PILOT & VALIDATION PROGRAM
Test FlowGate in your real operations before scaling.
For applications where fluid behaviour, oxygen demand, solids loading, or approval requirements need real-world validation, FlowGate pilot projects provide a structured path to evaluate performance before wider deployment.
WHEN A PILOT MAKES SENSE
Your fluid is difficult, variable, or high in solids.
Your current aeration system clogs, fouls, or cannot keep up
You need proof before a larger purchase
You want site-specific observations before scaling.
You are evaluating a new process, waste stream, pond, lagoon, or treatment system.
NOT EVERY PROJECT NEEDS A PILOT
READY TO INSTALL?
If your application is straightforward and you are ready to integrate FlowGate hardware, you can purchase a built-to-order aerator assembly directly.
NEED VALIDATION FIRST?
If your application requires testing, performance review, or stakeholder approval, a pilot project can help validate fit before scaling.
WHAT WE EVALUATE
Fluid type & viscosity
Solids, fibers, debris, and fouling risk
Tank, basin, pond, or lagoon geometry
Depth and available blower capacity
Oxygen demand, odor, or anoxic conditions
Mixing, circulation, and solids suspension
Maintenance problems and failure points
Scale-up requirements
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Application review
We review your system, fluid conditions, operating goals, and installation constraints.
Pilot configuration
We recommend a FlowGate assembly configuration matched to your application.
Built-to-order assembly
Pilot hardware is supplied based on the selected configuration.
Startup guidance
We provide setup guidance, operating recommendations, and remote support during startup.
Performance review
After operation, we review observations, issues, photos/video, and available data to determine next steps.
WHAT THE SITE PROVIDES
Pilot projects are typically customer-supported. The site usually provides the vessel or water body, installation labour, power, blower or air supply where available, operating access, and any site-specific sampling or lab testing required for their internal decision-making.
Tank, pond, lagoon, basin, or process system
Power and air supply / blower where applicable
Plumbing and installation support
Site access and operating observations
Optional DO, pH, ORP, energy, or lab data
