EE&T has worked with all combinations of providing pilot facilities. We have worked with manufacturer based pilot plants, built site specific pilot equipment and provided the facilities on a lease or sale basis, designed and had contractor built facilities that were purchased by the utility or provided our own in-house equipment on a monthly rental basis. EE&T itself owns conventional pilot facilities—rapid mix, flocculation, sedimentation, and 4- or 6- in. diameter filters. We have an ozone generator and ozone columns and several sets of GAC columns constructed of glass and stainless steel for organics studies. EE&T also owns spiractor softening equipment.

EE&T owns on-line particle counters and on-line turbidimeters. We have set up several pilot facilities with automatic computer data logging. The trailer lab pictured was specifically designed for the purpose of providing laboratory and communication support at a remote facility. It was fully equipped with wet chemistry analytical equipment, batch particle counters as well as telecommunications equipment (fax, cellular phone, two computer/modem systems) needed to communicate and share data with our headquarters staff.
