Making Confident CAPEX Decisions with Flocell’s Mobile Lab
When it comes to investing in high-value solutions, having the right data at the right time can make all the difference.
Making confident, informed CAPEX decisions is critical to ensuring your resources are allocated effectively and your systems deliver the desired outcomes.
At Flocell, we understand the stakes, which is why our Mobile Laboratory is designed to provide fast, accurate insights to empower smarter decision-making.
The Challenge
Recently, our Mobile Lab was deployed to a site with a £1 million tertiary filtration plant that had already been mothballed due to underperformance.
The filtration system relied on a 20µm screen filter, but the root cause of its inefficiency remained unclear. Without precise data, the operators struggled to identify the underlying issue and plan their next steps effectively.
The Solution
Flocell’s Mobile Lab was brought in to provide immediate, on-site particle size analysis.
Within just 15 minutes, our advanced equipment identified that 95% of the incoming particles were smaller than 10µm—well below the capabilities of the existing 20µm screen filter. This critical insight revealed the fundamental mismatch between the plant’s filtration system and the operational requirements.
Armed with this data, the operators were able to fully understand the root cause of the issue and use the insights to inform their decision-making process.
This clarity allowed them to explore alternative solutions better suited to the site’s needs, avoiding further inefficiencies and ensuring future CAPEX investments could be targeted and strategic.
The Outcome
By leveraging Flocell’s Mobile Lab, the site operators gained:
-
Accurate Data: A clear understanding of the root cause of the system’s underperformance.
-
Actionable Insights: The ability to make informed decisions about the plant’s future.
-
Optimised Resources: Avoiding unnecessary expenditure and reallocating resources to more effective solutions.
The rapid and reliable analysis provided by the Mobile Lab allowed the site team to turn a challenging situation into an opportunity to refine their approach and optimise their operations.
