Bench Scale Testing

Article osti 1349123 title bench scale development and testing of aerogel sorbents for co2 capture final technical report author begag redouane abstractnote the primary objective of this project was scaling up and evaluating a novel amine functionalized aerogel afa sorbent in a bench scale fluidized bed reactor.

Bench scale testing. Bench scale and treatability testing. Bench scale testing is the first step in determining which technology can achieve a desired result and what realistic performance might be for a certain technology. For batch processes in the pharmaceutical industry for example bench scale is typically conducted on samples 1 20 kg or less whereas pilot scale testing is performed with samples of 20 100 kg.

The project team aspen aerogels university of akron ada es. The use of and when assessing achievable processing performance for new processes. There are two basic types of bench scale testing.

It should be noted that bench scale testing is a snapshot of the process. Where the results of bench scale testing have indicated that a specific treatment process or a select group of treatment processes can offer effective treatment a pilot plant project may be warranted. Vertex routinely completes bench scale and treatability testing in our in house laboratory such as determining the relative effectiveness of different types of oxidants and testing the optimal dosing and or activation methods of oxidants to remediate contaminants at specific sites.

Typically bench scale is in a laboratory and uses systems that can t handle more than 50l at a time often much more per day depending on flow rates. Many site bench scale testing. From sample selection preparation to determine comminution characteristics through to optimising recovery and extraction als provides comprehensive testwork programs for every project stage.

Als offers a full range of bench scale metallurgical test programs for a variety of metals minerals and commodities. Demonstration scale is essentially operating the equipment at full commercial feed rates over extended time periods to prove operational stability. If the treatment plant experiences process variations pilot testing at the plant site may be necessary.

Static batch reactor tests typically take small samples of contaminated soil or groundwater 1 kg or 1 l each from a site and expose them to various types and or concentrations of remedial amendments in a sealed container. Bench scale testing of product recovery and waste treatment alternatives for distillery and brewery waste products for a central american beverage conglomerate. The pilot and bench scale testing evaluate the effects of multiple disinfectants and oxidants the ability of coagulation granular activated carbon miex resin and membrane to remove nom and bromide ion and their combined impact on dbp formation nitrification potential and microbial regrowth.
