Independent and Impartial Pilot Studies for Water and Wastewater Treatment

For over 25 years, Blueleaf has helped consulting engineers and municipalities prove treatment processes work before they're built at full scale.

Testing Before You Build

Water and wastewater treatment plants are complex, expensive to build, and every water source behaves differently. Before committing to full-scale construction, engineers and municipalities need proof that the selected treatment process will actually perform.

That's where Blueleaf comes in. We design and operate small-scale (pilot) treatment systems that test water quality and process performance under real conditions, giving you data you can trust before the full-scale plant is built.

Unlike equipment vendors who run their own performance evaluations, Blueleaf doesn't sell full-scale treatment equipment. We have no stake in which process "wins"; our commitment is only to reporting what the data actually shows. Our clients appreciate that our independence is what makes our results credible.
