Pilot Scale Systems
Pilot Scale Water Supply System
Pilot scale water supply system – with several pipe loops of polyvinylchloride and cast iron pipes (length 150m – DN 50 and 75mm, 200m – DN 25mm) with circulation pump, frequency controller, clear water reservoir (10 m3), and waste water reservoir (18 m3). This pilot is dedicated for drinking water discoloration, microbial regrowth and drinking water quality monitoring and contamination event detection studies, also for development of cleaning protocols applicable for drinking water decontamination from chemical/biological agents
Drinking Water Distribution Network Flushing System
Mobile drinking water network flushing prototype developed for discoloration minimization in real scale drinking water distribution networks. Used in numerous studies on drinking water discoloration in multiple drinking water supply systems. Equiped with flow and turbidity meters.
Pilot Scale Mobile Smart Biofilter System for Groundwater Treatment
Pilot scale drinking water treatment system equiped with smart and innovative biofiltration technology. Tested and applied for groundwater treatment.
Pilot Scale Biogas Production System
Mobile pilot scale biogas production system applied and tested for biogas production from diary wastes.
Pilot Scale Biofuel Production System
Pilot scale biofuel production system applied for biofuel production from agricultural waste.
Equipment
Most of our facilities you can find in UseScience. UseScience system was developed to catalogue, record and locate their kit effectively. UseScience contains laboratory equipment, ICT and specialist tools. Each item includes its specification, custodian, location, access requirements, usage data and photos. By using UseScience organisations are able to work towards more efficiency, utilising the assets already in existence and lessening the need for duplication of material assets to become a more sustainable campus. Benefits include:
3. Maximises opportunity for re-use of specialist equipment locally by HEIs, industry and Small to Medium Enterprises (SME).
