilot Scale Tests

N. A. Water Systems has the capability to validate performance and optimize design by pilot testing many of our proprietary processes. Our mobile treatment units are brought to your site and operated by experienced personnel under various conditions to ensure the best technological solution for your water characteristics.

NEOSEP™ Immersed Membrane Bioreactor

Our new generation membrane bioreactor combines enhanced biological treatment using activated sludge with immersed membrane filtration to produce superior effluent quality.

The compact design results in a very small footprint for full-scale systems. The pilot treatment unit processes 2 GPM and establishes pretreatment requirements and performance results.

For more information please contact NEOSEP's Technology Manager, Erica Blumenschein.

ACTIFLO® / MULTIFLO™ Softening Technology

Our pilot unit for high rate softening technology has the capability of testing both ACTIFLO® and MULTIFLO™ softening processes to determine which best fits your application.

Both technologies offer high rate softening within a small footprint.

• Operating in ACTIFLO® Softening mode, the pilot unit processes up to 130 GPM combining chemical precipitation with recirculated microsand, which acts as a seed for floc formation.
• Operating in MULTIFLO™ Softening mode, the pilot unit treats up to 40 GPM and incorporates chemical precipitation with sludge thickening, producing a highly concentrated sludge that can easily be dewatered.

For more information on our High Rate Softening technologies please contact Mark Hess, Technical Manager.

OPUS™ Technology

OPUS™ technology is ideal for treatment of produced water from oil and gas exploration and production activities, or other industrial waste streams where zero discharge is desired.

OPUS™ technology utilizes a reverse osmosis process operated at an elevated pH to produce a high quality effluent suitable for recycle or reuse while generating low waste volume.The high water recovery rate is accomplished in either a single-pass or double-pass configuration, reducing total dissolved solids, silica, boron, and organics present in the feed water.

The technology involves degasification, MULTIFLO™ chemical softening, multimedia filtration, ion exchange, and cartridge filtration as pretreatment to the RO membranes.The entire process consists of a pilot treatment trailer and two skids that can be brought to your doorstep for testing your waste streams.The mobile unit processes up to 20 gpm.

For more information on our OPUS™ Technology pilot unit, contact Brad Biagini, Product Manager.

ZDD - Zero Discharge Desalination

Zero Discharge Desalination (ZDD) is a desalination technology that achieves higher water recovery that any other available alternative. The technology is ideal for inland brackish groundwater treatment, retrofitting existing RO systems, and plant capacity expansion as end-of-pipe add-on. Our pilot unit can be utilized to determine performance results at your site.

For more information on our ZDD pilot unit contact Brad Biagini.

In addition to our proprietary technologies, N. A. Water Systems has the capability to simulate a variety of other processes on site at your facility, including conventional treatment schemes. Our process engineers will evaluate your facility's needs and develop a testing protocol to collect the data needed for a new facility design or process improvements.

With our affiliation with our family of companies we can also provide many other proprietary technologies for pilot testing. Your project needs should be discussed with the sales or project manager assisting your facility.
