What is ISO 22524 about?
ISO 22524 discusses water reuse. ISO 22524 provides the fundamental principles and guidelines for industrial wastewater treatment technology pilot studies. ISO 22524 applies to a wide range of industrial water treatment systems for the purposes of reuse.
ISO 22524 includes the critical considerations, methods, criteria and processes which need to be a part of every pilot plant study, from the initial planning through to the post-pilot analysis of the data collected during the pilot study.
Note1: ISO 22524 does not address laboratory research and development, study or testing of a given technology.
Note2: ISO 22524 does not cover reuse applications or operations, such as irrigation.
Who is ISO 22524 for?
ISO 22524 on industrial wastewater treatment technology pilot studies is useful for:
- Industrial wastewater facilities
- Analytical research laboratories
- Individuals/entities who want to improve wastewater treatment technology
- Sustainability researchers
- Manufacturers that release waste into water
Why should you use ISO 22524?
An industrial wastewater treatment pilot plan is a specific case of a chemical, physical, and biological processing pilot plan. However, this type of treatment poses many unique challenges that need to be covered by the wastewater treatment pilot plan. Some industrial wastewater characteristics vary seasonally or are based on changes in industrial processing and product generation. It could be necessary to adjust or test different operating conditions and control strategies and settings to achieve the highest efficiencies and determine the most suitable economic operating conditions.
With some necessary modifications and adjustments, ISO 22524 can be used for comparative testing and analysis of the suitability of existing and proven commercial solutions to specific sites and applications. ISO 22524 provides you with general guiding principles for pilot planning and performance to verify laboratory-scale findings and potential for commercialization. ISO 22524 provides you with the critical guidelines and considerations for the successful implementation of a wastewater treatment pilot plan.
