Treatability studies are used to evaluate existing or innovative remediation technologies and develop site-specific design parameters for field application of the chosen technologies.  Treatability studies are conducted at the bench-scale level and are used for the design of pilot or full-scale applications.

Bench-scale testing is a time and cost-effective way to evaluate site-specific remediation options without resorting to expensive pilot tests.  Design parameters that are obtained can result in significant cost savings during full-scale application.

Spectrum designs the treatability tests based on field information and client recommendations.  The lab works closely with the client, and other stakeholders if applicable, to design a study that addresses the client's needs.  The final report includes method description, observations, data interpretation, conclusions and recommendations.

Spectrum Analytical has been conducting treatability studies since June 2005 under the guidance of Dr. Amine Dahmani, the former Director of the Site Assessment and Remediation Laboratory at the University of Connecticut.
