Request a Bench or Pilot Test
What we need from you to scope the test: contaminant identity, approximate concentration, matrix characterisation data (conductivity, COD, chloride, pH), design flow rate, and the discharge target the test must demonstrate. The form below captures all of this.
Why engineers trust this process
- Test conducted on your actual stream — not a synthetic surrogate matrix
- Protocol designed by a process engineer with EO application experience
- Results formatted for commercial system specification and regulatory submission
- NDA available before you share characterisation data or site details
- Response within 2 business days — from an engineer, not a sales team
Bench and pilot test scope depends on the specific application. The intake form below covers the information needed to design a test protocol. If you do not have all parameters, submit what you have — we will identify the gaps.
Pilot request reviewed: July 2026.

Tell us about your stream
The more context you provide, the more precisely we can scope the test protocol. If data is not available, leave the field blank — we will identify what pre-testing characterisation is required.
Contact name and organisation *
Name, role, and company name
Email address and other means of contact*
Email address and contact numbers
Site country and region *
Country and state/region — relevant for regulatory context
Contaminant(s) *
Primary target compound(s) — e.g. PFOS/PFOA, ciprofloxacin, reactive azo dye, EDTA. Specify if proprietary.
Approximate concentration
e.g. 500 ng/L total PFAS, 2 mg/L ciprofloxacin, COD 800 mg/L — range is fine
Matrix: conductivity
µS/cm if known — or describe the stream (leachate, tap water dilution, high-salt brine)
Matrix: COD and chloride
COD (mg O₂/L) and chloride (mg/L) if measured
Matrix: pH range
Typical operating pH range
Design flow rate
m³/hr or m³/day — or describe the treatment volume
Regulatory driver
e.g. PFAS CERCLA liability, UWWTD 2033 deadline, discharge permit renewal, internal programme
Current treatment in place
Describe what is already treating the stream and what it is failing to achieve
Target outcome from the bench test
e.g. establish charge density for 90% PFAS removal; confirm BDD vs MMO selection; produce data for capital appropriation
Sample availability
Can you ship a sample? If so, approximate volume available (min 20L for bench, 500L for pilot). NDA required?
Submission triggers a review by a process engineer within 2 business days. We will confirm receipt, identify any missing parameters, and return a proposed test scope.
Your data is secure
We do not share your information with third parties. Submission triggers a direct response from our engineering team — not a sales sequence.
Response within 2 business days
Every submission is reviewed by an engineer, not a sales representative. You will receive a substantive response — not a product brochure.
NDA available on request
For proprietary matrix compositions or undisclosed site locations, we are happy to sign an NDA before you share characterisation data.
Validate Right Away
Testing simulates physical, chemical, or biological methods to confirm a treatment process can achieve required discharge or reuse standards
What we need from you to scope the test: contaminant identity, approximate concentration, matrix characterisation data (conductivity, COD, chloride, pH), design flow rate, and the discharge target the test must demonstrate. The form below captures all of this.
What you need to submit — and what we do with it
What the bench report will contain
j-removal curve
We run 5–6 current density points and produce a j-removal curve. You receive the optimal operating current density for your specific stream.
Charge density at target removal
We establish the Ah/L value at which your target compound reaches the discharge limit. This is the primary commercial sizing parameter.
Byproduct profile
AOX, bromate, fluoride, and any matrix-specific byproducts profiled alongside target compound removal.
Energy consumption figure
kWh/m³ at the confirmed optimal current density — the primary operating cost input for your project economics.
How the programme works
Five steps from request to report
1
Submit your pilot request
Complete the intake form above. Within 2 business days, you will receive a proposed test scope, required sample volume, shipping instructions, and a cost estimate for the programme.
2
Send your sample
Ship the sample to our testing facility with the completed sample information sheet. For sites with NDA requirement, the NDA is countersigned before you share any data.
3
Bench test execution
Bench test run against the proposed protocol. Typically 3–6 weeks depending on the scope. You receive a progress update at the midpoint. Scope adjustments are discussed with you before any deviation from the agreed protocol.
4
Test report and commercial specification
Bench report: j-removal curves, charge density at target, energy consumption, byproduct profile. If bench data supports commercial development, a preliminary commercial specification is included: electrode area, operating current density, power supply rating, and energy cost model.
5
Pilot programme (if required)
For applications requiring CERCLA destruction documentation, regulatory submission, or complex matrix validation, a pilot programme on-site or at our facility follows the bench programme. Scope is agreed before bench completion.
Sample requirements
What to send, how much, and how to ship it
Most bench programmes require 20–50 litres of representative sample. For leachate, produced water, and high-volume process streams, 20 litres is sufficient for a full bench protocol. For low-volume side-streams or precious process samples, contact us before shipping — minimum sample requirements vary by contaminant concentration and the number of current density points in the protocol. Samples must be shipped in clean HDPE containers (no metal) in an insulated box with ice packs to maintain temperature below 10°C during transit. PFAS samples must use dedicated PFAS-free HDPE containers with no PTFE-lined caps. Regulatory compliance for sample transport (UN-classified hazardous materials, PFAS as emerging contaminant) is handled under your site’s existing sample shipping procedure — we can provide shipping guidelines on request.
- 20–50 L for standard bench programme; 500–1,000 L for pilot
- HDPE containers only — no metal, no PTFE-lined caps for PFAS samples
- Ship refrigerated, <10°C in transit — ice packs in insulated container
- PFAS samples: dedicated PFAS-free HDPE containers, document container lot number
- Label with: compound name, concentration range, collection date, site reference
- Hazardous material transport: follow your site’s existing sample shipping classification
Common questions
Pilot Test Request FAQ
NDA-first
We sign NDAs before any confidential data is shared. Site identity and compound identity can remain undisclosed throughout the programme.
Engineer-designed
Every test protocol is designed by a process engineer with EO application experience — not by a sales team selecting from a standard menu.
Report-formatted
Bench reports are formatted for commercial specification and regulatory submission — not as internal lab notes.

System Design Consultation
If the bench test confirms EO, the next step is scoping the commercial system.
