Containerized pilot plant on a customer site.

Step 02 of 05

Pilot Plants

Bench validation tells us whether membrane separation will work on your fluid. A pilot tells us how it will run for six months on your site, with your operators, your shift schedule, and your real feed variability. Petro Sep ships skid-mounted pilots in shipping containers, plumbs them in, and runs them long enough to size the production system with confidence.

What you get at this step

The deliverable.

At the end of pilot plants, here is what changes for your project.

Pilot duration
4 weeks to 12 months
Long enough for fouling, seasonal variation, and operator handover.
Data captured
Continuous, logged
Recovery, flux, rejection, energy consumption, cleaning frequency. All available to your team in real time.
Outcome
A sized full-scale system specification with predicted performance ranges, plus the data to back the prediction. Capex commitment is informed, not speculative.

Capabilities and equipment

What we bring.
What we own.

We do not subcontract this step. The capabilities and equipment below are in-house, and they show up on your project.

01

Containerized pilot fleet

20-foot and 40-foot ISO containers, plumbed and instrumented for our six core technologies. Ship anywhere, plug into power and feed, run.

02

Capacities from 5 to 500 L/h

Pilots sized to test the conditions that matter, not a token slipstream. Multi-skid options for parallel chemistries.

03

Remote monitoring and data logging

Continuous SCADA logging with cloud sync. Our engineers see what your operators see, and intervene before problems escalate.

04

Run durations from 4 weeks to 12 months

Long enough to capture seasonal feed shifts, fouling cycles, and cleaning regimes. We do not declare a pilot finished until performance is stable.
