The Technology Verification Program specifically encourages collaboration between vendors and users of technology. Through this program, teams of academic and business professionals form to implement a comprehensive evaluation of vendor specific performance claims. The result of successfully completing this program is documentation of independent third party confirmation of claims that provides valuable information to business and governmental decision-makers.

Three Components of the NJDEP Recommended TSS
Lab Testing Procedure
•Particle size distribution
•Full scale laboratory testing requirements
•Measuring treatment efficiency
NJDEP Recommended Particle Size Distribution for TSS Lab Testing
(d50 = 67 microns)
Full Scale Lab Test Requirements
Minimum of 15 test runs including:
•Three tests each at a constant flow rate of 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125% of treatment flow rate
•initial sediment loading of 50% of the unit’s capture capacity
•Three tests for each treatment flow rate for influent concentration of 100, 200, and 300 mg/L.
•For online systems, two tests at max operating rate with initial sediment loading of 50 and 100% of the unit’s capture capacity.
Measurement Treatment Efficiency
•Calculate the individual removal efficiency for the 15 test runs.
•Average the three runs for each operating rate.
•Apply the weight factors to the averages.
•Sum the results of the five weighted numbers.
