Today we will talk a little more about the Jar-Test and how it helps in the operation and reduction of costs in the treatment of water and industrial and domestic effluents.
The Jar-Test consists of a test carried out on equipment of the same name, where it is possible to simulate the intended treatment in the WTP/ETP. Through this test, different simulations can be performed, such as changes in the effluent pH, product agitation time, dosages, as well as predicting the possible results of these experiments.
To carry out the test, it is necessary to separate the effluent to be tested (raw), distributing it equally in jars. Then, different products or amounts are dosed, normally calculated in ppm or mL. The products used in the tests are coagulants, flocculants and polymers. Through constant and controlled agitation, the products will act, resulting in the desired simulations. The final test result is evaluated by the clarification of the treated effluent, turbidity, floc formation, settling time and analysis in the supernatant, if necessary.
This test is an important ally, helping to obtain the appropriate dosages and products for each treatment. Seta has equipment for testing, which is used in technical visits to customers.
