Methods for Field-, Pilot-, and Bench-Scale Studies

1 METHODS FOR FIELD-, PILOT-, AND BENCH-SCALE STUDIES 

A sound theoretical basis, reliable and relevant methodologies for investigations and a conceptual description of the integrated phenomena and processes 

Analytical methods may, to some extent, be available for the determination of specific components. Such methods are generally found in Standard Methods for the Evaluation of Water and Wastewater (1998). 

Process studies are often performed as either batch or flow-reactor experiments. A general and important aspect of laboratory studies is that they can be performed under controlled process conditions. 

Reactor experiments must be elaborated to fulfill the specific objective of the study. In addition to the experimental setup, a carefully considered program for sampling, handling and analysis is required. A laboratory reactor experiment needs a lot of planning—and also typically experience—to be successful.
