Water treatment jar testing is a method of mechanically and physically testing chemical treatments on samples of wastewater to determine the optimal chemical treatment and related chemical dosages for a specific water or waste stream.
Achieve meaningful, useful, and transferable jar testing results by applying best practices learned from a recent study of 37 water treatment facilities in California. BY GUY SCHOTT, P.E.
As per the plant conditions, the jar test serves as a practical and informative tool to evaluate the effectiveness of chemical coagulation processes. In this comprehensive guide provides knowledge on the jar test, exploring its purpose, procedure, and significance in the water treatment process.
A successful jar testing procedure must successfully incorporate all the mixing factors for flash mixing and flocculation and settling in order to be an effective predictor of the performance of the plant.
The Jar Test is a common laboratory procedure used to simulate the coagulation/flocculation process in a wastewater treatment plant. It is an essential tool for determining the appropriate chemical dosages required for effective treatment, and for optimizing the performance of the treatment process.
The principle of jar tests is explained and parameters possible to optimize (i.e. coagulation pH, coagulant dose, flocculation aid dose, mixing intensity and mixing time) are discussed.
What is jar testing? Jar testing is a method of simulating a full-scale water treatment process, providing sys-tem operators a reasonable idea of the way a treatment chemical will behave and operate with a particular type of raw water. Because it mimics full-scale operation, system operators can use jar testing to help determine which
