If procedures that simulate treatment plant conditions are followed, jar testing can produce important information quickly and economically, and the data are directly applicable to plant design, modification, and operation. The procedure offers greater flexibility and economy than the traditional pilot plant test for pretreatment. It has shown excellent scale‐up correlations with plant operating records.
