Treatability studies provide an opportunity to evaluate and optimize site-specific remediation performance variables in a controlled laboratory setting. SiREM technical experts have performed hundreds of treatability studies, for a wide variety of contaminant mixtures and remediation technologies, that demonstrate the strong correlation between laboratory treatability study observations and what can be achieved “in the field”.
Treatability Studies Save Time & Money and Increase Confidence
Treatability studies minimize risks associated with remedy selection, implementation, increase stakeholder confidence and lead to reduced remediation time frames and costs by:
- Determining the best value remediation amendments
- Performance optimization, which reduce remediation time frames and O&M costs
- Reducing the likelihood of costly changes in project direction at field scale
- Regulatory approvals not required to screen remedial options
