| Water Analysis |
 |
| The cations and anions in the water are measured to determine the scaling potential. This allows the most suitable anti-scalant to be selected. |
|

 |
|
| Particle Counting |
 |
| Water samples are
analyzed
for particles between 1-60 microns which can cause severe abrasion damage to the membrane surface. |

|
| Silt Density Index |
 |
| Is a measure of the level of suspended solids and colloids in the RO feed water that could cause membrane fouling. |

 |
|
| Jar Test |
 |
| Method of assessing the best flocculants/coagulants to remove suspended solids and colloids from feed waters. |

 |
|
| Deposit Analysis |
 |
| SEM-EDX, FTIR and other analytical techniques are used to evaluate and
characterize
deposits and foulants.

| Turbidity |
 |
| A turbidity meter is used to measure suspended solids in water. |
