4. Pilot tests and extrapolation
4.1 Pilot test procedures
The test program must be defined so as to obtain data of a fundamental nature, such as the effects of solute concentration and the direction of material transfer.
-
The following constraints must be met.
The pilot unit must have a capacity at least equal to 10% of the industrial capacity, which means, for example, a minimum diameter of around 50 to 100 mm for a column.
The height of the column should correspond to 5 or 6 true transfer units (about 3 to 4 in the case of plug flow), or for a stepped contactor, a minimum of 8 to 10 compartments.
