Water treatment is a chemistry experiment when you get down to it: take raw water, treat it with chemicals and physical processes, test, and send clean water suitable for drinking into the distribution system. As such, it is possible to take the large-scale process of treating water at a plant and simulate it through laboratory jar testing at a bench scale, enabling operators to evaluate and optimize elements of the treatment process.
