Book excerpt: This first chapter is the protocol for equipment verification testing for the physical chemical aid biological removal of nitrate from contaminated water supplies. Specifically, this protocol discusses the information and procedures requested from equipment manufacturers who wish to have their package treatment plants verified and tested under the NSF/EPA verification testing program. In order to participate in the equipment verification process a Manufacturer Field Operations Document (FOD) using this study protocol and adhering to the requirements herein is necessary. The contents of the Manufacturer FOD are described in this protocol document. The manufacturer will include only those items of information that pertain to his specific equipment and testing objectives. The descriptive material in this protocol represents the format and type of information which would be required for NSF/EPA verification testing. The Manufacturer FOD should not be viewed as a promotional document, but as a document which will transfer technical information about the equipment, the site of the testing and information regarding successful operation to those unfamiliar with the equipment and location of the test. The testing of new technologies and materials which are unfamiliar to the NSF/EPA will not be discouraged. For example, resins or membranes or any other material or chemical which have not been tested under the ANSI/NSF Standard 61 protocol may be employed in the package plant. If so, these materials must be identified for review by NSF/EPA. The disclosure of the existence or use of proprietary or patented material and procedures should also be made in the Manufacturer FOD.
