Laboratory services and pilot tests

We validate all wastewater treatment concept studies - including dimensioning and cost estimates - at our laboratory in Ghent, Belgium.

Our laboratory combines expertise and innovative equipment for comprehensive wastewater treatment monitoring. In addition to standard analyses of process parameters - which allow us to control the quality of wastewater entering treatment plants, assess the performance of installed treatment units, and monitor effluent quality at discharge - our laboratory has a wide range of  state-of-the-art pilot installations:

  • Physicochemical treatment systems
  • Biological treatment units (aerobic, anaerobic): with various  configurations (MBBR, UASB, EGSB, etc.) 
  • Membrane filtration (MF/UF/RO) and primary or tertiary treatment systems (sand filtration, activated carbon filtration) 
  • Ozone (O3) oxidation tests, Fenton, .....
  • Electrolysis (ED) treatment units 
  • ...etc.

A state-of-the-art laboratory
