Validation testing for a rainwater harvesting solution

In an effort to advance their current product from an initial operational prototype to a more refined final prototype, Rainsurfer limited asked for validation testing to be carried out by an Independent third party, in this case the PEM Technology Gateway knowledge provider based at IT Sligo.

The purpose of the testing was to help determine the envelope of operation parameters and help to highlight any possible shortcomings of the system. Some of the key performance indicators identified prior to testing included Flowrate, Pressure (Head) and Lift advantage provided by the operating principle of the system’s design. The PEM Technology Gateway principle investigators conducted several validations tests on campus, analysed the raw data and reported the findings in the final report.
