Jar Testing and Leaching Tests are key processes in water treatment and environmental protection, used to determine the best methods for ensuring better water quality and evaluating the potential environmental risks posed by pollutants. Jar Testing is widely used in water treatment plants to simulate the coagulation and flocculation process on a smaller scale. By doing so, operators can determine the correct dosage of chemicals needed to remove contaminants from water effectively. This process not only improves water quality but also ensures that treatments are optimized for efficiency, ultimately leading to safer water for human consumption and a reduced environmental footprint. Leaching Tests, on the other hand, help determine how much of a substance, particularly harmful solutes like heavy metals, can be released from solid waste into the environment. This test is needed to understand the long-term environmental impact of waste disposal and helps assess the solubility of materials under various conditions. The insights gained from leaching tests play a significant role in protecting ecosystems and preventing harmful substances from contaminating water sources.

Following the ever-evolving needs of laboratories, VELP has re-designed its flocculators with several advanced features to improve performance, usability, and reliability.
JLT Series | Multi-position Digital Flocculators Digital flocculators featuring adjustable stirring speed and timer, a powerful brushless motor, and an illuminated back panel. Available in both 4- and 6-position models, the JLT series provides standard and repeatable conditions for accurate results in water treatment tests.
FC S Series | Flocculators with Independent Positions Analog flocculators with adjustable stirring speeds, a powerful brushless motor, and an illuminated back panel. Available in 4 or 6 independent positions, the FC S series allows parallel testing under varying conditions, ideal for optimizing water treatment processes.
FP4 | Digital Portable Flocculator Digital portable flocculator featuring adjustable stirring speed and timer, a powerful brushless motor, a central lighting system, and a practical handle for comfortable and reliable on-site water treatment tests.
In today’s world, where human health protection, environmental safeguarding, and resource management are more crucial than ever, having the right instruments for accurate and reliable testing according to ASTM D-2035 (Jar Test) and ASTM C 1308-21 (Leaching Test) reference methods is fundamental. As environmental regulations become more stringent and the demand for clean water and effective waste management continues to grow, VELP’s latest flocculators provide the tools needed to meet these challenges head-on, delivering reliable, accurate, and reproducible results.
