How We Work

We don't size from brochures

Every industrial liquid is different. The contamination load, the additive profile, the production variability, the operator behavior - none of it appears in a catalog. A system sized from average assumptions will perform to average assumptions, which in real industrial conditions means it will fail.

We start with your liquid. We test it, measure it, and engineer around what the data actually shows. Only then do we size a system.

Step 1

On-site situational analysis

We start with questions, not products. Before anything else, we need to understand what we are actually dealing with - your system type, your liquid chemistry, your additives, your tank volume, your flow regime, and your current contamination levels. This structured review gives us the full technical picture of your operation. It allows us to identify stability risks, assess improvement potential, and determine whether and how the IPC platform can help - based on real data from your facility, not assumptions about your industry.

Step 2

Liquid analysis and baseline measurement

We analyze the current condition of your liquid alongside any existing analytical data you have. Then we run bench tests – mandatory, without exception – to calibrate the exact treatment requirements for your specific fluid.

Example of what we could measure:
Dose and decay curve
Microbial inactivation rate
BOD/COD levels
Contact time and temperature influence
Oil separation dynamics
Sensitivity to additives

No assumptions. Only data.

Step 3

Engineering safety factors and integration planning

Laboratory systems are stable. Industrial systems are not.

Real production environments introduce variability that no bench test can fully replicate – contamination spikes, operator behavior, temperature cycles, production changes. We apply engineering safety margins that account for all of it, ensuring the system performs under your worst conditions, not just your average ones.

At this stage we also plan sensor integration – the monitoring infrastructure that will allow the system to continuously track process conditions and dynamically adjust capacity as your operation changes.

Step 4

Modular IPCx design and system selection

With the bench data and safety factors established, we design the physical configuration of the IPC platform around the physics of your facility.

The modular design is tailored to your specific parameters, like:
Load removal rate
Hydraulic recirculation and bypass ratio
Circulation speed
Tank geometry including dead zones
Variability over time

Every configuration uses clearly defined models and add-ons. No unnecessary complexity. No guesswork.

Step 5

Pilot optimization

Because reality always wins.

We run the system under real production conditions and optimize the setup to handle what the bench tests approximated – regrowth behavior in your environment, your oil and additive variability, your temperature cycles, your filtration conditions, your production spikes.

We adjust until stable, verified performance is confirmed. Not assumed. Confirmed.

Step 6

Final sizing and implementation

Final system sizing and design curves are issued only after the system has demonstrated stable, leak-free, verified long-term behavior under real conditions.

This is not a formality. It is the point at which we can say with certainty that the configuration will hold up in your operation – because it already has. Every number we issue is based on proven operational results, not projections or catalog values.

”The system paid for itself in three months. We stopped replacing fluid every two weeks and started replacing it every three months. That's not just cost savings - that's operational control.”

Answers to common questions about how we work.

How is an IPCx system sized?

System capacity is determined by the actual pollution load in your fluid, not the volume of your tank. We conduct bench testing on your specific liquid to establish the real treatment demand. This eliminates oversizing and undersizing, ensuring you pay only for what you need.

What is required before installing IPCx?

Mandatory liquid analysis comes first. We test your fluid for pathogen concentration, oxidation demand, and stability markers. Without this data, any system recommendation is a guess. We don't guess.

How do I start a project with Brairtech?

Contact our engineering team to schedule an on-site process review. We conduct a structured assessment of your current system and outline the technical path forward. The dialogue starts with your operation, not our product range.

What happens during bench testing?

We take samples of your actual fluid and run them through controlled treatment cycles in our lab. This reveals the exact oxidation demand, treatment time, and system configuration needed for your operation. The results become your verified decision report.

Why not use catalog sizing?

Catalog values assume standard conditions that rarely match your reality. Your fluid has unique contamination profiles, temperature ranges, and production schedules. Sizing from brochures leads to wasted capital and poor performance. We engineer for your specific situation.

We don't guess, we engineer

Liquid testing and analysis precede every system recommendation. Every configuration we issue is based on verified data from your specific operation - not catalog values, not industry averages, not projections.
