Laboratory and Pilot Scale Ozone/AOP Services
Ozone & AOP Feasibility Testing Services
From Proof of Concept to Full-Scale Implementation
At PRM, we bridge the gap between laboratory theory and industrial reality. Located within our 200,000 sq. ft. manufacturing headquarters in Butner, NC, our specialized laboratory and pilot-scale testing facilities allow clients to de-risk their water treatment projects through data-driven feasibility studies.
Bench-Scale Feasibility Laboratory
For initial proof-of-concept and reaction kinetics studies, our onsite laboratory provides a controlled environment to determine the precise ozone demand and oxidation potential of your specific water matrix.
Advanced Gas Delivery: Equipped with a 10g/hr ozone generator and a custom-engineered gas mixing apparatus for precise dosage control.
Real-Time Analytics: Continuous recirculation systems allow for the simultaneous monitoring of ORP, pH, Temperature, Dissolved Ozone, and Residual Peroxide.
Precision Monitoring: We utilize Teledyne high and mid-concentration ozone monitors to capture analytical data for both injection gas and off-gas concentrations, ensuring accurate mass transfer calculations.
Safety First: All bench-scale testing is conducted under high-efficiency laboratory ventilation hoods to ensure a safe working environment for even the most aggressive oxidation tests.
Industrial Pilot-Scale Testing
When you are ready to scale, PRM offers in-house pilot testing using client-provided samples and our industrial-grade, skid-mounted 60g/hr and 70g/hr Ozone/AOP systems.
Scalable Volume: While we can accommodate nearly any volume, we typically process 275-gallon cage totes to simulate real-world hydraulic conditions.
Comprehensive AOP Solutions: Test the efficacy of Ozone, UV, and/or Hydrogen Peroxide in various combinations to determine the most cost-effective Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) for your contaminants.
Integrated Pre & Post-Treatment: Our facility is uniquely equipped to incorporate:
pH Adjustment and Chemical Precipitation
Aeration and Mechanical Filtration
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) polishing
Integrated Chiller Systems for temperature-sensitive reactions
The PRM Advantage: Custom Engineering & Fabrication
We are more than just a lab; we are a custom fabricator. Because our laboratory is integrated into our manufacturing facility, we can facilitate scaled process configurations that other firms cannot.
On-Demand Customization: With an extensive parts inventory and onsite fabrication shop, we can quickly build specialty batch tanks, custom manifolding, or unique reactor geometries to match your intended full-scale design.
Specialized Expertise: Our engineers and technicians specialize in Ozone/AOP technology. We don’t just run tests; we help design your process parameters, establish sampling protocols, and interpret complex data sets.
Full Chain of Custody: We handle laboratory confirmation analysis from start to finish—collecting, prepping, and shipping samples to our network of preferred NELAC-certified laboratories.
